- I have a need to do remote control of an A310 over a serial modem link
- and I'm wondering what software there may be that does this?
-
- I can do some of what I want just by getting the remote user to type in
- *FX3,5 *FX2,1 but this has many problems especially if you want to go
- back to the desktop and resume Hearsay for zmodem ftp. In my case the
- user at the other end gets confused with instructions longer than
- "Press f12 and type *FX2,1" and automating procedures over the wire is
- very difficult.
-
- I'm currently trying to write some Cscript code to allow Hearsay to
- send OS commands to the CLI but I'm having trouble with that because I
- don't have enough knowledge of how Hearsay's Cscript routines get
- invoked whilst Hearsay is running. Any wizards out there with
- experience? (I don't want to pester David Pilling unless I have to,
- and I don't expect I'll get a reply from Risc Developments this side of
- Christmas).
-
- Ideally what I want is a program that can be invoked on the remote A310
- which can send all serial port data to the CLI and invoke zmodem or
- other ftp from the command line.
