1. Will NetTerm work with netcom?
The basic telnet client of NetTerm will work with the netcom TCP/IP
software, but not the zmodem or FTP server. We are currently working
on ways to resolve this. NetTerm will however work completely if you
use a winsock such as Trumpet instead of the normal netcom software.
We have included a script file, netcom.txt, which can be used with
Trumpet to access netcom. Based upon our tests with netcom, the
purchase of Trumpet WinSock is a very wise investment and will make
your WWW surfing much faster and enjoyable. You should also take a
look at http://www.ix.netcom.com/faq/pc for additional information.
2. Will the FTP Server work with BBS's that support this feature?
Yes, we have tried it with bbs.execpc.com and got excellent results.
3. Will the NetTerm zmodem file transfer work with my BBS over the
Internet?
The hard facts are, some BBS's support the zmodem protocol fully and
some do not. Also, it appears that some BBS's treat Internet based
zmodem requests as the lowest of low on the priorty list of things
to get done. So much so, we have observed file transfers at 100
bytes per second! Others can transfer files at the speed of your
logon modem baud rate. Transfer speeds will also vary with the
number of logged in users. It's worth the time to give it a try
if you have Internet access and normally dial long distance to your
BBS. It could save you a lot of money if your BBS supports it.
4. Will NetTerm work with the Netscape WWW client?
Yes, just define NetTerm to Netscape by using Netscape's Options,
Preferences menu. Select the "Applications and Directories" tab.
On the line "Telnet Application", use the browse button to locate
NetTerm and you ready to telnet directly from Netscape.
5. How do I adjust the size of the NetTerm window?
The size of the main window depends upon three values, the number
of rows, the number of columns and most important, the size of
the font. In most cases, the rows and columns remain fixed at
24x80 so the font size is really what determines the overall size
of the screen. If you have a need to just monitor a site, chose
a small font size from the font dialog box. If you have a large
monitor, and want a really big display then just double an existing
value displayed in the font dialog box. For example, if you are
using the font isi_oem and you see the value 10 displayed in the
font dialog box, type in 20 and you will get a large window size.
6. How do I get the correct international characters for my country?
NetTerm has the ability to map both the keyboard and video with
the use of country tables. The country table can be defined by
host, using the 'Mapping' push button within the phone directory.
A country table must be created by copying the country.ini file
to another file prefixed with the desired country name, such as
norway.ini. Then define this mapping file to one of your hosts
and use the Options-Setup-International menu to map both the
video and keyboard sections. The example file norway.ini contains
the following mappings:
Video KeyBoard Normal KeyBoard Shifted
0x7b --> 0xe6 0x1a --> 0x7d 0x1a --> 0x5d
0x7c --> 0xf8 0x27 --> 0x7c 0x27 --> 0x5c
0x7d --> 0xe5 0x28 --> 0x7b 0x28 --> 0x5b
0x5b --> 0xc6
0x5c --> 0xd8 Note that the keyboard mapping uses
0x5d --> 0xc5 the unique Windows key scan code.
The Options-Setup-International menu also has a global flag that
will enable/disable mapping for all hosts.
InterSoft will accept unique country files and will include them
in the normal distribution of NetTerm. Once you have tested out
your country file, email to the address shown in the About box.
7. How can I print files that contain binary HP escape sequences?
The program netsend.c should be uploaded to your host and compiled.
This program is designed to handle files with binary HP printer
control sequences and extremely long lines which would normally
not work correctly with the standard netprint script file.
8. For the Unix WordPerfect users, from one of our clients:
A hint: If any other Netterm users inquire about using
your telnet with WP5.2+ for Unix, ensure they use
386CONS as the value for the environment variable
WPTERM52 when using KEYS-WORDPERFECT. Even though they
are actually using vt100 emulation, this will ensure the
system anticipates the correct codes.
9. I can't get NetTerm to save my phone book entries.
This is normally happens when you unzip and install NetTerm
in the same directory. You must unzip the NetTerm distribution
in a temporary directory, then install into it's permanent
directory.
10. Can I use the SmartButtons to select a menu item such as
Print Screen? Yes, if you place ~99999 in the Transmitted
Key Data field (where 99999 is one of the menu item codes)
NetTerm will select that menu item.
Refer to the following table for value menu item codes.
