OS2You

WinTerm on-line help

OS2You is a communication software allowing remote operation of any OS/2 full screen text session or DOS full screen text session, over an asynchronous line (by cable or modem), NetBIOS session, SPX session a pipe or a remote pipe (over a LAN).

The program can be used with many different terminals and allows high speed file transfers between host and remote.  The program may be used in two different ways.  You can run the program as it stands alone, but it is also possible to call the program from your own program, allowing your own programs to offer remote operation.

Some different ideas on how to use OS2You:

·	Installed on your office PC, it is possible to run the PC and access the files from your home using a PC, laptop or even a simple terminal.

·	Installed in a BBS, it is possible to run most character based programs on-line in the BBS (like on-line games), or run maintenance programs.

·	Installed in a LAN with NetBIOS or SPX, it is possible to mirror the output of an OS/2 machine to any amount of terminals over a network (classroom operation).

·	Installed in a LAN, it is possible to run programs on different machines on the network. This makes it possible for DOS requesters to run OS/2 character applications without installing OS/2 on them.

·	Installed in a LAN, it is possible to access asynchronous ports for outgoing traffic both from OS/2 and DOS requesters, using included programs, or any character based OS/2 communication package.
