-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a general purpose dialer for launching other
Windows based application that hasn't got modem access capability built in.
The modem section support Hayes compatible modem setting. Initialisation string
is user definable up to 30 characters long.
The "Send CR after connect" is required only if your system
requires a CR to wake it up after connection is made. Sepcify "None"
if you don't want this option.
The expect/send pairs section allows user to define their own
host access sequence. For example for accessing Demon service here in UK
you would fill up the expect/send pairs section as follows:
Expect Send Expect send
------ ----- ------ -----
1 ogin: user name\n 3 Protocol SLIP\n
2 assword: yousr password\n 4 HELLO None
5 None None
Launch Program: d:\winsock\tcpman;d:\mosaic\mosaic
( Note ';' is used to separate the TCPMAN and Mosaic )
Once connected, the access sequence goes like this:
Expect string ogin:
Got ogin: send user name
Expect string assword:
Got assword: send password
Expect string Protocol
Got Protocol send SLIP
Expect string HELLO
Got HELLO send nothing
Ignore sequence 5
Launch application program.
If None is specified in any of the expect coloumns, the dialer
will skip that expect/send pair. Specify "None" in send column
tells dialer to send nothing back.
Note:
Unused pairs must be filled in with "None" to stop dialer
from hanging.
Do not quit the dialer while your application is running.
Use hangup to disconnect once you have closed your application.
There is no need to specify AT&D0 to stop the DTR from hanging
up your modem. Once the connection is made, the dialer will release
control of the comm port.
The launch program field in the setup dialog box user must specify
the full path of his or her application program to be launched unless the
program is in the PATH. Th minimized checked bx allows user to specify
whether the program is to be launched in minimized or full window.
