Abstracts from files in info-mac/comm/ctb as of Sun 20 Mar 2005 #### BINHEX amt-applelink-ccl.hqx **** From: KATELEY@applelink.apple.com Hello there, Here is an AppleLink CCL for using the Apple Modem Tool (version 1.1 or greater). It works around some issues with the Comm Toolbox implementation in AppleLink 6.1. It should be more robust than an earlier CCL posted a couple of months ago. Many thanks go to the AOS group for identifying CTB scripting workarounds in CCL. It is is released Òas isÓ Ñ it has no known software limitations and is not a supported product of Apple Computer. (Note: Requires the Communications Toolbox and the Apple Modem Tool 1.1 or greater (1.1.1 preferred), which are not included in this package.) #### BINHEX amt-modem-definitions.hqx **** Date: Thu, 29 Sep 1994 20:11:16 -0800 From: mspace@netcom.com (Brian Hall) Subject: AMT Modem Definitions (Mark/Space Collection) --========================_6784390==_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" This archive contains modem definition files that import into version 1.5 or later of the Apple Modem Tool to fine tune the operation of the tool for modems made by Prometheus (including LineLink), Global Village, and Supra/PSI.

It lets you establish a connection with a remote computer through a modem attached to your Macintosh (or through shared network modems). It supports low-level CEPT-1 protocol used in European Videotex systems. It uses CCL script files (the same files as ARA uses) for controlling the modem, thus the user interface is as clear and simple as it is in the Apple's Remote Access Setup control panel. The tool can also trace CCL scripts. Balloon Help(tm) supported. The CEPT Modem Tool can be freely distributed on non-commercial basis.

I am offering this as freeware though, so you are able to freely distribute this as long as the documentation accompanies the application. You may freely use this in any non-commercial manner. If you wish to use it in any other way, please contact the author at: jerry@hipark.austin.isd.tenet.edu Jerry Gatlin 4702 Valley Oak Dr. Austin, Texas 78731 512 458-1739 This program controls X10 modules to turn on and off appliances, lights, thermostats, and anything else that can be controlled by X10 devices. This program requires a model CP290 X10 computer interface along with the appropriate modules for the devices you wish to control. X10 is available through a variety of sources and both Radio Shack and Leviton make X10 components. Instead of having to run wires to these modules to control them, the X10 protocol runs over your existing AC wiring. You just plug in (or wire in) the module and go. YOU MUST HAVE CRON TO RUN THIS PROGRAM!!! Cron is a Macintosh version of the unix scheduling utility written by Chris Johnson. If you're unfamilar with the concept of cron, please download cron and read its documentation before spending much time with this documentation. You should be able to find cron at most of the Mac archive sites. If you have trouble, try these sites: anonymous ftp to ftp.cc.utexas.edu in the /pub/chrisj directory the web page http://gargravarr.cc.utexas.edu/cron/cron.html anonymous ftp to ftp.utexas.edu in the /pub/mac/util or the web page http://www.utexas.edu/cc/microlib-mac/main.html This has been tested with cron 1.0d16 which is the current version as of August 29, 1994. As cron requires system 7 to run, this application by default also requires system 7. Although the Comm ToolBox is built into system 7, if for *any* reason Apple chooses to remove it at a later time, this app won't work. It will be nice and report the reason for its failure to you though. Although primarily intended for scheduling lights, etc. at predetermined times, you can use Chris Johnson's "Command Line" cron debugging aid for immediate, direct control of devices. "Command Line" simply puts up a dialog and allows you to send commands to cron applications immediately instead of setting up cron to execute at the next minute and waiting for the minute to roll by. This program is a fat binary (it runs native on either the PowerMac or 68k Macs) and was written using the Metrowerks CodeWarrior C Compiler. --========================_22289196==_ Content-Type: application/mac-binhex40; name="cronX10-1.0b4.sit" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="cronX10-1.0b4.sit" #### BINHEX ctb-daemon-11.hqx **** From: ruedi.boesch@wsl.ch (Ruedi Boesch) Subject: CTBDaemon CTBDaemon is an AppleEvent-aware application, which implements the connection-manager interface of the CTB (communication toolbox) as a scriptable application.

I "colorized" the pictures in the Hayes Modem Tool. These are the pictures that show up while it is dialing out or receiving a call. I don't expect anyone to pass out from the briliance of these pictures, but I just figured that if anyone else was annoyed at the black and white-ness of the Hayes Modem Tool, then they could use this. Actually, I'm not sure if anyone still uses this as much as I do. I've never been able to get the Apple Modem Tool to work just right with my Zoom 14.4 Fax. Perhaps the HMT is outdated; alas though, I'm digressing. To install: double click the enclosed HMT Color resedit file. While in resedit, open your current Hayes Modem Tool and copy the resource from my file to yours. It seems to work without rebooting or anything, but remember, some comm programs load the tool at startup, so if one is running, you may need to quit and restart the application to notice any changes. If you feel I missed something, you think I have bad taste in colors, or you have suggestions on what I better use my free time to do, let me know. My address is Linger@starsys.laf.in.us.

Date: Sun, 20 Nov 1994 03:25:29 -0800 From: schuyler@netcom.com (Gabriel M. Schuyler) Subject: [*] Megahertz Internal A2144 - for Apple Modem Tool --========================_7257136==_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I was having a difficult time with Eudora hanging part way through large messages. I tracked the problem down to not enough flow control in my Megahertz Internal modem (A2144). This file can be imported into the Apple Modem Tool and it will turn on XON/XOFF modem-to-modem flow control and set the preferences accordingly. As an added feature, I set S95 to 010 which adds "/ARQ" to the CONNECT message when it connects with error correction. This means that now Eudora can say "The connection was established WITH ERROR CORRECTION" which is nice for anal-retentive people. If anyone can improve on this, please let me know. I'm just happy to have the modem working, reliably, at full speed again. . . . This probably belongs in the /comm/ctb folder. --========================_7257136==_ Content-Type: application/mac-binhex40; name="AMT-Megahertz_A2144" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="AMT-Megahertz_A2144" #### BINHEX outland-tcp-tool-10.hqx **** Outland TCP Tool Copyright © 1994 Outland, Inc. All Rights Reserved The Outland TCP Tool is a connection tool for the Communications Toolbox. It uses the MacTCP driver to communicate over TCP/IP networks. The tool supports synchronous and asynchronous open, close, listen, read, and write. This is not a Telnet tool! If you want to connect to the Telnet port, 23, you are probably not going to have much luck. The Outland TCP Tool provides a raw TCP connection only. In the settings dialog, you can enter an IP address and port number. If you are using the tool to open a connection, the address and port number are of the TCP port you are connecting to. If you are using the tool to listen for an incoming connection, the address is ignored (it is always the local machine), and the port is the port number to listen on. The port number 0 has a special meaning to the MacTCP driver; using it is not recommended. You may be freely copy and use this tool for personal, non-commercial activities. For all other uses, contact Outland. Bill Lipa outland@aol.com 1-800-PLAY-OUT Notes: - Requires System 7 running on a 68020 or better Macintosh. - To connect two ports on the same computer, your application may need to call CMListen and CMOpen asynchronously. Otherwise the receiving application will not get time to accept the call, and the system will hang. - This release does not report errors to the user. Instead, a debugging file is produced called "Code Resource Debug". If you are reporting a bug, please include the contents of this file if it is in the same folder as your CTB application. - This release does not support timeouts or any CTB 1.1 functionality.
