SEA Technical Memorandum #0206, SEAdog 4.50; TTY Interface Functions
Last updated: December 8, 1988

SEAdog 4.50
TTY Interface Functions
The TTY interface in SEAdog 4.50 (accessed by pressing "Alt D" when the
mailer is running) includes several functions to provide common services.
These are accessed by pressing the proper keys, as follows:
PGUP This tells the TTY interface to transmit ("upload") a file using
adaptive SEAlink. "Adaptive" means that it is compatible with
XMODEM, Modem7, and Telink. You will be prompted for the name(s)
of the file(s) to transmit. The "wildcard" characters "*" and "?"
may be used.
PGDN This tells the TTY interface to receive ("download") a file using
adaptive SEAlink. You will NOT be prompted for the filename(s),
so this is not compatible with XMODEM. Any files received will be
placed in your received files area, as defined by the FILES
statement in your SEAdog configuration file.
HOME This is used to "jump to DOS" for a local MS-DOS session. Use the
MS-DOS "exit" command to return to the TTY session.
END This ends the TTY session and hangs up the phone.
Alt P This toggles the parity mask. When the parity mask is on, the
"high bit" is masked off of all data received (except during
SEAlink file transfers).
Alt C This toggles capture. When capture is turned on, you are prompted
for the name of a file to capture to. If the file does not exist,
it is created. When capture is on any data received from the
remote system (again except during SEAlink file transfers) is
added to the end of the capture file. The capture file is
automatically closed when a TTY session ends.
In addition, the TTY interface automatically responds to an enquiry (ENQ)
by transmitting your name as given in the NAME statement (or equivalent) in
your SEAdog configuration file. If you have multiple NAME statements, then
the first one is used. The first space in the name is changed to a
semicolon. Thus, this is compatible with both TBBS and Kitten 2.0, where
it provides a fast and easy session login.
