TITLE:
    telser

VERSION:
    1.40

AUTHOR:

DESCRIPTION:
    telser.device  ("telser")  is  a  modem  simulator  running over a TCP
    telnet/rlogin  connection.   It  simulates  basic `modem commands', so
    telecommunication ("comm") programs can run over a network connection.
    To  the  comm  program,  it  thinks it's talking to a modem.  Terminal
    emulation,  file  transfers,  scripting,  etc., are all handled by the
    comm  program.   Connecting  to  a  host  is as simple as typing "ATDT
    abc.edu,23"  or  even  simpler if the host is in the comm's phonebook.
    Also, with telser's built-in scripting, logins can be fully automated.

    telser  supports  most  of  the telnet/rlogin negotiation commands and
    options.   For  example,  you  may  elect to notify the remote host on
    changes  to the terminal emulation type and window size.  An intuitive
    "gadtools"  graphical  user  interface  is supplied to control most of
    telser's operations.

    telser  can  also  run in host mode, essentially allowing it to accept
    incoming  telnet/rlogin  calls.  When telser is configured to run as a
    telnetd/rlogind,  remote  users  can  log  in  and  run standard shell
    commands  and  CLI "doors" such as online games.  Unwanted connections
    can  be  denied.   Calls  may  be  tracked  by a caller ID feature.  A
    "multi-line" BBS can be easily set up over the internet!

    telser  is  capable  of  unlimited device units, which means unlimited
    incoming  and  outgoing  connections  are  possible.  It supports both
    TCP/IP  packages on the Amiga, namely AmiTCP (tested with 3.x and 4.x)
    and  AS225r2  (or  compatible).   MLINK, is also supported.
