Quick Help:
Alt-d => Dial a number
Alt-e => Echo characters
Alt-g => Capture screen
Alt-h => Hangup phone
Alt-k => Script invocation
Alt-p => Change port parms
Alt-x => Exit
The terminal mode is really a window
that you can "pop" up on the screen
that will act like a "dumb" terminal.
Characters recieved during terminal
mode while the terminal window is
not up are saved in a internal
buffer. So, when you call up the
terminal window you will see the
characters recieved since you last
looked at the terminal window.
While in terminal mode you may start
a file transfer by pressing the
PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN keys for sending
or receiving.
Press the Alt-X key combination to
exit the terminal mode.
Press the Alt-G key combination to
capture a copy of the terminal screen
to a BACKDOOR.SCR file.
Press the Alt-P key combination to
change the current port or its
parameters (baudrate, parity, etc.).
To have Backdoor "echo" characters
as they are typed in, press Alt-E
combination.
To dial out press the Alt-D
combination and enter the telephone
number to dial, or on a Hayes
compatible modem type ATDXXXXXXX
where X is the telephone number.
To hangup and exit the terminal
into modem mode, press Alt-H.
Alt-k is used to start a script
file up. Type in the full name
of the script file including
extension. To abort or exit a
script file press the ESC key.
Script file commands is described
in the documentation.
