[VAXDIAL] VMS dialout and connect program Submitted by Richard Garland Columbia University Chemistry Department Box 351 havemeyer Hall Columbia University New York NY 10027 (212) 280-3183 Purpose: This program will connect to another port on a VMS system which can be used for DIALOUT to other systems and then connect to the other system as a terminal. It allows session logging, and can spawn DCL or a KERMIT subprocess. Another protocol (MODEM7, VAXNET etc.) could easily be put in as a subprocess. This assumes the use of the latest VMS KERMIT (Stevens) version 3.0.051 available on this DECUS tape. The program writes a message to the accounting file so that accounting of use of a dialout line can be done. The DIALOUT subroutine assumes a Vadic VA212PAR autodialer modem but should be easy to change for other dialers. There is a SIGNON routine which can be used for automated or blind log ins. I wish to add a command interface and make the DIALOUT and SIGNON routines table driven but there was no time. If someone does any thing please send me your results. Routines VAXDIAL.FOR - source VAXDIAL.CMN - include file VAXDIAL.COM - builds the program with debugging on VAXDIAL.EXE - executable (no debugging) DIAL.COM - prototype file to run the program. You must change this for your installation. The routine will generate 2 files: VAXDIAL.LOG - if session logging is on VAXDIAL.DBG - if D_LINES are enabled: useful for getting a new dialer or new signon to work. Enjoy Rg
