The files contained in this archive allow you to add Lmodem protocol to
Telix. At the current time, this file supports RECEIVING files (downloading)
only -- I'll put up a new version as soon as I get the upload function in.
This program has only been tested with Telix -- if you use another
telecommunications program, you'll have to experiment with it on your own.
Installing Lmodem under Telix
-----------------------------
In this installation, I am going to assume two things:
(a) that you run Telix out of a subdirectory on drive C:
named \TELIX\
(b) that you have Telix set up to place your downloads
into a subdirectory named C:\TELIX\DOWNLOAD\.
If either of these are not true on your system, simply substitute your
drive and subdirectories in place of these in the LMRECV.BAT file.
1. Copy LMODEM.EXE and LMRECV.BAT into your C:\Telix subdirectory.
2. Boot up Telix, and hit ALT-O to configure it.
3. Choose "Protocol options".
4. Edit the first empty "External protocol" in the list.
5. Fill in the screen as follows:
Key Protocol name Upload name Download name BAT/Script DL name
--- ------------- ----------- ------------- ---------- -------
L Lmodem <enter> LMRECV Batch No
6. Press ESC, then "Save options to disk".
That's all there is to it! Be sure to edit the LMRECV.BAT file to make
sure that the download path is what you want it to be. If you are trying
to install this with another program other than Telix, the command line
switches to LMODEM are as follows:
lmodem r -d<download path> -p<port number> -b<baud rate>
o at the current time, only "r"eceive is supported (but it still must
be specified on the command line).
o -d specifies the path to place the downloaded files in. If this
switch is not specified, the downloads will be placed into the
current default subdirectory.
o -p specifies the port number (1 or 2 only). If omitted, the port
number will default to 1.
o -b specifies the baud rate. If this parameter is omitted, LMODEM
will assume that the port is already configured to the desired
baud rate.
o An example command line would be:
lmodem r -dc:\download\ -p1 -b19200
Let me know if you have any problems...
