          This manual provides some suggestions on using TeleShare with
          other sofware.  Normally it assumes that you can or have read
          the other software's manual(s).


          Whats covered here:

          Using TeleShare with DSZ:
          Using TeleShare with PCZ:
          Using TeleShare with DIALER:

          Using TeleShare with HYDRACOM:


          Using TeleShare with TELIX:

          Telix  is  a  very  popular  shareware communications package.
          There are many other similar packages, but we will  use  Telix
          for the  example.   You can use Telix normally with Teleshare.
          Its a good idea to load the host TSH before you run Telix, but





          TeleShare DOS  Remote Access       Page 2


          the TELE.TXT shows simpler examples  for  just  answering  the
          telephone.   The  remote  TSR  can  be loaded either before or
          after running Telix.  Otherwise, just quit without hanging  up
          once  any  call  or  connection  that  includes  Teleshare  is
          complete.  Then start the Teleshare session.


          Using TeleShare with DSZ:

          DSZ is Omen's  well  known  industry  standard  file  transfer
          tool.    You  should  ensure  the  batch  files  are  correct,
          including the  port,  baud,  and  cache  settings.    Telefile
          assumes that  the file list will be in the FILES.UP file.  DSZ
          has many features, including the capability to transfer  files
          using direct  connections.  See its DSZ.TXT for more usage and
          product payment information.


          Using TeleShare with PCZ:

          PCZ is a free file transfer tool that is a similar  subset  of
          DSZ.  You  normally  use  it  much like you would use DSZ.  It
          does not have direct connection capability.


          Using TeleShare with DIALER:

          Dialer is a very nice free small phone dialer that is included
          in most TeleShare distributions.  It was designed to work with
          tools like DSZ.  You need to check the TELEFILE.INI  file  and
          any batch files to ensure that it is properly setup.  Normally
          TELEFILE  will  transparently use DIALER once the telefile.ini
          is properly setup, so you do not need to know much more  about
          it.   However,  the  DIALER.TXT  is  the  best source for more
          information.


          Using TeleShare with SCOMM:

          SCOMM is a free communications tools, akin to Telix  but  much
          smaller  dumber  and  simpler,  that  is  included  with  some
          TeleShare distributions.   You  can  use  SCOMM  to  dial  and
          maintain your  phone  number  list.    Use  Telefile,  XM, and
          external protocols for file  transfers.    SCOMM  has  a  nice
          built-in editor  called  TWRP.    It  also  has its own manual
          SCOMM.TXT.  SCOMM is a variant of Al Steven's smallcom program
          from Doctor  Dobb's  Journal.    The  c  language  source  for
          smallcom is available on Compuserve.

          Using TeleShare with NCOMM:

          NCOMM   is   our   name   for   Barry  Nance's  Byte  Magazine
          communications program.    NCOMM  is  designed  as  a  tsr  or
          resident  program and is useful for background file transfers.
          It will not remove itself from memory while  a  connection  is
          active, so  you  'lose'  about  50k  while  its active.  Its c
          language source is freely available on Compuserve.


          Using TeleShare with the WIZARD:

          The Wizard is a shareware program which  will  run  any  other
          program,  and  make  it  appear to that program that a user is
          typing commands at the keyboard.   Actually  the  "typing"  is
          done  automatically  by  the  Wizard  as specified in a script
          file.  The Wizard's scripts  also  allow  it  to  monitor  the
          contents  of  the  computer's screen and elapsed time and take
          actions based on the screen contents and/or the time.    These
          capabilities  help  you quite a bit when you start to automate
          file transfers and such matters.  The Wizard should work  with
          any  program  that uses DOS or the BIOS for keyboard input, or
          that uses the BIOS data area directly.

          The normal Teleshare release will do the job now if  you  want
          to  do  something  like  off site backups every night at 11PM.
          However, when you find yourself repeating  something  quite  a
          bit,  or  a  more  complex  backup process, you should explore
          using the Wizard with Teleshare.



          Using TeleShare with the RUNT:

          The RUNT, or RUN Timer,  is  the  P.  C.  Softsmith  automatic
          scheduler and  maintenance  tool.   It allows you to run other
          software at scheduled intervals (eg at  night),  and  includes
          passwords and  a  screen  saver.    There are a fair number of
          things that can be basically automated so someone can dial  in
          for a short period and check or download the results.

          An example:

          # at 6:30PM echo the ATS0=0 command to the modem on com1
          # this tells the modem to NEVER answer the phone.
          18:30 ECHO ATS0=0 > COM1
          # change the setting to answer on the second ring.
          20:00 ECHO ATS0=2 > COM1

          # other stuff
          # Send the files listing in the FILES.UP file
          # (This assumes another machine is setup to automatically
          #  dial up for downloading. )
          21:30 XM S files.up
          # reboot the machine
          22:00 REBOOT


          Using TeleShare with GATHER:

          Gather is  P.C. Softsmith's simple file manager.  It is mostly
          command line oriented, but can be  run  from  Telemenu's  menu
          system.   It  can use the FILES.UP file generated by Telefile.
          You can use gather to archive only the files  changed  in  the
          last  day,  or 3 days or whatever, as part of a RUNT schedule.
          The archive file can then be backed up off site for additional
          security.  If you use PKZIP or similar technology the  archive
          file can  be  encrypted.    You  can  COPY,  ERASE,  MOVE, and
          TRANSFER files using gather.   See  the  GATHER.TXT  for  more
          information.


          Using TeleShare with AT and DTR:

          First,  you  might  find  more  than  one  AT  in  a TeleShare
          distribution,  because  various  people  have   developed   AT
          utilities.   The  normal  use  of  an AT is something like "AT
          COM1:  454-3434" to dial the phone.  We include an  AT  for  a
          simple dialer, but expect you to be more likely to use it with
          other non-Teleshare applications.

          DTR runs  the DTR on a communications port.  You can use it to
          force the modem to hang-up.

          An example:

          REM Use this command set in a batch file to reset a modem
          REM on com port 2
          DTR COM2: ON
          AT COM2: Z
          DTR COM2: OFF

          You can look  for  the  AT.TXT,  SETMODEM.TXT,  and  AT1-4.TXT
          depending on the specific AT included.


          Using TeleShare with HYDRACOM:





          TeleShare DOS  Remote Access       Page 5


          Hydracom is  a  very  nice  free  fast file transfer tool.  It
          includes  a  terminal,  chat,  and  two  way  file  transfers.
          However,  Hydracom  'takes  over' the serial port and disables
          the host TSH.  Still, you might try it to see how it works for
          you.  Its c language source is available on Compuserve.
