This manual provides some suggestions on using TeleShare with
other sofware. Normally it assumes that you can or have read
the other software's manual(s).
Whats covered here:
Using TeleShare with TELIX:
Using TeleShare with DSZ:
Using TeleShare with PCZ:
Using TeleShare with DIALER:
Using TeleShare with SCOMM:
Using TeleShare with NCOMM:
Using TeleShare with the WIZARD:
Using TeleShare with the RUNT:
Using TeleShare with GATHER:
Using TeleShare with AT and DTR:
Using TeleShare with HYDRACOM:
Using TeleShare with TELIX:
Telix is a very popular shareware communications package.
There are many other similar packages, but we will use Telix
for the example. You can use Telix normally with Teleshare.
Its a good idea to load the host TSH before you run Telix, but
TeleShare DOS Remote Access Page 2
the TELE.TXT shows simpler examples for just answering the
telephone. The remote TSR can be loaded either before or
after running Telix. Otherwise, just quit without hanging up
once any call or connection that includes Teleshare is
complete. Then start the Teleshare session.
Using TeleShare with DSZ:
DSZ is Omen's well known industry standard file transfer
tool. You should ensure the batch files are correct,
including the port, baud, and cache settings. Telefile
assumes that the file list will be in the FILES.UP file. DSZ
has many features, including the capability to transfer files
using direct connections. See its DSZ.TXT for more usage and
product payment information.
Using TeleShare with PCZ:
PCZ is a free file transfer tool that is a similar subset of
DSZ. You normally use it much like you would use DSZ. It
does not have direct connection capability.
Using TeleShare with DIALER:
Dialer is a very nice free small phone dialer that is included
in most TeleShare distributions. It was designed to work with
tools like DSZ. You need to check the TELEFILE.INI file and
any batch files to ensure that it is properly setup. Normally
TELEFILE will transparently use DIALER once the telefile.ini
is properly setup, so you do not need to know much more about
it. However, the DIALER.TXT is the best source for more
information.
Using TeleShare with SCOMM:
SCOMM is a free communications tools, akin to Telix but much
smaller dumber and simpler, that is included with some
TeleShare distributions. You can use SCOMM to dial and
maintain your phone number list. Use Telefile, XM, and
external protocols for file transfers. SCOMM has a nice
built-in editor called TWRP. It also has its own manual
SCOMM.TXT. SCOMM is a variant of Al Steven's smallcom program
from Doctor Dobb's Journal. The c language source for
smallcom is available on Compuserve.

Using TeleShare with NCOMM:
NCOMM is our name for Barry Nance's Byte Magazine
communications program. NCOMM is designed as a tsr or
resident program and is useful for background file transfers.
It will not remove itself from memory while a connection is
active, so you 'lose' about 50k while its active. Its c
language source is freely available on Compuserve.
Using TeleShare with the WIZARD:
The Wizard is a shareware program which will run any other
program, and make it appear to that program that a user is
typing commands at the keyboard. Actually the "typing" is
done automatically by the Wizard as specified in a script
file. The Wizard's scripts also allow it to monitor the
contents of the computer's screen and elapsed time and take
actions based on the screen contents and/or the time. These
capabilities help you quite a bit when you start to automate
file transfers and such matters. The Wizard should work with
any program that uses DOS or the BIOS for keyboard input, or
that uses the BIOS data area directly.
The normal Teleshare release will do the job now if you want
to do something like off site backups every night at 11PM.
However, when you find yourself repeating something quite a
bit, or a more complex backup process, you should explore
using the Wizard with Teleshare.
Using TeleShare with the RUNT:
The RUNT, or RUN Timer, is the P. C. Softsmith automatic
scheduler and maintenance tool. It allows you to run other
software at scheduled intervals (eg at night), and includes
passwords and a screen saver. There are a fair number of
things that can be basically automated so someone can dial in
for a short period and check or download the results.
An example:
# at 6:30PM echo the ATS0=0 command to the modem on com1
# this tells the modem to NEVER answer the phone.
18:30 ECHO ATS0=0 > COM1
# change the setting to answer on the second ring.
20:00 ECHO ATS0=2 > COM1
TeleShare DOS Remote Access Page 4
# other stuff
# Send the files listing in the FILES.UP file
# (This assumes another machine is setup to automatically
# dial up for downloading. )
21:30 XM S files.up
# reboot the machine
22:00 REBOOT
Using TeleShare with GATHER:
Gather is P.C. Softsmith's simple file manager. It is mostly
command line oriented, but can be run from Telemenu's menu
system. It can use the FILES.UP file generated by Telefile.
You can use gather to archive only the files changed in the
last day, or 3 days or whatever, as part of a RUNT schedule.
The archive file can then be backed up off site for additional
security. If you use PKZIP or similar technology the archive
file can be encrypted. You can COPY, ERASE, MOVE, and
TRANSFER files using gather. See the GATHER.TXT for more
information.
Using TeleShare with AT and DTR:
First, you might find more than one AT in a TeleShare
distribution, because various people have developed AT
utilities. The normal use of an AT is something like "AT
COM1: 454-3434" to dial the phone. We include an AT for a
simple dialer, but expect you to be more likely to use it with
other non-Teleshare applications.
