I have a need to do remote control of an A310 over a serial modem link and I'm wondering what software there may be that does this? I can do some of what I want just by getting the remote user to type in *FX3,5 *FX2,1 but this has many problems especially if you want to go back to the desktop and resume Hearsay for zmodem ftp. In my case the user at the other end gets confused with instructions longer than "Press f12 and type *FX2,1" and automating procedures over the wire is very difficult. I'm currently trying to write some Cscript code to allow Hearsay to send OS commands to the CLI but I'm having trouble with that because I don't have enough knowledge of how Hearsay's Cscript routines get invoked whilst Hearsay is running. Any wizards out there with experience? (I don't want to pester David Pilling unless I have to, and I don't expect I'll get a reply from Risc Developments this side of Christmas). Ideally what I want is a program that can be invoked on the remote A310 which can send all serial port data to the CLI and invoke zmodem or other ftp from the command line.
