[comp.sys.atari.8bit] SMARTT.DOC - #10 of 10 in Get Going With Kermit

cfchiesa@bsu-cs.UUCP (Christopher Chiesa) (10/21/88)

Some of the sharper-eyed of you may have noticed that I posted a list of 9
files, and have since been posting other files as "#xxx of 10" rather than
"...of 9". Well, I forgot I had a doc file for the Smart T: handler posted
just a few messages ago!

Here's the doc for that handler.

Kermit/VT100 emulator)

SMARTT is a smart-modem emulating handler for the Atari 1030 modem.

Its commands may seem awkward, compared to the handlers for the Atari
modems.  But bear in mind it is pretending to be a hardware box outside
your computer.  If you have actually used a smart-modem these commands will
be familiar.

Most programs expecting the 850 or similar device handlers should work
with this handler.  For serial I/O do close R: and reopen R: when finished
like the 850.

The first time your program tries to open R:, you should see the SMARTT:
prompt.  At other times, it may be necessary to hit the "+" key 3 times
quickly to raise the prompt.  When at the SMARTT: prompt, the following
Hayes smart-modem commands are accepted.

SMART T command summary:

atdt - pulse dial a number, for example ATDT7296046<return> dials
       and connects to NCAUG.

atdp - pulse dial, like atdt is tone dial.

ato  - if you are at the SMARTT: prompt but you just want to go back 
       online, get connected by saying ATO

atb  - send a .5 second break signal

ata  - put modem into Answer mode, to pick up the phone

ath  - hang up the phone

atf  - set full/half duplex toggle


That is the limited set of smartmodem commands supported by SMARTT.  In
practice, SMARTT does not seem to work with some programs.  However, it
does work with some R: telecom programs when R.BIN doesn't.
