- to ProComm version 2.3.
-
-
- CHANGES AND ADDITIONS
-
- 1) Command files may now be linked to a dialing
- directory entry. Specify the command file to
- use when entering or revising dial dir entries.
- If a command file is present the redial
- procedure will be used to dial. On CONNECT
- control is passed to the command file. When
- using the call (%C) script command, command
- files linked to the called entry are ignored.
-
- 2) A host mode has been implemented. 4 parameters
- that control the host mode are setable via host
- mode setup in the setup screen: modem
- auto answer string, host id string, access
- password and shell password. Host mode
- features: password protected, remote directory,
- file transfers, DOS shell (don't use direct
- screen writing programs!), goodbye. Press
- ALT-Q to activate host mode.
-
- 3) A chat mode has been implemented. It is a
- simple split screen, with incoming stuff at the
- top and local stuff at the bottom. Note that
- if you are talking to a full duplex system
- local text will be displayed twice. Press
- ALT-O to chat.
-
- 4) There is now an additional key stroke for
- sending breaks: ALT-F7. Use this if the
- CTRL-BREAK sequence locks up your non-IBM
- computer.
-
- 5) Added Kermit server commands SEND and GET.
-
- 6) Large expansion of the ASCII file transfer
- configurations available.
-
- 7) The file viewing facility has been improved.
-
- 8) Added an answerback facility. If set on,
- ProComm will answer an ENQ (^E) with the
- contents of keyboard macro ALT-0. Disabled
- in ANSI-BBS mode.
