Pcomm is a public domain telecommunication program for Unix that is
designed to operate similarly to the MSDOS program, ProComm.  ProComm (TM)
is copyrighted by Datastorm Technologies, Inc.  This is a completely new
program and contains no ProComm source code.  This is not a Datastorm
product.

X.sh 1 INTRODUCTION
X.(x
X\*($n INTRODUCTION
X.)x
X.lp
Pcomm is a public domain, menu driven, telecommunication program
designed to provide the same \*(lqease of use\*(rq as similar programs
available in MSDOS.  Some of its features are:
X.br
X.in +0.5i
X.(b L
X\(bu Large dialing directory
X\(bu Full scripting feature
X\(bu Automatic redial feature
X\(bu Six built-in file transfer protocols
X\(bu External file transfer program support
X\(bu Data logging (log of the terminal session)
X\(bu Printer logging
X\(bu Screen dump to a file
X\(bu Shell escapes to Unix
X\(bu Help screen
X\(bu Keyboard macros
X\(bu User customization
X\(bu Administrative logging of phone calls
X\(bu Optional modem configuration per dialing directory entry
X\(bu Administrative limits on long distance access
X.)b
X.in
X.lp
Pcomm does not emulate any particular terminal.  Whatever terminal
you're on, is what the remote system \*(lqsees\*(rq.
X.sh 2 Abbreviations
X.(x
X  \*($n Abbreviations
X.)x
X.lp
Pcomm uses the notation \*(lq^A-X\*(rq to mean control-A followed by the
letter X. The dash (\-) in the notation is just for clarity; it is not
included in the actual command sequence.  Also, there is no distinction
between upper and lower case letters.
X.lp
The following abbreviations appear in Pcomm:
X.br
X.in +0.5i
X.(b L
X.TS
l l.
X<CR>    carriage return key (sometimes labeled Enter)
X<ESC>    escape key
X<SPACE>    space bar
X<DEL>    del key
X<up>    up arrow key
X<down>    down arrow key
LF    line feed character (control-J)
CR    carriage return character (control-M)
X.TE
X.)b
X.in
X.sh 2 Requirements
X.(x
X  \*($n Requirements
X.)x
X.lp
Pcomm will not run on terminals with a screen size of less than 80
columns by 24 lines or on terminals that lack cursor movement
capabilities.  For terminals without arrow keys, use the letter
X\*(lqU\*(rq in place of \*(lqup arrow\*(rq and the letter \*(lqN\*(rq in
place of \*(lqdown arrow\*(rq (the letter \*(lqD\*(rq would have been a
more obvious choice, but, unfortunately, it is used elsewhere).
X.sh 2 "Support files"
X.(x
X  \*($n Support files
X.)x
X.lp
Pcomm uses four support files, namely:
X.br
X.in +0.5i
X.(b L
X.TS
l l.
pcomm\^.\^dial_dir    the dialing directory
pcomm\^.\^extrnl    the external file transfer programs
pcomm\^.\^modem    the modem/TTY database
pcomm\^.\^param    the start-up default parameters
X.TE
X.)b
X.in
X.lp
There is a default directory (typically \*(lq/usr/local/lib/pcomm\*(rq)
where the \*(lqstandard\*(rq support files live.  Since the average user
won't have write permission on these files, it's assumed that they will
copy one or more of these standard files to their own directories and
edit them to suit their needs.
X.lp
Pcomm can use the environmental variable \*(lqPCOMM\*(rq to search for
these \*(lqprivate\*(rq support files.  If used, the variable must
contain the path to the directory containing the files.  You can
X\*(lqmix and match\*(rq the use of standard and private support files.
XFor example, the pcomm\^.\^modem file is rarely changed by the user so there
would be no need to copy that file to the private directory.
X.lp
Pcomm also uses normal Unix shell scripts to perform the \*(lqchat\*(rq
sequences necessary to automatically log a user onto a system.
X.lp
The following directories are searched to find the support files and the
shell scripts:
X.br
X.in +0.5i
X.(b L
X1) directory given with the \*(lq\-d\*(rq option
X2) directory in the PCOMM environmental variable
X3) the current working directory
X4) the default directory (compiled into Pcomm)

X.lp
Pcomm has the following command line syntax.
X.sp
X.in +0.5i
X.(b L
pcomm [\-d directory] [\-f system name] [\-a auxiliary file]
X.br
X.ti +\w'pcomm 'u
X[-e|o|n] [-w word length] [-b baud rate] [-p phone number]
X.)b
X.in
X.lp
The \*(lq\-d\*(rq option allows you to specify an additional path to be
used when searching for the Pcomm support files.  This option is often
useful for \*(lqborrowing\*(rq someone else's dialing directory.
X.lp
The \*(lq\-f\*(rq option is used to specify automatic dialing of an entry
in the dialing directory.  The name field in the dialing directory
X(described later) is checked against the string given on the command
line.  If a match is found, that entry is automatically dialed.  The
match does not consider upper and lower case differences.
X.lp
The \*(lq\-a\*(rq option is used to specify a script file to be
X\*(lqplayed\*(rq prior to dialing, to specify the TTY to be use, or to
specify the modem to be used.  This feature can be used to customize
Pcomm options or perform unattended operations.
X.lp
The remaining options are used to set the parity, data bits, baud rate,
and telephone number from the command line.
X.br
X.in +0.5i

X.in
X.sh 2 "Hot key"
X.(x
X  \*($n Hot key
X.)x
X.lp
Pcomm uses a \*(lqhot key\*(rq to precede each command.  (The value of
the hot key is a user tunable parameter, but for the purpose of this
document we'll assume the hot key is defined as control-A).
X.lp
The hot key is used to put Pcomm in the command mode.  For example, to
get the help screen, you type control-A (to get to the command mode)
then the number 0 (to display the help screen).  When a command is
completed, Pcomm returns to the terminal mode.
X.lp
X.ft I
NOTE:\ \ While in the command mode, the communication with the remote
system is temporarily suspended.
X.ft
X.sh 2 "Status line"
X.(x
X  \*($n Status line
X.)x
X.lp
Whenever Pcomm is in the command mode (or is not currently connected to
a remote) a status line is displayed at the bottom of the screen.  A
typical status line might look like this:
X.br
X.if n .po 0                \" table may be more than 6.5in wide
X.if n .ll 8.5i

Notice the use of the \*(lq!\*(rq character.  This is the \*(lqcharacter
synonym\*(rq for the carriage return.
X.lp

NOTE:\ \ See section 3.5 for the complete list of character synonyms.  To
remove the special meaning of a character synonym, you must prepend a
X\*(lq\e\*(rq to the character.

The character synonym for a 1 second pause is the tilde \*(lq~\*(rq
character.
X.lp
X6) Auto baud detect.  Should Pcomm attempt to change the baud rate of
the TTY to the baud rate matching the connect string?  This feature
requires the connect strings to be unique.  This does not override the
locked speed feature (discussed in section 3.2).
X.lp
X7\-13) Connect strings.  The return messages when the modem has connected
to the remote.  If different messages are returned for each baud rate at
which the modem answers, then they should be specified.
X.lp
X.ft I
NOTE:\ \ Pcomm uses the connect strings to determine which baud rates the
modem is capable of supporting.  For example, if the 4800 baud connect
string is empty, Pcomm assumes the modem can not support 4800 baud.
X.sp
NOTE:\ \ If two connect strings are very similar, (for example,
X\*(lqCONNECT\*(rq is entirely contained in \*(lqCONNECT 1200\*(rq), it
is possible that the return code from the modem will match the incorrect

Appendix A \- Typical Modem Configuration

X.lp
I can't begin to describe how to configure every modem to work with
Pcomm.  There are, however, several guidelines that will apply to
virtually any modem.
X.ba +0.5i
X.lp
X1) Pcomm doesn't care about the DCD (Data Carrier Detect) settings of
the modem.
X.lp
X2) It would be nice (but not essential) if the loss of the DTR (Data
Terminal Ready) caused the modem to hang up.
X.lp
X3) Pcomm doesn't care if commands are echoed back by the modem (it might
save a few milliseconds if echoing was turned off).
X.lp
X4) Some sort of result codes are required.  Numeric result codes are
ok...  but since they are displayed on the screen, word result codes
will make more sense.
X.lp
X5) If the modem can return different result codes for each baud rate at
which it answers, then by all means, use them.  Match the odd-ball
codes (such as CONNECT FAST for Telebit PEP) to the closet matching speed.
X.lp
X6) Anything that is returned by the modem, but not listed in the modem
setup, is ignored.
X.lp
X7) Systems running older versions of uugetty (the bi-directional version
of getty that comes with HDB uucp) may require extra commands in the
initialization string to assure that uugetty switches to its dial out
mode.  Normally, \*(lqAT!~AT!~\*(rq causes enough dialogue to force
uugetty to release the line.
X.ba
X.lp
XFor example, a 2400 baud Hayes compatible modem might be configured with
the following command:
X.sp
X.in +0.5i

Q0    Turn result codes on
V1    Return word result codes
XX4    Use as many result codes as you've got
X&D2    Hang up when DTR is lost (nice to have)

that Pcomm uses to switch to the AT&T Unix PC 7300/3b1 dialing method.
X.ft
X.lp
X3) Dialing command.  This should be \*(lq%\*(rq for touch tone dialing

Appendix C \- Using High Speed Modems
X.)x
X.ba
X.lp
The features and complexities of the newer high speed intelligent modems
available today warrants a more detailed discussion.
X.lp
X1) Locked interface speed
X.ba +0.5i
X.lp
Newer modems have the ability to maintain a locked interface speed
with the computer without regard to the connected baud rate.  For
example, it is a good idea to lock the interface speed at
X19200 baud (or 38400) when the modem is \*(lqtalking\*(rq at 14400 baud.
X.lp
The \*(lqlocked speed\*(rq field of the TTY database was created to
solve this problem.  If this value is non-zero, Pcomm will only use this
baud rate when talking to the modem.  The true connected baud rate
X(14400 for example) will continue to be displayed in the status line.
X.ba
X.lp
X2) Multiple setups
X.ba +0.5i
X.lp
Users of newer modems may require a different \*(lqinit string\*(rq or
X\*(lqdial string\*(rq depending on the target machine being called.  For
example, when trying to connect to older V.32 modems, the V.42 and V.42bis
features may have to be disabled.  In this case, the dial string would
contain the command to disable the unwanted features.
X.lp
This problem is solved by creating additional modem entries in the modem
database.  For example, you could have an entry called \*(lqTELEBIT\*(rq
for normal connections, one called \*(lqTELEBIT_V.32\*(rq for connecting
to older V.32 modems, and another called \*(lqTELEBIT_PEP\*(rq for
connections to other PEP modems.
X.lp
Pcomm uses the connect strings to determine if the modem can handle the
requested baud rate.  If there are multiple modems that satisfy that baud
rate, then the first modem entry is used.  You can influence the choice of
suitable modems by placing the name of the modem in the Auxiliary field of
the dialing directory.  In this way, you can have a default modem and a
specific modem for each dialing directory that my require one.
X.lp
X.ft I
NOTE:\ \ The default modem configuration (in a multiple setup situation)
must appear first in the modem database.
X.ft
X.lp
Your choices are virtually unlimited...  you can have a separate modem
setup to control modem features such as error control, compression,
protocol spoofing, etc.
