- "Using FAXCTRL with ProComm Plus"
- ~02
-
-
-
- ProComm, Copyright 1987-89 by Datastorm Technolgies, Inc. is a popular
- shareware terminal program. Included with this package is a new script file
- which will automatically return to FAXCTRL after any number of seconds you wish,
- if FAXCTRL is triggered accidentally.
-
-
-
-
- We do not intend to give a tutorial on how to use, setup, or operate the
- HOST mode under ProComm. We believe that the author(s) did that very well in the
- instructions provided with ProComm. Therefore, we will only demonstrate how to
- interface FAXCTRL with ProComm's HOST mode.

- The Steps
- ~02
- (1)·Edit the file FAXHOST.BAT so that the line:
- : PCPLUS /FFAXHOST
- is active. That is, remove the leading ": "
- PCPLUS /FFAXHOST
-
- (2)·Make sure that the script file provided, FAXHOST.ASP, is where ProComm
- can find it. The best place is usually in the directory with your other script,
- .ASP, files.
-
- (3)·Optionally, you can adjust the number, 1250, in the FAXHOST.ASP file, to
- accomodate a waiting period as long or as short as you want. The formula is
- approximately 42 times the number of seconds you want the wait to be
-
- (4)·Follow the FAXCTRL documentation to login to your host system.
-
- (5)·When you're ready to logoff, use the [A]bort Command NOT the [G]oodbye
- command.

- The OLD Script File
- ~02
- You can still use the old FAXHOST.ASP file if you don't feel the need of the
- automatic return to FAXCTRL. The old FAXHOST.ASP file looked like this: ~03
- ;FAXHOST.ASP
- HOST
- QUIT
- ~07
- Notes on the new script file
- ~02
- The new script file with the automatic return to FAXCTRL might startle you
- the first time you use it. You'll notice that the HOST mode isn't actually
- invoked until carrier is detected, in other words after you call back and
- ProComm sees you connect it invokes the HOST mode. The peculiar feature is that
- when the host mode does being the host computer will beep and ask "Hangup Line
- [Y/N]?". Two additional beeps will sound attempting to get an operator response.
- However there is no need for an operator response because the default is NOT to
- hangup the line and enter the host mode. We suggest that at call back, you
- simply wait for the HOST message, and the prompt "First Name" before typing
- anything. There will be a slight delay while the host computer beeps and waits.
