INTRODUCTION TO HOST MODE
Telix allows you to set up your computer as a remote host, so
that others may call your system and perform operations like
transferring files and chatting. In short it is like having a
small BBS on your system, without all the setup work (however
if your security needs are complicated you should consider us-
ing a real BBS program). There are a few requirements to run-
ning Host Mode. Your modem must be able to pick up the phone
when it rings. The CD (Carrier Detect) Mask must be properly
defined in the Configuration Menu, so that Telix can tell when
it is connected to a caller. Telix must also be able to hang
up the modem by dropping (turning off) the DTR line on the RS-
232 port. If one of these requirements is not met you probably
can not run Telix Host Mode on your system.
The Telix Host Mode is implemented as a script in Telix's pow-
erful SALT script language. To run the Host Mode script, press
Alt-G while in Terminal mode, and then enter 'HOST' as the
script file name. The script 'HOST' will then be run.
