Tough Phones 4.05 -- San Antonio local phone directory RLW mods 28 Dec 91 for attendees, Telecommunications Seminar presented by The Fors at San Antonio, Texas - presently setup for ZComm, Hayes 2400b modem, VGA gas plasma screen; modem speeds in phone directory are set for 2400 bps and 1200 bps now. - you'll have to do your thing for 9600 + in setup and phone directory... :: :: :: -= A lean and mean platform for Pro-YAM and ZComm by Bob Willoughby =- :: :: (...leaner and meaner if you decide to eliminate the cribsheet...) :: :: :: This script is a plain ASCII text file, so you can edit or view it. It :: does require minor editing prior to use. If that idea gives you the :: willies, get started with Michael Ash's excellent PHOMAST.T script and :: come back to Tough Phones for other ideas later. Please go to the bottom :: of this file for additional remarks. :: :: Note: To use this 'tuf_fons.t' script be sure to include the DOS command :: 'set phones=[path]\tuf_fons.t' in your autoexec.bat file to tell YAM or :: ZComm where to find the script. :: :: Or you can do it the way I do. I do not use the DOS environment variable :: to define the name and location of the phone directory script - I find it :: easier or more direct to simply rename my YAM scripts 'phones.t' and my :: ZComm scripts 'phomast.t' because those are the names the two programs are :: looking for. Then when I install the SNP (serial number password), I use :: the install program to define the location of phones.t or phomast.t. :: Sorry, I'm old fashioned and a creature of habit -- and I suppose I am :: not environmentally sound, at least so far as DOS is concerned... :: :: I actively use both YAM and ZComm, so I put YAM into c:\yam and ZComm into :: c:\zcomm; and I use a subdirectory called \tmp in both of those program :: directories to store the log files that I have YAM and ZComm maintain. By :: the way, an unregistered copy of ZComm will not maintain logs. :: :: Don't be concerned with menu and function key differences between :: tuf_fons.t and phomast.t when you run them -- they differ because Mike :: and I have different approaches to telecommunications. That is an :: important point - Pro-YAM and ZComm let you assign your function keys to :: do whatever you want them to do, and it is surprisingly easy. So, one :: of the reasons this small script is tossed into the pot is to provide :: additional examples of script writing which you can plagiarize. :: :: The key thing to keep in mind about scripts is that they are quite :: dynamic. Times change, modems change, your phone directories change, :: and none of this stuff is locked in concrete. :: :: A comment about comments -- after you understand this script, all lines :: that begin with a double colon "::" may be deleted to save space and :: speed things up (...faster load time and less sifting for Pro-YAM or :: ZComm to do). Also, you can scrub the cribsheet menu when you no longer :: need that sort of quick reference crutch. Then you can use the F3 key :: for some other purpose. :: :: "Commenting out" a line is simply placing a colon at the beginning of the :: line so the comm program will not "read" that line in the script and do :: what it says to do. "Uncommenting" a line is just the opposite - it :: involves deleting the colon at the beginning of the line so the script :: can read the command(s) on that line and use them to run the program. :: :: Well, lets get on with the actual script that does the work... setup port 1 :for COM1 : port 2 :for COM2 ena -d :suppress the Carrier Lost msg during setup pv-1 :Verbose OFF (-1 shows none; 50 shows all) pa10000 :works fine with a 386DX at 20mhz set: : putw "ATE0X4V1 S7=20 S11=55 S0=0\r" :a typical modem setup string putw "AT&Y0\r" :set Hayes 2400b stored config profile 0 putw "AT E1 L0 M1 S7=25 S9=04 S10=10 S11=50 S25=3\r" :Hayes 2400b parms, RLW ::putw "AT E1 L0 M3 S9=07 S10=15 S11=55 S25=5\r" :Hayes 2400b parms, RLW ::M0 disable spkr ::M3 disable spkr when rcv carrier signal & while modem is dialing ::L0 or L1 low spkr volume : putw "AT L0 V1 X4\r" :set Hayes 2400 external modem, RLW : putw "AT V1\r" :set Hayes 1200 external modem, RLW pd1 : turn on time stamping pi40 : set redial for 40 seconds set mprefix ATDT : Tone Dial : set mprefix ATDT1170, : Tone Dial plus call wait defeat, San Antonio set l "1"; set m "1" set quitcmd \003\336off\r :press Alt-Q to set up auto log off :when a long file xfr is finished :: Note: I like the following color setup with EGA/VGA color monitors, :: so I just uncomment the color setup and the display warpdrive :: lines below as well as comment out the monochrome line when :: I use a VGA monitor.

Please see cribsheet for function keys :: used in this script as well as the function key assignments in setup. I :: do not use a routine to automatically create capture files when I log :: onto a system because I do not necessarily want a capture every time. I :: usually look first - if there are only three or four new messages that :: are of no interest and there are no new files that are interesting, I do :: not open a capture file for that particular comm session. On the other :: hand, if there are lots of msgs I have not read and/or new files that :: attract my attention, I will check my current capture files with Alt-F1 :: and enter the filename for the board I am logged onto (e.g. 'olde' for :: Olde Guard) to determine the last capture file number used; then I use :: Alt-F2 to start a new capture file with the next capture file number. :: For example, if the last filename for Olde Guard was olde.081, I hit :: Alt-F2 and then enter 'olde.082' to kick off the next capture file in :: the Olde Guard sequence with stripping of ascii/ansi characters (well, :: most of them) activated. Before I log off, I use Alt-F3 to close the :: current sesssion capture file. Naturally, the function key assignments :: I use are arbitrary - if you want to do capture files in this manner, the :: function key assignments and the labeling in the cribsheet are easily :: changed to fit your script. Mike Ash has a different approach in :: phomast.t to use autologon scripts and to create capture files :: automatically. This explanation is only provided to give an example of a :: different approach... with *you* in the driver's seat. :: :: REMARKS :: :: A few remarks about my Tough Phones Script, if you don't mind... heck, :: lets face it, if you've read this far, you're already hooked <smile>: :: :: I use a pared down version of Tough Phones every day that is a big, :: bad 100 or so lines and about 5,200 bytes long (I modify it all the :: time, so the size varies a little). Thats it -- all of it, the whole :: enchilada! It dispenses with the memory kicker Cheatsheet menu included :: with this script, all commenting was eliminated, and I even sent this :: philosophical remarks section (timeless prose though it is) to the :: big bit bin in the sky. All that remains in my little script is the :: setup section, a few function key assignments, and my phone directory -- :: it does not call any external subroutine scripts and like this Tough :: Phones Script, it has no automated features. And, it is FAST!! :: :: Incidentally, I would use automated logon subroutines if I had accounts :: with CompuServe or the other timesharing outfits. :: :: I have examined and written Pro-YAM and ZComm scripts for several :: years and I finally decided that all I really want a script to do is :: to fire up YAM with a few basic parameters and a phone directory. :: Then I just light YAM's afterburners and take manual control with :: YAM's rich command set. I get a lot of enjoyment out of direct :: interaction with YAM and ZComm because they are marvelously flexible -- :: I don't need or crave any more than that. So my trimmed down version :: of this Tough Phones Script serves my individual needs quite well. Yes, :: it is a Spartan approach to telecommunications, but that is the way I :: like it. If you want a little bedrock to use as a starting point for :: your more sophisticated script routines, be my guest. That is why :: I am making Tough Phones available. :: :: Please understand that Tough Phones is a purely personal working script :: -- it was not designed to teach script writing or to "cover all the :: bases" for beginners. If you want to kickstart YAM or ZComm and burn :: rubber right out of the blocks, you need to get things up and running :: with Michael Ash's excellent PHOMAST.T script which is distributed :: with Pro-YAM and ZComm or available separately as PHOMAST6.ZIP. :: :: Writing scripts is a lot of fun and it is very satisfying. Many examples :: are available in SCRIPTS.ZOO and DIALERS.ZIP which you can download from :: Chuck Forsberg's Telegodzilla - they are in the /scripts subdirectory. :: :: For more information, I strongly urge you to bite the bullet -- study :: the Professional YAM manual that is furnished when you register either :: Pro-YAM or ZComm. Or at least read the shareware ZCOMMDOC.ZIP file :: <..gasp..>! You have to come to grips with the manual if you really :: want to get the maximum benefit and power out of Pro-YAM or ZComm. Yeah, :: thats right... you *know* deep down inside that is what you have to do. :: :: In addition, you might want to subscribe to the Olde Guard (512-684-4470), :: a bulletin board system in San Antonio, Texas that is a hangout for :: several skillful Pro-YAM and ZComm users who enjoy swapping YAM yummies, :: helping each other solve problems, and telling tall tales about tele- :: communications ...<grin>. Have a good day... :: :: ...Bob :: ::++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thats All Folks! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++::
