TITLE:

VERSION:

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.
