- 1. I am having trouble defining keys in the keyboard dialog
- window. They appear to be defined correctly, but when I
- start NetTerm and login to a host, they don't work.
-
- The problem is, when you defined the keys, the Num Lock
- light on your keyboard was on. NetTerm thought you were
- defining the keys with the Num Lock modifier. Try defining
- your keys again, and make sure that the Num Lock light on
- the keyboard is not on, and the green ball next to the Num
- Lock status (upper right hand of the dialog box) is not set.
-
- If you really want to define a key with the Num Lock modifier,
- then of course you can do so. Simply left mouse click on the
- Num Lock key in the dialog box. A green ball will then be
- displayed. Now click on the key to be defined, and use the
- standard procedure to define the key. In general, you should
- never define a key with the Num Lock modifier, or while online.
-
- 2. I am having trouble pasting text into the NetTerm window.
- I am having trouble doing an ascii file transfer.
-
- NetTerm uses two timing values for both paste text and send
- ascii files to a host. These can be specified by selecting
- the Options|Setup|Global Settings|File Transfer Tab.
- Normally Delay-1 should be 20 and Delay-2 should be 200.
-
- 3. I can't get NetTerm to save my phone book entries.
-
- This normally happens when you unzip and install NetTerm in
- the same directory. You must unzip the NetTerm distribution
- in a temporary directory, then install into it's permanent
- directory.
-
- 4. Is it possible to limit the number of NetTerm sessions?
-
- Yes, just add the MAXINSTANCE=x keyword in the netterm.ini file
- where x = the maximum number of NetTerm sessions. The keyword
- should be placed in the top portion of the netterm.ini file under
- the section [TERM].
-
- 5. I cannot find my modem in your list of supported modems.
-
- Trying to keep up with all of the available modems and buying each one
- for testing would be very expensive. See FAQ 18 for the html address
- of a very good source of modem setup strings. We would also suggest
- that you select the TAPI option if your systems supports it.
-
- 6. Will the FTP Server work with BBS's that support this feature?
-
- Yes, we have tried it with bbs.execpc.com and got excellent results.
-
- 7. Will the NetTerm zmodem file transfer work with my BBS over the
- Internet?
-
- The hard facts are, some BBS's support the zmodem protocol fully and
- some do not. Also, it appears that some BBS's treat Internet based
- zmodem requests as the lowest of low on the priorty list of things
- to get done. So much so, we have observed file transfers at 100
- bytes per second! Others can transfer files at the speed of your
- logon modem baud rate. Transfer speeds will also vary with the
- number of logged in users. It's worth the time to give it a try
- if you have Internet access and normally dial long distance to your
- BBS. It could save you a lot of money if your BBS supports it.
-
- 8. Will NetTerm work with the Netscape WWW client?
-
- Yes, just define NetTerm to Netscape by using Netscape's Options,
- Preferences menu. Select the "Applications and Directories" tab.
- On the line "Telnet Application", use the browse button to locate
- NetTerm and you ready to telnet directly from Netscape.
-
- 9. How do I adjust the size of the NetTerm window?
-
- The size of the main window depends upon three values; the number
- of rows, the number of columns and most important, the size of
- the font. In most cases, the rows and columns remain fixed at
- 24x80 so the font size is really what determines the overall size
- of the screen. If you have a need to just monitor a site, chose
- a small font size from the font dialog box. If you have a large
- monitor, and want a really big display then just double an existing
- value displayed in the font dialog box. For example, if you are
- using the font isi_oem and you see the value 10 displayed in the
- font dialog box, type in 20 and you will get a large window size.
- We have also found that the font Courier New, Bold provides the
- largest screen size at most resolutions.
-
-
- 10. How do I get the correct international characters for my country?
-
- NetTerm has the ability to map both the keyboard and video with
- the use of country tables. The country table can be defined by
- host, using the 'Mapping' push button within the phone directory.
- A country table must be created by copying the country.ini file
- to another file prefixed with the desired country name, such as
- norway.ini. Then define this mapping file to one of your hosts
- and use the Options-Setup-International menu to map both the
- video and keyboard sections. The example file norway.ini contains
- the following mappings:
-
- Video KeyBoard Normal KeyBoard Shifted
- 0x7b --> 0xe6 0x1a --> 0x7d 0x1a --> 0x5d
- 0x7c --> 0xf8 0x27 --> 0x7c 0x27 --> 0x5c
- 0x7d --> 0xe5 0x28 --> 0x7b 0x28 --> 0x5b
- 0x5b --> 0xc6
- 0x5c --> 0xd8 Note that the keyboard mapping uses
- 0x5d --> 0xc5 the unique Windows key scan code.
-
- The Options-Setup-International menu also has a global flag that
- will enable/disable mapping for all hosts.
-
- InterSoft will accept unique country files and will include them
- in the normal distribution of NetTerm. Once you have tested out
- your country file, email to the address shown in the About box.
-
- 11. How can I print files that contain binary HP escape sequences?
-
- The program netsend.c should be uploaded to your host and compiled.
- This program is designed to handle files with binary HP printer
- control sequences and extremely long lines which would normally
- not work correctly with the standard netprint script file.
-
- 12. For the Unix WordPerfect users, from one of our clients:
-
- A hint: If any other Netterm users inquire about using
- your telnet with WP5.2+ for Unix, ensure they use
- 386CONS as the value for the environment variable
- WPTERM52 when using KEYS-WORDPERFECT. Even though they
- are actually using vt100 emulation, this will ensure the
- system anticipates the correct codes.
-
- 13. The protection logic for versions 3.2.0 and higher has been
- changed to allow more complete control of the toolbar, menu
- items, and submenu items. A new file named protect.ini has
- been included with the NetTerm distribution which controls
- the new protection logic. This file can be located anywhere
- and it's location is specified in the netterm.ini file with
- the PROTECTFILE keyword. To enable protection, set the
- PROTECT keyword to a 1. For example, to enable protection
- using a protect.ini file located on D: drive in the data
- directory, place the following in the netterm.ini file:
-
- PROTECT=1
- PROTECTFILE=D:\DATA\PROTECT.INI
-
- The protect.ini file has three major areas. They are:
-
- Toolbar Protection - Control icons displayed on the toolbar
- Menu Protection - Controls the high level menu items
- Sub menu Protection - Controls individual sub menu items
-
- To disable a icon, menu item or sub menu item, simply change
- the value ON to OFF. If you turn off a high level menu, it
- is not necessary to turn off it's lower level menu items.
-
- 14. Can I use the SmartButtons to select a menu item such as
- Print Screen? Yes, if you place ~99999 in the Transmitted
- Key Data field (where 99999 is one of the menu item codes)
- NetTerm will select that menu item.
- Refer to the table below for value menu item codes.
-
- If you place a valid html URL within a SmartButton, NetTerm
- will call your user defined browser for processing. This
- works for all URL's including the ftp:// URL.
-
- 15. Can I use the Smartbuttons to run a script?
- Yes, once you are logged on you can run simple scripts to
- automate long key sequences. Simply place an @ character
- as the first character in the Transmitted Key Data field,
- followed by the complete script filename. For example:
-
- @\netterm\scripts\runtime.txt
-
- Keep in mind that this feature is currently in development and
- selected script commands may not work.
-
- 16. I can't get the modem to be silent while dialing, why not?
-
- NetTerm recently changed the way it sets the modem up in order
- to handle some of the newer PCMCIA modems on the market. If
- your current modem setup sting looks something like:
-
- AT %F1 M0 S11=40 S2=128
-
- change it to:
-
- AT%F1\rATM0\rATS11=40 S2=128
-
- The ATM0 portion of the command is what tells the modem to be
- silent.
-
- 17. From one of our clients. If you use the Norton program FASSINT,
- watch out! It causes NetTerm and other programs to crash.
-
-
- 18. Will NetTerm work with netcom?
-
- The basic telnet client of NetTerm will work with the netcom TCP/IP
- software, but not the zmodem or FTP server. We are currently working
- on ways to resolve this. NetTerm will however work completely if you
- use a winsock such as Trumpet instead of the normal netcom software.
- We have included a script file, netcom.txt, which can be used with
- Trumpet to access netcom. Based upon our tests with netcom, the
- purchase of Trumpet WinSock is a very wise investment and will make
- your WWW surfing much faster and enjoyable. You should also take a
- look at http://www.webster-image.com/iis/PCsHelpPage/index.htm
- for additional information.
