- Terminal/2 1.0 (c) 1992 Mikael Wahlgren
- ==============================================================================
-
- Terminal/2 is a terminal program for OS/2 Presentation Manager. This program
- is working demonstration program, which you may re-distribute without any
- restrictions, as long as you don't modify it. This demonstration version has
- the following limitations:
-
- * Zmodem file transfer does does not work.
- * Only ANSI emulation.
- * Does not work with named pipes.
- * Does not support baudrates higher than 19200 (except if the COM-driver
- support it).
-
- If you plan to use this program on regular basis, you must register the
- program (see instructions in the included ORDER.DOC form).
-
- The program is developed with Os2You (a remote access program for OS/2) in
- mind and is included without any additional charge, when registering Os2You.
- Some of the features:
-
- * Terminal/2 can work with asynchronous devices, but also with Named
- Pipes, accross a network.
-
- * Terminal/2 supports baudrates between 300 and 115200 baud.
-
- * Terminal/2 supports screen sizes between 1 and 255 rows.
-
- * Terminal/2 emulates an ANSI color terminal.
-
- * Terminal/2 has a simple scripting capability.
-
- * Terminal/2 is designed for Hayes compatible modems, but can work with any
- modem, with some limitations.
-
- * Terminal/2 has built in Xmodem, Xmodem/1K, YModem-Batch and Ymodem-G Batch
- file transfer protocols. In addition to this, an external Zmodem protocol
- can be used with auto Zmodem up/download capability (M2Zmodem, another
- program from the same source).
-
- * Terminal/2 can be used with USA, Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian character
- sets.

- Phonebook
- =========
- The phonebook is a list of different connections types you define. The
- following entries are available in the phonebook:
-
- Name Name of the entry
-
- Phone number Phone number to dial. This entry is optional, and if
- if no phone number is specified, the program will just
- open the communication device, but not dial.
-
- If a phone number is specified, the program will dial
- the phone number (using Hayes command set), and if
- the number is busy, redial the number until the
- connection is established (or cancelled).
-
- User id This entry is only valid for Os2You users, and
- specifies the login name. This entry is optional,
- and if you don't specify user id, you will be prompted
- for it when connection is made.
-
- Password This entry is only valid for Os2You users, and
- specifies the login password. This entry is optional,
- and if you don't specify password, you will be promted
- for it when connection is made.
-
- Device This entry specifies which device (port) to use for
- communication. By clicking on the down-array to the
- right, you will get a list of some devices. You can
- also type in any other device name directly.
-
- Scriptfile This entry specifies a script file to be loaded, when
- a call is successfully completed.
-
- Baudrate Selects a communication speed between 300 and 115200.
- Some high speeds may require special attention. See
- the installation instructions.
-
- Databits/Parity/ Specifies how may Databits and stopbits to use, and
- Stopbits what parity. A common configuration is 8 databits
- no parity and 1 stopbit.
-
- Handshaking Specifies what handshaking signals to use. Cts/Rts
- is recommended in most cases.
-
- Rows Specifies how many screen rows to use for the terminal
- session. This may vary between 1 and 255.
-
- Emulation This entry specifies what type of terminal emulation
- to use. For connection with Os2You, you should select
- Os2You emulation, for anything else, you should select
- ANSI.
-
-
-
- File Transfer
- =============
- Terminal/2 includes the Xmodem, Xmodem/1K, Ymodem-Batch and Ymodem-G Batch
- file transfer protocols. Xmodem is the least efficient, Ymodem-G Batch the
- most efficient protocol, but requires error free connections.
-
- To initiate a file transfer, you should select "Receive using..." or
- "Send using...". The "Send to host" and "Receive from host" are used for
- use with Os2You only.
-
- The file transfer menu has a settings option. The following settings are
- available:
-
- Download path Specifies in which directory downloaded (received)
- files should be placed. This entry may be left
- empty, in which case the file will be placed in the
- default working directory.
-
- Existing files Specifies what to do if a file to be received already
- exists in the download directory. Files may either
- be Renamed (by altering the last character in the
- file name), Resumed (overwritten by the received file
- using Xmodem/Ymodem or appended using Zmodem) or
- Rejected (file transfer cancelled with Xmodem/Ymodem).
-
- Carrier detect Specifies if file transfers should be aborted if
- carrier isn't present.
-
-
-
-
- Special
- =======
- Print Screen, copies the current terminal screen to the printer device (or
- file, specified in the settings dialog).
-
- The settings dialog has the following entries:
-
- Printer device Specifies to which device printer output should
- be directed. This may also be a file name, in
- which case the printer output will be put into the
- file. The printer output device is used for the
- "Print Screen" choice and Os2You remote printing.
-
- Character set This entry specifies which character set to use.
- Most countries should use the USA setting, but in
- some cases you may want to select another character
- set. Currently there are support for Sweden, Finland,
- Norway and USA. To use the Norwegian character set,
- you should first change code page to 850 (CHCP 850)
- if this is not the default code page.
-
- Alarm time This setting specifies for how long the internal
- speaker should produce noise, when a connection is
- successful. By setting this to 0, you will avoid
- the noise altogether.
-
- HW buffering This box should almost always be marked (on). If
- set to on, extended hardware buffering available
- on some computers, is used if available. Deselecting
- this check box. You may consider to deselect this
- check box, if you are using low speed modems (2400
- baud and below), and you find it irritating that
- characters are displayed unregulary.
-
-
-
-

- QUIT "xxxxx"
- INITIAL "xxxxx"
- EXIT
-
- RESPOND Each time the string "xxxxx" is received "yyyyy"
- is sent as response
-
- DELAYES RESPOND Each time the string "xxxxx" is received "yyyyy"
- is sent after "zzz" seconds delay (zzz is a decimal
- value)
-
- QUIT When "xxxxx" is received the script file is termina-
- ted.
-
- INITIAL When scripting begins the "xxxxx" string is sent.
-
-
- The following characters are treated specially:
-
- ^ Sends a CR (Enter)
- ~ One seconds delay

- By registering you will get the following benefits:
-
- You will get a diskette with the most recent version of Terminal/2.
- You will get Zmodem file transfer, and all Os2You functions working.
- You will be able to run Terminal/2 with 38400, 57600 and 115200 bauds.
- You will be treated as registered user for all future release.
- You can sleep at the night without having your conscience haunt you.
-
- If you use the program on a regular basis, or in commercial use, you must
