- FOSLAUX<1/2> Revision 1.2
-
-
- FOSLAUX<1/2> is a device driver that is used in place of IBMAUX for either
- COM1 or COM2. It is a generic device driver that should work on any MS-DOS
- machine that has a FOSSIL style driver written for it. Basically this
- driver is used in place of the standard CTTY COMx the user would use
- CTTY GENAUXx to transfer control to the remote terminal. The advantage of
- using FOSLAUX is that ^C characters are not handled by DOS as break chars,
- so a remote user cannot break out of a batch file, output is directed to
- both the local monitor as well as the remote terminal, and input can be
- either from the local console or the remote terminal. This is useful for
- sysops so that they can see what is happening on their systems (especially
- if the disk drive light is blinking madly when a remote user is connected!).
-
- To use the driver it is necessary to have a FOSSIL style program loaded so
- that FOSSIL calls can be made. Then the FOSSIL program must be run to
- enable the driver. To use all of this stuff in a standard Opus type of
- batch file:
-
- OPUS OPUS -B%1
- IF ERRORLEVEL 50 GOTO DOSEXIT
- IF ERRORLEVEL 40 GOTO OUTSIDE
- GOTO END
- :DOSEXIT
- FOSSIL 1 ON +
- CTTY GENAUX1
- C:\COMMAND.COM
- CTTY CON
- FOSSIL 1 OFF
- GOTO END
- :OUTSIDE
- FOSSIL 1 ON +
- CTTY GENAUX1
- OUTER /1 128/V 20/L
- CTTY CON
- FOSSIL 1 OFF
- :END
