- USING TELEMATE WITH EXTERNAL HS/LINK
-
-
- Installation:
-
- Please refer to the TELEMATE manual for detailed information on
- installation of external protocols. The following installation
- steps should work for most folks:
-
- Copy the provided HS-D.BAT and HS-U.BAT files, as well as
- HSLINK.EXE into your TELEMATE directory, or into a directory
- included in your search PATH.
-
- You can edit HS-D.BAT and HS-U.BAT to include options on the HSLINK
- command line, but most folks won't need to change anything. If you
- want to experiment, there are a number of optional parameters you
- can read about in HSLINK.DOC and HSLINK.NEW. The first thing you
- might want to do is add a -Udrive:\path statement to direct your
- downloads to your download directory, instead of having them placed
- into the current directory.
-
- Next you need to install the HS/LINK protocol into the TELEMATE
- protocol menu.
-
- Load up TELEMATE and press ALT-O to get into the OPTIONS menu. Then
- cursor down to the PROTOCOLS selection and press ENTER. In this
- screen, you tab down to the EXTERNAL PROTOCOLS section.
-
- The default TELEMATE configuration defines all available external
- protocols, so you will need to replace one of them with HS/Link.
- The least efficient protocol is KERMIT, so this is a good choice to
- replace with HS/Link.
-
- Tab down to the "Protocol Name" which was originally "KERMIT" and
- change it to "HS/Link".
- Tab to "Key" and change it to "H".
- Tab to "Upload Batch" and change it to "HS-U.BAT".
- Tab to "Download Batch" and change it to "HS-D.BAT".
- Tab to "Prompt download filenames" and change it to "blank".
- Tab to "Auto Download Sequence" and change it to the three
- characters ^, B and R (it should look like: ^BR).
-
- Then press ENTER to get out of this screen and cursor down to SAVE
- CHANGES and press ENTER to save your changes.
-
- To download with HS/LINK, first you tell the BBS you're talking to
- what files you want to download, and that you want to download in
- the HS/LINK protocol. On the Tool Shop you can do this with the
- following command:
- D H filename filename S
- for example,
- D H TOOLSHOP.EXE S
-
- Once you've got the BBS into downloading mode, HS/Link will
- automatically be loaded and the download will begin.
-
- If you want to also upload to the BBS while downloading, you simply
- press the PGUP key, select HS/LINK from the menu, and list the
- upload filenames you want to have transmitted.
-
- I hope these instructions help, but remember, I can't take
- responsibility for anydamages resulting from these instructions. If you
- get stuck, it always helps to read the DOC files that come with TELEMATE
- and with HSLINK. If all else fails, call up the tool shop and ask for
- help on the main board. Either I will help you, or somebody else will
- know the answer and give you a hand.
-
- Good luck!
