- MODEM STATS v1.01
-
- Rewritten for Supra modems by Simon Slater

- e-mail coole@compura.com
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- MODEM STATS is a re-written STGEN for Supra Modems.
-
- MODEM STATS consists of a single DOS EXE file, called via a batch file
- with passed parameters and/or environment variables.
-
- Command line options for MODSTATS.EXE are as follows, all options are
- required, except the last three.
-
- Usage:
-
- MODSTATS <port> <irq> <node> <esc char> <fossil> </NOXMIT>
-
- port: COM port 1-4, FOSSIL port #, or non-standard base address.
-
- irq: 0=default, or 1-15. Not used in FOSSIL mode, set to 0.
-
- node: Current BBS node #, or 0 if single-node system.
-
- esc char: 0-127, Value of the modem's S2 register, used to put the modem
- into command mode. If = 256, then modem uses &D1 setting, and
- the door will toggle DTR to enter command mode.
-
- fossil: 0=no FOSSIL, 1=use FOSSIL
-
- /NOXMIT: OPTIONAL; This will reverse the operation of the software from a BBS
- DOOR to a mode that can be used with any comm program. This option
- prevents the software from trying to display anything out the
- modem port. Use this ONLY when calling from a comm program, do
- NOT use this option when running as a BBS DOOR!
-
- MODTMP: environment variable, path for report file
-
- ie
-
- SET MODTMP=E:\RA\TXTFILES
-
- Filename for report file is modemrpt.asc
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SETUP EXAMPLE:
-
- Here is an example of the DOOR batch file used for testing on my PCBoard
- system. This batch file is hard-coded for COM2, IRQ3, node 1,
- DTR switching, FOSSIL enabled.
-
- You obviously need to change all of this for your own system and setup, making
- use of environment variables and/or passed parameters where needed.
- (Like the node number on multi-node systems.)
-
- REM ------------------------------
- REM TEST BATCH FILE FOR STGEN DOOR
- REM ------------------------------
- SET MODTMP=E:\RA\TXTFILES\
- MODSTATS 2 3 1 43 1
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Using MODSTATS.EXE with RemoteAccess
-
- This is an example of my system. your may slightly differ by most BBS software
- should be able to adapt this program for use with other BBS software.
-
- 1. Put the All the files into your RA directory.
-
- 2. make a entry in your menu where you want to called MODSTATS from.
-
- like so..

- Well thats about it..

- NOTE to Other Rockwell users.
-
- MODSTATS is purely for Supra Modems due to the commands given by the

-
- If there is any commands that you need changed or added please netmail me

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- My thanks go to all users that tested this program to the full on my BBS.
-
- Also many thanks to the author of:
-
- STGEN V1.08 - 12/30/95
- Written by Joseph C. Frankiewicz
- The Majestik Moose BBS 708-843-2871
- Released to the public domain.
- and the STGEN.BAS file!!!!
-
- STGEN is a generic "Door" version of USRSTATS that should work with
- *or without* a FOSSIL driver, with DTR *or escape character* switching,
- at speeds up to 115.2K, under virtually any BBS *OR COMM* package,
- automatically multi-node-aware.
-
- And also the really nice ansi creator MODSTANS created by Hans A. Mahal
- Thanks Hans!
