-
- First of all if you want to test or download the newest Terminate, the ISDN
- number for DAN BBS is +45-43661070.
-
- Terminate offers you control and information on the ISDN fossil driver.
- However, only cFos currently supports the ISDN appendage since it is
- special calls developed by the authors of cFos. The coordination between
- cFos and Terminate has been tested by the authors of cFos and together we
- managed to boost the performance to the max. Thanks to Chris Lueders and
- Martin Winkler for their help on Terminate.
-
- The following menu will be displayed on Alt-M, I or Ctrl-End and can be
- accessed both when you are online or offline.

- cFos - ISDN MultiPort FOSSIL Driver for DOS
-
- Keys: Cursor Up Add a B-channel
- Cursor Down Remove a B-channel
- T Synchronize your machine with ISDN time
- S Statusline control. The status will be displayed
- in line 1 while in this menu and while
- transfering files. Disable it if you do not want
- Terminate to change the statusline. This is only
- available with cFos versions > 1.05.
- R Reset cFos (hangup)
-
-
- cFos is a FOSSIL driver for DOS, so any application with FOSSIL support
- (e.g. Terminate) can use it. cFos emulates a modem with AT commands and
- "translates" these commands to the CAPI 1.1 standard, Profil A compliant
- calls for the CAPI (Common-ISDN-API), a standard supported by most ISDN
- boards. Using this technique, it's easy to use standard software with ISDN
- and archive high transfer rates (7500 cps and more).
-
- cFos is a TSR driver and has lots of features and fine-tuning options. For
- instance, it offers dynamic B-channel bundling, can time-sync the computer
- with date/time info from the ISDN network, has a big status bar informing
- you about what is going on on the ISDN line and much more...
-
- To install cFos in memory before loading Terminate and unloading the driver
- after exiting, you could use the following:
-
- ISDN.BAT Sendbuffer
- Rcvbuf | aux port (for bundling)
- | | |
- cFos i -c1 -r4k -t6k -a0 <- -c0=COM1, -c1=COM2 etc.
- Terminat /Device:6 <- Run Terminate with ISDN device
- cFos d <- Remove fossil driver
-
- As an example you could use the following setup:
-
- Statusline
- Factory | Listen Disconnect after 2 minutes if no activity
- | | | |
- Setup: AT &F &D2 &L* &E0 S10.3=1 S19=2 X6^M
-
- Dial: AT&B1&M0D Dial using 1 B-channel
- Dial: AT&B2&M0D Dial trying to connect with 2 B-channels
-
- If you dial out with 2 B-channels and only one B-channel is free you will
- still get connected with 1 B-channel. Then you can run the Alt-M, I menu
- and increase the number of B-channels as soon as the other line gets free.
- However, remember that you will of course be charged twice the cost when
- using twice the speed.
-
- To automatic bundle channels when using a REGISTERED cFos:
-
- Init: AT &B2 &M1 S64=5000 S65=7000^M
-
- This will make cFos bundle an extra channel when getting above 7000 CPS per
- channel and disconnect when dropping below 5000 CPS. In other words: If you
- are running a 7500 CPS connection, a new channel will be added, if the CPS
- rate falls to under 12000 CPS, it will be disconnected.
-
- NOTE that CAPI bundling is NOT the same as cFos Channel Bundling and there
- is no reason to load BUNDLE.EXE for bundling. If you are using the TelesS0
- cards REMark the BUNDLE.EXE in DOS (STARTS0.BAT) or the Bundling under the
- OS/2 CAPI setup and simply use the instructions above.
- -a0 and &B2 is really all it takes.
-
- Terminate was tested with two Teles cards and we had no problems getting
- CPS rates of 15000+ using 2 B-channels and even higher using 3 or 4
- channels. IMPORTANT is to press I to toggle "Info off" while uploading,
- since the screenwrites use up a lot of interrupts. With a 386-33 machine,
- you should have no problems sending with 15000 CPS.
-
- We have successfully tested Terminate under DOS, OS/2, Windows (and Win95)
- using channel bundling and 15000 CPS. We even tested various combinations
- DOS->OS/2, DOS->Win95, OS/2->DOS, OS/2->Win95, Win95->DOS, Win95->DOS,
- always successfully.
-
- For more information read the cFos documentation.
-
- ISDN calls to normal modems are not possible without special ISDN hardware
- that can emulate modems. This is how it is supposed to work.
