Can ANYONE simplify thed set-up instructions for tele replica.
I can't get the thing to work
I followed the setup directions but I can't get it to dial out .
And if possible does anyone have a .tr file which i can see to pattern mine
after.
the manual was no help or maybe I have to spend an our or so figuring how to
get this thing to atlest run.
HELP

The manual supplied with the version of TeleReplica posted to c.b.i.p (version 1.2) lacked any examples of how TeleReplica might be installed in real situations. This lack has been remedied in the current version (2.8). I understand that TeleReplica version 2.8 is available by anonymous FTP from chyde.uwasa.fi, Vaasa, Finland, 128.214.12.3 as /pc/pd2/tr2-8.zip or from SIMTEL20 as PD2:<MSDOS2.MODEM>TR2-8.ZIP (use whichever site is closest to you). >I can't get the thing to work What is really needed is a full installation program that tests and checks hardware and modem configurations, and then suggests workable settings... but when I will find time to write such a program (if ever) is another question! I guess this is one of the things you pay for in the commercial packages... >I followed the setup directions but I can't get it to dial out . The most likely explanation for this is that your modem is configured to report that it always has a carrier detected. When there is no CD, TR talks to the modem (i.e. sends dial commands, and if you type something it gets sent direct to the modem, and anything the modem sends gets displayed just like in a normal comms program). When there is a CD signal, TR assumes it is talking to TRHOST at the other end of the line, and what it sends would make no sense to a modem! If you are using a Hayes-AT-command-compatible modem the command needed is at&c1. >And if possible does anyone have a .tr file which i can see to pattern mine >after. I presume the TR.TR file supplied was no use? The manual for version 2.8 includes some likely modifications that might need to be made to the .TR files... >the manual was no help or maybe I have to spend an our or so figuring how to >get this thing to atlest run. Well, I wouldn't be too surprised if it took the best part of an hour to get it all working. It has taken me longer than that to get certain similar commercial packages working! >HELP Hope this helps a bit, Doug. (doug@giaea.oz.au) ...!munnari!giaea!doug
