1 INTRODUCTION
TeleShare/DOS allows you to run character mode DOS programs on
a remote machine from the computer attached to your keyboard.
The remote PC may be anywhere that you can setup a compatible
telephone and modem link. Teleshare is designed to fit into
your work instead of adding a whole new interface and new set
of work rules. This means that the Teleshare toolset is very
modular and changeable to meet your specific needs. TeleShare
also allows you to copy files in either or both directions
with Xmodem, and also allows you to use any number of external
protocols. We have background and simultaneous two way
utilities freely available. TeleShare is designed to provide
reliable most common denominator service; that is the mix of
capabilities to get most jobs done, with the option to add
'frills' as needed. It has a particular fit to some areas
that more well known products avoid. Particularly,
TeleShare/Host is smaller than most of the competition with
less reliance on advanced versions of DOS or Windows. It
takes about 8K itself, plus 6 to 8 for screens, without the
need for newer versions of DOS and LOADHIGH. This makes it
more suitable for modern memory hungry database, spreadsheet,
and word processing software that uses most of the available
lower 640K DOS memory and wants to use big chunks of higher,
over 640K, memory. Note that protected mode software like
MSWindows and dBase IV 2.0 do not run under the TeleShare
host/remote. TeleShare is designed for real character mode
DOS programs. You may also notice that timing sensitive
software like chkdsk, format, and running under MSWindows may
act 'quirky', because the Host/Remote resident software is
actually high speed multi-tasking and timing conflicts can
arise. Please avoid 'compressing' your hard drive and similar
timing sensitive activity while running Teleshare. If you do
such things remotely set them up in a batch file that shuts
down Teleshare, then restarts it afterward. You will often
notice such issues when you try to access a floppy drive while
Teleshare is resident. The tutorial/demo shows the Host and
Remote running under MSWindows at up to 38400 'baud', but more
reliably at 19200.
TeleShare fits Home/Business and Travel/Business needs with
its ability to get along with existing software and get the
job done. Most modems are sold with communications software,
TeleShare DOS Remote Access Page 3
and most such software has an "Escape or Shell to DOS"
function that will let you add-in, or share with, TeleShare.
You can setup, dial, and generally use your familiar existing
software and additionally or switch to TeleShare as needed.
You can even use TeleShare to make toll/billable business
calls on a two modem office PC while at home. We use it to
run Compuserve access software on the second PC from the
first. As you grow into it, you will likely discard chunks
and possibly add other software to develop something that fits
what YOU need. You can extensively customise TeleShare to the
point of making it basically invisible to your normal work if
you like.
Please see the REGISTER.TXT for product registration
information.
2 What you need to use TeleShare
- DOS 3.1 or higher
Communications hardware
- At least 1 standard PC serial port in both the HOST and
REMOTE computers.
- 1 auto-answer async modem for HOST.
- 1 async modem for REMOTE.
- ( Or ) Standard null-modem connection between the
computers.
- To use the modem sharing option you need at least 2 serial
ports and/or 2 standard modems on the HOST PC (modem sharing
means calling a second PC, then making calls from it). You
may also use a direct connection from one PC to another with a
modem to run the modem on the second machine. However, the
ANSI screen codes transmitted from a BBS on the third machine
are incorrectly filtered to both local machines. You may or
may not find the results usable depending on your needs.
The main remote control programs, TSH (TeleShare Host) and TSR
(TeleShare Remote) are described in this manual along with
general features the the remote menu. Other portions are
distributed with separate sub-manuals for faster specific
on-line access. This scheme allows for modular additions to
TeleShare DOS Remote Access Page 4
TeleShare or modularly adding TeleShare to other software
distributions. If you use or distribute a particular software
package that could benefit from including TeleShare go ahead
and do so. The basic package is small, non-intrusive, and
easily modified by adding other software for specific
purposes.
3 Basic Installation and Setup
Once TeleShare is installed on your computer system, make sure
the current directory (eg TELE) contains the TeleShare files
and run the TsSETUP.EXE setup program. Context sensitive help
for every setting is displayed on th
