Yes I know what your saying "Another Modem program?". Yes this is
"another" one, but this program's biggest purpose is to remain small.
The present version (1.0) is about 8k and has the following features.
Configuration:
If P2Comm.exe is not in the present directory, then you will not be
able to change the configuration. P2Comm must be able to write the
new values back to itself.
The program contains 5 dialing setups that may be changed by you.
Each entry includes the phone number, baud rate and an 8 bit or 7 bit
mode.
The phone number should be preceded with a "T" for touch tone
dialing.
The 7 bit option is not to be confused with the usual 7 bit serial
mode. This option is used to strip the 8th bit when calling systems
that send the 8th bit high as Compuserve does.
Presently the program can be configured for either Com1 or com2 and
the modem init commands may be altered.
You may leave out the phone number in a dialing entry and when you
select it you will be asked to enter a number.
This program does not like the ansi codes. If your Compuserve setup
is set for VT100 or some other ansi mode, you will need to enter your
PPN followed with a ;tty to force the teletype or standard ascii mode.
On Line Commands:
Alt-F10, Help, shows a list of these commands.
Alt-A, Ascii file send, You will be asked for a file name.
Alt-C, Chat mode, splits the screen for easy conferencing.
Alt-D, Drop to DOS, Use the DOS command "EXIT" to return to P2Comm.
P2Comm looks for "Comspec=" if not found then it assumes that
"Command.com" is in the present directory.
If you change directories or disk drives while in the DOS
shell, P2Comm will assume these new settings as the default.
Alt-H, Hang up the phone line.
Alt L, Toggle the Log On and Off. With the Log On all incomming data
will be added to the P2Comm.LOG file in the present directory.
If the maximum capacity of the capture buffer which is 64000
bytes is exceeded, the data will be saved and the log will be
closed. If you wish to capture more, simply turn it on again.
If you shell to DOS, the log will be closed and you will have
to open it again when you return to P2Comm.
The log will be closed during Xmodem transfers but will re-
open after the transfer is done.
Also keep in mind that if you change directories when you
drop to DOS, the log will be saved in whatever directory that
you are presently in.
PgUp, Start Xmodem Upload. Esc to abort.
PgDn Start Xmodem Download. Esc to abort.
I'm wide open to constructive criticism and would appreciate any
suggestions that you may have. I do know that it would be nice to be
able to modify the ascii send speed and support more comm ports but
ideas like adding more transfer protocols would make the program much
bigger and defeat it's purpose. -BobH-
