A fellow Amigan (who shall remain nameless) is trying to control his
amiga 2500 from another amiga through his modem (an internal one)
I think this has been discussed here before, sorry if that's true.
I'm not sure what he is trying to do, but I think he just wants to run
the CLI from the other machine. I told him Arexx could do it, but I
didn't know how exactly. Is Arexx the way to go? and how?
Thanks for your replys,

You need to make your preferences settings for the serial port match the modem. When you dial up, the modem will answer and you can talk to the cli. Another suggestion is DNET (from fish disks). In any case, you need to get a program called NOREQ from the DNET distribution. It prevents those "insert volume xx: in any drive" requestors from coming up on the machine where there is noone to click on cancel! It is real easy to type "dir abc:" and screw things up otherwise. I don't know what ARexx is going to do for you here. -- ******************************************************* * Assembler Language separates the men from the boys. * *******************************************************
