- 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.
