Sb: Vidtex autolog sequence

To: ALL AVATEX 1200 USERS
Hello to all of you Avatex users!
This is my first upload of information to anyone on
CIS. I hope is is of use to someone. I thank Steve Shubitz
[75125,233] for his Vidtex autolog for the Hayes modem and
its many clones. Well, my Avatex 1200 is a Hayes
look-alike. The following is the autolog I use to link the
Avatex 1200 to CIS.
You see, I often forget to do a meta Q to change the
parameters of Vidtex to connect at the user defined 1200
Baud. So, I let the autolog do it all for me.
First, let's get our signals straight. The
backarrow ( <= ) represents the Meta key, also known as te
Commodore lo key. The backarrow is used in the autolog
functions for all the Meta functions. Your ESCAPE function
is your British Pond key, but I will just enter ESC to show
the function.
*
I named this particular autolog "CISLOG"
*
Your Meta I creates your new Autolog
.
Autolog Name:CISLOG
1) Prompt: ESC
2) Resposnse:<=Q20[RETURN]
3) Prompt: ES 4) Response:[RETURN]
5) Prompt: ESC
6) Response:<=FL(function keys)
7) Prompt: ESC
8) Response:<=%<=%AT
9) Prompt: OK
10) Response:ATDT(access #)
11) Prompt: CONNECT 1200
12) Response:<=% ^C[ESC]
13) Prompt: ID:[ESC]
14) Response: (enter ID#)
15) Prompt: PASSWORD:[ESC]
16) Response:(enter password)
17) Prompt: ESC
18) Response:ESC
. .
Line 2 gives you the Meta Q to set the B d rate to
1200.
Line 4 is just a carriage return which will take you
back to terminal mode after setting your parameters.
. .
****** PLEASE NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, each line in the
autolog is followed by a carriage return. The ESCAPE key
will automatically carry you to the next entry line in the
autolog.
. .
Line 6 calls in your function keys.
Line 8 alows time for the function keys to be loaded
before sending a command to the modem.
Lines 9 & 10 are prompts that come from the m em. Line
10 gives the connect indication. If connection isn't
accomplished at this point, the autolog will wait until it
gets a prompt that tells it a connection has been
accomplished. You can set up a function key to the redial
function for the Avatex (the "A/" command). You can simply
hit the function key to redial until the connection is made.
Lines 12 through 16 logs you into Compuserve.
