THIS IS A STRIPPED DOWN VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL REMOTE.DOC.
BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT ALL ORIGINAL FILES INCLUDED IN THIS
ARCHIVE, THERE IS NO NEED TO BOTHER YOU WITH THESE THINGS.
VMC HAS THE PERMISSION TO INCLUDE THIS STRIPPED DOWN VERSION
INTO THE HYPERCOM DISTRIBUTION ARCHIVE.
PLEASE DONT ASK STEVE IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE AUX-
HANDLER. HIS ADDRESS IS ADDED ONLY FOR COMPLETION, NOT FOR
SUGGESTIONS.

REMOTE AUX: Support Steve Drew
-------------------
Here are some utilities I wrote to enchance and support,
remote AUX: logins.
I Files included
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
sd_aux_handler
mountlist.aux
Version 1.5
- minor bug fixes.
- Multi line support (define multiple AUX's)
Version 1.2
- Supports AZ Zmodem program (see below)
- ^R key (retype current line)
- Better typeahead handling. Typing a
command while the display is active, does
not stop the current output, instead it is
buffered and printed after the next CLI
prompt. (Like VMS). To stop the current
output just use standard XON, XOFF. This
is much better when over the modem as with
the 1.3 aux: handler any line noise would
stop the current output until ^X or <CR>
was entered.
- When the typeahead buffer is full AUX:
sends a BELL back to the user.
- Support to 'kill off' a AUX: CLI process
via the 'ECHO >AUX:ENDCLI' command from
another CLI window.
- Prevents multiple 'NEWCLI AUX:' commands.
- Suspends input/output on loss of carrier.
The mountlist file needs to be inserted into your
DEVS:mountlist file. Make sure to remove the
definition of the commodore AUX: handler from your
mountlist if you are planning to use mine.
II Installation instructions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Unpack all files into a directory:
2. Add to your startup-sequence (user-startup)
Assign Rem: dev:directory
Execute Rem:Remote-Startup
III Notes
~~~~~
- REMOTELY Stopping an AUX: Process
Once a CLI is running on the AUX: port, you can remotely
cause the CLI to 'ENDCLI' by issuing the following command:
ECHO >AUX:ENDCLI , from another CLI window.
The sd-aux-handler detects a file open request for
'AUX:ENDCLI' and imediatley causes an ENDCLI command to be
sent to the current reader of the AUX: device. Note: This
does not work with the 1.3 AUX: handler, and will not work
if the CLI running on the AUX: is currently running a
program, ie not at the cli or shell prompt.
