- DOORWAY
-
- This package contains several programs. DOORWAY can be set up to turn
- programs into DOORS on BBS's, and to allow remote access to either a
- BBS or a computer at home or business. The following major executable
- files are provided:
-
- DOORWAY.EXE This is the main redirection program.
- DWHOST.COM This program will answer the phone and pass control
- to DOORWAY for remote access applications.
- DWCOMM.EXE The com program to call in with.
- DWCONFIG.EXE A program to create a configuration file for DOORWAY.
- DOORWAY may be set up for command line switchs or to
- read a configuration file.
-
- If all you are wanting to do is set up a remote system to call into later,
- do the following:
-
- Run install, and answer the questions.
- log into subdirectory you logged into.
- Enter: DWHOST L
- Make any necessary changes to the set-up.
- F10 to save.
- Press F1 or F2 to exit.
- End your autoexec.bat file with \DWHOST\HOST if you wish the computer
- to boot into the HOST mode.
-
- When you are ready to bring up the HOST to receive calls, type HOST. Call in
- with DWCOMM or your favorite communicaitons program. I recommend QMODEM, GT
- Power Com TELIX and so forth. Once you have called in, entered your password
- and been dropped to dos, enter DOORWAY mode on the remote end (ALT = on
- most com programs, CONTROL DOWN ARROW GT, not applicable to DWCOMM) so all
- the keys will work over the modem. DOORWAY will toggle between BIOS and
- DIRECT SCREEN write mode by entering the control character you defined in the
- installation from remote. If you are not getting anything on the remote end,
- enter this character to switch over to DIRECT WRITE mode. Enter it twice to
- redraw the screen.
-
- To transfer a file while in DOS, make sure you have a copy of DWXFER.EXE on
- the remote (in the path) and HOST end. Then either shell to DOS on the remote
- and enter DWXFER REMOTE, or install it as an external protocol, so that when
- you do a download it will shell to dos and execute DWXFER REMOTE. If you are
- calling in with DWCOMM simply select the DWXFER option.
-
- Type exit when through to end the call and bring DWHOST back up for the next
- call.
-
- If carrier is lost in DOS, DOORWAY will bring DWHOST back up again.
-
- For more information read the DWCOMM.DOC, DWHOST.DOC and DOORWAY.DOC.
-
- If you are running something out of the ordinary then you will need to read
- the DOC's. If you are wanting to use DOORWAY with a bulletin board to create
- DOORS then you will need to read the DOORWAY.DOC file.
