                          (Fill in REGISTER.ME)

  With TWIN LINE:- (And Other Commucation Software (ie BBS Software))
    You Can Get FAX, Voice & Data
    Friends can ring up and leave Messages/Files
    You can run A BBS 24hrs A Day (ie TWiN LiNE 6am-11pm, Front Door 11pm-6am)
    You can access the computer from a remote site
    ect..
   ALL ON THE ONE PHONE LINE!

  IF YOU ARE ALREADY RUNNING A BBS (Have A DATA & VOICE Line)
    You Will Be Able To Receive Voice/FAX Calls On The DATA Line (Data Callers
     Will Not Notice Any Difference!)
    You Can Run Another Line (On The VOICE Line).



─WHAT DO YOU NEED?───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────-

   1 A Computer/Monitor/keyboard/HDD
   2 A Modem/Cable/Power supply
   3 Commucation Software (Remote Access/Renegade ect..)
      NOTE: The Commucation software MUST exit back to DOS after the Carrier
            has Been Dropped/User Logs Off.
   4 1 Phone Line

─What Does Twin Line DO?─────────────────────────────────────────────────────-
 In RingSignal=MODEM Mode
  TWiN LiNE Waits For The Ring Signal, Then Waits For The Caller To CALL BACK.
   After He/She Calls Back And CONNECTS, Twin Line Runs The Commucation
   Program (BBS Software, Message Software..ect).
  If There Is No Ring Signal Then TWiN LiNE Just Waits For A Human (Or
   Anything) To Answer The Phone.

 In RingSignal=VOICE Mode
  The Reverse Of The Above..
   If No Ring Signal Is Given Then The Modem Will Answer the Phone.
   If A Ring Signal Is Given Then TWiN LiNE Waits For Them To Ring Back Then
    Waits For A Human To Answer The Phone.

─Using A Mailer??────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────-
  Please Read TLSWITCH.TXT About Using A Mailer


─SETUP───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────-
  Copy/Move Twin Line into the same directory as the comm. software.
   RUN SETUP.EXE
     Press 1 for Com Port And BBS SETUP
      Move Cursor With ARROW Keys
              COM PORT: The Com Port the Modem is connected to.
       Top Modem Speed: The Highest DTE Rate The MODEM Can Handle
           Locked port: Yes/No
           BBS Command: The Command to Load The Commucation SoftWare
     Local BBS Command: The Command To Load Commucation Software in Local Mode
     Modem Init String: Please Read/Setup MODEM.INT
      Press ESC When Finshed

      Press 2 to change MISC variables
     Off Hook in Maint: Go Off Hook While Running ONCEADAY.BAT
          Screen Saver: Number Of Seconds Before Screen is Blanked (0=Off)
           Ring Signal: Max Number Of Rings For A Ring Signal
     Ring Back Timeout: Number Of Seconds Caller Has To Ring Back
         Min Ring Size: MIN Number Of Seconds Per 'RING' *See Below*
         Max Ring Size: MAX Number Of Seconds Per 'RING' *See Below*

      Press ESC When Finshed
      Press ESC To Exit Back To DOS


         Select MIN Number of Seconds Between FULL RINGS. Rings That Are
          Less than this time will be ignored. (This Gets Rid of any
          Half Rings. Making it Easier to give Ring Signals). For
          Australia its About 2.5 Seconds. (I Use 2.3)
         Select MAX Number of Seconds Between FULL RINGS. Once Over
          This Value TWiN LiNE Will Think The PHONE HAS STOPPED RINGING.
          For Australia Its About 4 Seconds. (I Use 4)
