The computer which is running normal   programs is called the host computer. The other computer is called the replica computer,   since its display is a replica of the host computer's display. .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666" 6 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.16 (  TeleReplica will do a reasonable job of optimizing the screen changes transmitted, so   that (for example) moving a highlighted menu bar will appear almost immediately even   at 1200 baud (provided the call is relatively local). .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666" 6 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.16 (  TeleReplica always updates the replica computer's screen to match the current host   screen. This means that if several commands are issued without waiting for the display   to catch up, then the replica screen will be updated to show the final host screen,   without wasting time transmitting the intermediate screens. .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666" 6 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.16 (  TeleReplica uses a password of up to 39 characters, which means an intruder would (on   average) take millions of years at 2400 baud to guess a well chosen password! Since this   password is transmitted automatically, there is no need to keep it short and easy to   remember - once TeleReplica is installed, you will never need to enter the password   manually. .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666" 6 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.16 (  TeleReplica will allow the host site to call the replica site, or the other way around.

R  What TeleReplica Will NOT Dovļ .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666" 6 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.16 (  TeleReplica will not replicate graphics displays. If the user at the replica computer runs   a program that displays graphics, then the replica display may show (textual) garbage.   Keystrokes will still be transmitted to the host computer, but the user must remember   which keys are necessary to get out of graphics mode again! TeleReplica gives a warning   that graphics mode has been entered, but by then it is too late to avoid it. However, in   an emergency TR can instruct the host computer to reboot, so provided TRHOST is run   from AUTOEXEC.BAT this provides a means of recovery. .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666" 6 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.16 (  TeleReplica will only work with standard COM1 or COM2 ports.

The main thing is that no-one should have any chance of guessing the   password.  G09  .cp 4 6 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.16 V Change Modem Initialization String .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    The string editing menu will appear again, this time asking for the modem initialization   string. This string is transmitted to the modem at the maximum baud rate when   TRHOST runs for the first time. If you are using an automatic power switch that powers   up the host computer when the telephone starts ringing, then the initialization string may   need to answer the phone. There may also be various operating modes that cannot be   stored permanently in your modem's non-volatile memory, and which must therefore be   established each time TRHOST starts. In many applications, where nothing needs to be   changed, this string may be blank. .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    You will probably need to refer to the instruction manual for the host modem to work   out what if anything is required. .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    As well as normal characters, you may need to include some special characters such as   carriage return. Carriage return can be encoded as \r (see the main menu in section 4.1).   Alternatively, any character can be entered in hexadecimal as \0x followed by two hex   digits (for example, carriage return is \0x0D). .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    It may also be necessary to include some kind of delay. For example, some modems go   off into a world of their own for a second or so after a reset command. Delays are   entered in milliseconds as \D followed by the delay (for example, \D1000. [1 second] or   \D500. [half a second]). Delays are only accurate to the nearest 1/18th of a second, so   the number you enter may be modified slightly to reflect the nearest possible actual   delay. .cp 6 6 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.16 V Change Modem Dialing Format String .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    This string determines what TRDIAL will send to the modem to dial a number. The   usual use of TRDIAL will be something likeDv TRDIAL 221166,vĴD so normally the   dialing format string should contain a %s to insert the number. For example, if the   dialing string is "atdt %s\r" and the user enters the previous dialing command, then what   will be sent to the modem is "atdt221166\r". .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    Alternatively, if only one number is required, then the dialing format string may contain   the actual number, in which case the user will only need to enter TRDIAL by itself. 6 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.16 V Select Maximum Baud Rate .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    Another window will appear: .lh 0.08333" Dv .lh 0.16666"    TeleReplica Host Program Maximum Baud Rate Selection .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    Enter baud rate: .lh 0.08333" vĴD .lh 0.16666"    You should enter the maximum baud rate that the host modem is capable of using.   Usually this will be 1200, 2400 or 9600. Note that TRHOST can automatically adjust to   half this baud rate, a quarter of this baud rate, or one eighth of this baud rate. Thus if   you choose 2400 baud, TRHOST will be able to work at 2400, 1200, 600 or 300 baud   (provided the host modem can handle these speeds). 6 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.16 V Abandon Changes .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    If you have made a mistake, or if you only wanted to see what the current settings were,   then this option allows you to quit without making any changes. 6 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.16 V Save Changes and Leave Installation Program .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    This is the normal way to exit this program when you have made all the required   changes.

The serial port (COM1 or COM2)   and the baud rate should be set appropriately for the replica computer and modem.   Video attributes are two hexadecimal digits: the first is the background color, and the   second is the foreground color. The password must be changed to match the password   installed in TRHOST at the host computer. The connect command for the modem is sent   when TR starts running, and the disconnect command is sent when TR terminates. .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    The modem command strings here have the same format as those described above for   the host computer installation. However, make sure you leave the double quotes (")   around each string! .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    The automatic response strings at the end of the file can be used to respond to modem   status messages. For example, if the replica computer's modem is not set to auto-answer,   then TeleReplica may need to respond to a "RING" message from the modem by   answering the 'phone. .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    Please note that since this file contains the password, anyone who obtains a copy of this   file can access the host computer! .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666" v6 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.16. R  How to Use TeleReplicavļ .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    The following instructions assume that TeleReplica has been correctly installed (see   section 4). 6 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.16 (  Host Computer .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    First run the TRHOST program. If the replica computer is to originate the telephone   call, this is all that is necessary. .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    If the host computer is to originate the call, then use the command:       DvTRDIALvĴD    or       DvTRDIAL numbervĴD C09     depending on how the dialing format string was installed. .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    Once TRHOST is resident and the call is established, the host computer can be used   normally. The only difference is that everything that appears on the screen is also being   replicated on the replica computer's screen. .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    The only way to remove TRHOST from memory is to reboot the host computer. .cp 6 6 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.16 (  Replica Computer .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    Use the command:       DvTRvĴD $  [use TR.TR configuration file]    or       DvTR vĴDfilename h  [use filename.TR configuration file] .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    If the replica computer was to originate the call, then the modem initialization string in   the configuration file will usually include a dial command to call the host computer. .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    If the host computer was to originate the call, then the initialization string may contain   an answer 'phone command. Note that in this case it is important that the TR program   not be run until after the phone starts ringing! (Alternatively, there may be no   initialization string, but instead there may be a trigger string to respond to RING from   the modem.) .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    If the configuration file contains no modem initialization string, then the user at the   remote computer can enter modem commands manually. This may be convenient for a   consultant wishing to dial many different clients. .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    Once both TR and TRHOST are running and connected to each other, they will   automatically adjust the host computer's baud rate and the host computer will check the   password provided by the replica computer. Provided the password is correct, the replica   computer will effectively be able to take over the host computer, or alternatively to   observe whatever the host computer is doing. Any key typed on the replica computer   will be acted upon by the host computer, and anything that appears on the host   computer's screen will also appear on the replica computer's screen. .lh 0.08333" .lh 0.16666"    It is sometimes necessary to execute a command on the replica computer, rather than   transmitting the keystroke to the host computer. This is achieved by holding down left   shift, right shift, ctrl and alt all at the same time.
