- REMOTE AUX: Support Steve Drew
- -------------------
-
- Here are some utilities I wrote to enchance and support,
- remote AUX: logins.
-
-
- I Files included
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- sd_aux_handler
- mountlist.aux
-
- Version 1.5
- - minor bug fixes.
- - Multi line support (define multiple AUX's)
-
- Version 1.2
- - Supports AZ Zmodem program (see below)
- - ^R key (retype current line)
- - Better typeahead handling. Typing a
- command while the display is active, does
- not stop the current output, instead it is
- buffered and printed after the next CLI
- prompt. (Like VMS). To stop the current
- output just use standard XON, XOFF. This
- is much better when over the modem as with
- the 1.3 aux: handler any line noise would
- stop the current output until ^X or <CR>
- was entered.
- - When the typeahead buffer is full AUX:
- sends a BELL back to the user.
- - Support to 'kill off' a AUX: CLI process
- via the 'ECHO >AUX:ENDCLI' command from
- another CLI window.
- - Prevents multiple 'NEWCLI AUX:' commands.
- - Suspends input/output on loss of carrier.
-
- The mountlist file needs to be inserted into your
- DEVS:mountlist file. Make sure to remove the
- definition of the commodore AUX: handler from your
- mountlist if you are planning to use mine.
-
-
- II Installation instructions
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- 1. Unpack all files into a directory:
-
- 2. Add to your startup-sequence (user-startup)
-
- Assign Rem: dev:directory
-
- Execute Rem:Remote-Startup
-
-
- III Notes
- ~~~~~
-
- - REMOTELY Stopping an AUX: Process
-
- Once a CLI is running on the AUX: port, you can remotely
- cause the CLI to 'ENDCLI' by issuing the following command:
- ECHO >AUX:ENDCLI , from another CLI window.
-
- The sd-aux-handler detects a file open request for
- 'AUX:ENDCLI' and imediatley causes an ENDCLI command to be
- sent to the current reader of the AUX: device. Note: This
- does not work with the 1.3 AUX: handler, and will not work
- if the CLI running on the AUX: is currently running a
- program, ie not at the cli or shell prompt.
