TermiteTCP V1.02
Copyright © 1996 Oregon Research
All Rights Reserved
Thank you for purchasing TermiteTCP. Please take the time to read all the
information in this file. It contains important information, corrections,
and additions to the TermiteTCP manual. To get the most out of Termite TCP,
please be sure to read the entire manual including Reggie's Guide to the
Internet. Also please be sure to fill out and return your registration card.
It is required to receive technical support and it allows us to notify you of
important program and upgrade information.
The following is a description of features that have been added to Termite TCP
after the manual was printed.
Technical Support Phone Number
******************************
A mistake was made in the technical support phone number listed on page 4 of
your user manual. The correct numnber is (503) 968-9250
Login Script Command: DELAY
***************************
A DELAY command has been added to the login script commands. Some systems
are slow in responding to certain actions. The DELAY command is designed to
prevent login script commands from executing too quickly, before the system
is ready. For instance, many systems require a slight delay after connection
but before a wakeup character is sent.
The argument is the number of seconds to delay before executing the next
script command. A DELAY 0 command is automatically generated as the first
line of the script when using the Record Login Script procedure.
Connection Settings
*******************
The Connection Settings Window has been broken into two windows with the
minimum required information on the basic screen and addtional options
accessed through the More button gadget. The More/Fewer options operate
just like described in the Network Settings portion of the manual.
PAP/CHAP User Authentication
****************************
Many systems offer(and some require) the use of automated user authentication
protocols. TermiteTCP offers support for PAP(User/Password Authentication
Protocol also known as UPAP) and the less common CHAP(Crytographic Handshake
Authentication Protocol).
To use PAP or CHAP, open the Connection settings Window and select More Options.
If using PAP, then enter your user name and password in the PAP UserName and
PAP/CHAP Password gadgets. CHAP only requires a password in the PAP/CHAP
Password gadget. Select Use to accept your entries.
To connect with PAP/CHAP all you need to do now is click on the Connect gadget
of the status window. No login script is required when using PAP or CHAP
(except possibly for a delay command after connect) and you do not have to
execute the Record Login Script procedure.
Verification Interval
*********************
This new option specifies the time interval that TermiteTCP will test your
ISP connection. After the specified number of minutes has elapsed, TermiteTCP
will test the connection. If the connection has failed for some reason(phone
line dropped, etc.), then TermiteTCP will automatically redial the phone and
reconnect to your ISP.
Tooltype support
****************
Support has been added for specifying configuration information via tooltypes
specified in the TermiteTCP program icon. To edit the tooltype settings,
click on the TermiteTCP icon and select Information from the WorkBench Icon menu.
The following Tooltypes are currently recognized:
AUTOCONNECT
TermiteTCP will automatically connect to your ISP when the program is
launched if this tooltype is set to TRUE.
AUTOICONIFY
TermiteTCP will automatically iconify to your WorkBenchconnect if
this tooltype is set to TRUE.
NULLMODEM
If this tool type is set to TRUE, it will supresses the warning message
if you attempt to connect with no phone number entered in the Connection
settings. This is useful if you are intentionally making a direct
serial connection to a local host via the serial port.

development on the Amiga Computer by stealing from those who seek to
