ProComm Plus Host Mode Help
While in Host Mode, you have the following options:
F)iles: displays the files available for downloading
U)pload: displays the nine upload transfer protocols available
D)ownload: displays the nine download transfer protocols available
H)elp: displays this file
T)ime: displays the time you logged on and the current time
C)hat: alerts me that you would like to 'chat' via keyboard
G)oodbye: logs you off the system and terminates your call
R)ead Mail: allows you to read posted public messages
L)eave Mail: allows you to post public or private messages
You may also have these two restricted options, at the Sysop's discretion:
S)hell: puts you into DOS, giving you control over my computer
A)bort: causes ProComm to terminate Host Mode
There are nine transfer protocols available for uploading and downloading:
A)SCII: USE FOR TEXT FILES ONLY; no transfer error checking
K)ermit: universal transfer protocol, with error checking; often
transfers files very slowly
X)modem: error checking protocol, but can transfer only one file
at a time; requires both computers to be set to NO
parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit (<speed>-N-8-1)
T)elink: Xmodem variant that allows for batch (multiple file)
transfers, using wildcards; same requirements as Xmodem
S)ealink: 'sliding window' Xmodem variant, with error checking;
usually much faster than Xmodem; permits batch file
transfers using wildcards (* and ?) in the filename;
same requirements as Xmodem
W)xmodem: 'sliding window' Xmodem variant, with error checking;
usually much faster than Xmodem; same requirements as
Xmodem
Y)modem Batch: 'large data block' Xmodem variant; with error checking;
the larger data blocks make it much faster than Xmodem
except over very noisy telephone lines; permits batch
(multiple file) transfers by using wildcards (* and ?)
in the filename, or transfer only a single file by
by entering a complete name; when downloading, choose
'YMODEM' on your program's transfer menu; same
requirements as Xmodem
G)Ymodem-G Batch: like Ymodem Batch, but uses hardware (modem) error
checking for much greater speed; requires an ARQ or MNP
capable modem for BOTH caller and host
I)modem: like Xmodem, but uses hardware (modem) error checking
for much greater speed; requires an ARQ or MNP capable
modem for BOTH caller and host
