These files should be included in the archive.

phone, password, user name. The file will hold upto 100 numbers
that should be more than enough.
FASTDIAL.PRE

exc....
FASTMODE.DAT
____________
The file fastmode.dat can be edited with any ascii text editor
you will need to place any commands to initilize your particular
modem. The file include in the archive should work fine with any
HST modem. One of the main commands you will have to set, is to
make sure you modem sends back verbial commands.
SZ.EXE
______
Sz.exe is a edited version of send zmodem, it should be in the
same directory as fastterm.prg.
FASTTERM.PRG
____________
Most functions should be very easy to figure out, from the main
menu you can run a ttp, tos, prg with the exec command.
Flip the screen from back white, to white black.
Enter term mode, call the autodialer, do disk functions like
delete files, copy files, type a file to the screen printer, view
arced files. In one of the future revisions i will add view LZH, and
more. You can turn the bottom desplay line on off.
Enter macros exc exc....
AUTODIALER
__________
The autodialer there isn't to much to say here just enter your
phone numbers and save them. Make sure you edit the dialprefix also.
You may send your user name in term mode by hitting the shift F1
keys, and the password shift F2.
MACROS
______
There can be up to ten macros just enter them on the line you
like, to send a macro hit the f[n] keys from term mode.
you must save your defaults from the main menu so that all the macros
will be saved, and loaded at bootup.
PROTOCALLS
__________
At this time FASTTERM supports
YMODEM batch
XMODEM 1k no batch
FMODEM batch
YMODEM_G batch no error checking
SEALINK batch
CMODEM batch NEW protocall as fast or faster than zmodem
XMODEM no batch
ZMODEM batch external at this time
With ymodemg i have found that most atari bbs's supporting it are
not working correctly, so try it if you find it works ok then use it
ymodemg is the fastest.
END
___
I think most of you can figure out the rest, if you need help
hit the help key in term mode...
