- DESCRIPTION
-
- HOST-III and HOSTCALL are programs which give your IBM-PC the ability to
- engage in unattended telecommunications. HOST-III will answer an incoming
- telephone call and exchange files based on the commands of the calling
- computer. The calling computer may or may not be an IBM-PC. HOSTCALL will
- initiate a telephone call to a host computer (such as an IBM-PC running
- HOST-III) and exchange files based on the commands in what is called a COMMAND
- FILE. The host computer may or may not be an IBM-PC. The COMMAND FILE is
- created by you, and contains the information that HOSTCALL needs, such as the
- time to call a host system, the telephone number and the names of the files to
- exchange. A single COMMAND FILE can sequentially access a number of host
- computers. Both programs support the XMODEM protocol of file transmission.
