- Anyone using a DATACALL.GPF script should not a revised script below.
- This should help to eliminate any problems.
-
- I will be posting information about how to get GETTY (and other interfaces)
- working soon.

-
- First of all, if GPFax answers the phone for you, it will be set to 19200
- baud. This is because the FAX standard defines that as the baud rate to
- use. Since the connection is already established, you must keep talking
- to the modem at 19200.
-
- A typical datacall.gpf script would look like:
- ---------------------------------------------------------
- /* $VER: DataCall.GPF 0.02 (2.11.92) rsc
- * this script will start a GETTY on receipt of a DATA call
- */
- options results
- address rexx_gpfax
- baudrate
- baud = result
- address command 'uucp:c/getty <nil: >nil:' "-B"baud "-Md" "-A" "-h0" "-c0"
- /* if you are running a LOCKBAUD modem, then use the following command */
- /* address command 'uucp:c/getty <nil: >nil:' "-B19200" "-Md" "-A" "-h0" "-c0"
- -----------------------------------------------------------
-
- Now, the other way to do things is to get GETTY to answer the phone at
- whatever baudrate you want. Then use the GPFax RECEIVENOW ARexx command to
- start receiving a FAX. (This is using the FAXGETTY)
-
- Procedure (roughly):
- ---------- a script to start the system running -----------------
- cd GPFAX:
- run GPFAX -Q -S -NP ; -S if getty or other program wont allow SHARED mode
- ; -NP no printer driver (optional)
- ; -Q for quiet (optional)
- ; -L is not required as it only applies to DATA
- waitforport "REXX_GPFAX" ; makesure GPFax is ready
- rx "address rexx_gpfax UNLISTEN" ; if -S was not specified
- run uucp:c/getty <with your parameters>
-
- ; now your uulib:passwd file should contain the standard entry for FAX and
- ; run a script which looks like the following:
-
- rx "address rexx_gpfax OPENSERIAL"
- rx "address rexx_gpfax LISTEN"
- ; the above two lines are required, as GPFax will try to INIT the modem
- ; at the RECEIVENOW phase (if running -S)
- rx "address rexx_gpfax RECEIVENOW"
- ; after returning from a RECEIVENOW command, fax in in UNLITEN mode
- rx "address rexx_gpfax CLOSESERIAL" ; (optional) depends on whether you
- ; had it this way to start with.
-
- the last command will depend on whether you want to actually
- close the serial device. Closing the serial device is recommended to
- help the disconnect. (Dropping DTR should cause a hangup).
-
- If you have any problems send we mail and I will try to help.
-
- I will start a mailing list too, so can people please send mail to
- fax-info@vogue.adsp.sub.org and I will add your name to a mailing list.
-
- Specify in the subject line, your areas of interest.
- eg: GETTY, UPGRADES, VOICE, MODEM TYPE, SUGGESTIONS, anything else...
-
- Keep messages small. If you have files to uuencode and send, I would
- prefer you sent those to rc@splat.aarnet.edu.au (internet connected)
- but I read that only about once a week (this will be more often soon).
