Abstracts from files in info-mac/comm/ara as of Sun 13 Mar 2005 #### BINHEX ara-client-203.hqx **** Date: 8 Jul 1993 17:28:49 -0500 From: "Cerro, Joseph A" Subject: [*] ARA Client Version 203 Enclosed is a Binhexed Compact Pro file containing the excellent AppleTalk Remote Access Client version 2.03 by Ron Duritsch, which I downloaded from America Online. Version 2.03 fixes a CCL menu bug. This should replace /communications/ara-client-20.hqx. The following is the author's description: "ARAClient is a control panel/application maker that adds value to AppleTalk Remote Access. It adds several features that save time, keystrokes, RAM, and add a measure of security. Most users could care less about the details of telecommunications, they just want to get connected. This utility provides a one-step connection scheme that promises to let users forget all the details of network telecommunications. Users must be using system 7 as well as have already installed Apple's AppleTalk Remote Access software. ARAClient, and the Connector applications it makes, are intended to be used in place of the Remote Access application that Apple provides." This file has been checked with Disinfectant 3.2. This file must be converted with BinHex 4.0. <<<<<< Attached TEXT file follows >>>>>> #### BINHEX ara-commander-21-demo.hqx **** From: (Ron Duritsch) trilo@one.net Subject: ARACommander 2.1 demo ARACommander 2.1 is a control panel that works with the resources and extensions of ARA to provide a more complete, flexible, easier-to-use, and more secure alternative to Apple's client software. It requires Apple's ARA 1.0 or 2.x software and System 7.x. This version has been updated specifically to be compatible with Apple's ARA 2.1, and it's use of a "Modem Scripts" folder. Also new for ARAScripter 2.1 is the ablility to turn ARA "Answer calls" on or off via AppleScript. This is a fully functional demonstration version that will expire 30 days after first use. The file is also avaiable at: ARACommander 2.1 features include a full scheduling capability. Connections can be scheduled at any time and be completely unattended. Disconnection can be unattended as well, by specifying a number of minutes of idle time before disconnection occurs. Full support for scripting with AppleScriptt is also provided. A special application called ARAScripter serves as a scriptable ARA client. Scripters may enable any of the features of ARACommander through script commands, and have full control over the entire range of the connection process. One of the central features of ARACommander are Connectors, mini applications that go beyond the basic capabilities of Apples's connection documents or ARA aliases. The ARACommander control panel can create Connectors that automatically connect to an ARA server when launched. You can also use the control panel to connect to an ARA server. ARACommander is $25, with site licenses available. Visa and Mastercard accepted.

This is a very useful addition to Apple Remote Access I use everyday because of the automount feature (though I also have QuickKeys). It is also compatible with ARA 2.0. ARA+ 1.0.3 is a US$ 20 (FF 100) shareware and Benjamin can be reached at benh@tatooine.fdn.org ----- ARA+ is a little application (it uses 120K of RAM) which displays a status bar. This status bar contains the state of AppleTalk Remote Access along with some way to control this state: if your are connected to a remote host, you have a "Disconnect" button on the right of the status bar, else you have a popUp of connection files. This popUp if configurable. The status bar has two position "small" and "large". "large" is the default one and can be changed with the little switch on the left of the window. When in "small" position, if you are connected you have the connection time and the little "D" button, if you are disconnected you have only the popUp. In "large" you always have the popUp or the button with full title AND the status message. ARA+ adds many features to ARA: It knows some AppleEvents: you can establish a connection and disconnect with AppleEvents. A little aete resource allows you to use these AppleEvents with AppleScript. A future version will implement more AppleEvents. There is a "Smart disconnect" feature (enable by default) which will try to unmount all the remote AppleShare volumes before disconnecting. ARA+ can add volume mounting informations to connection files in order to automount these volumes when a connection is established. ----- #### BINHEX ara-scripting-addition.hqx **** From: (Guillaume) guyom@lorien.imaginet.fr Subject: ARA Scripting Extension Hi there, As a Macintosh developer for now more than eight years, I wrote an AppleScript Extension, allowing complete control over ARA connexions.

It is for use with the Remote Access and Modem control panels. It will probably only work with an iMac internal modem. Modifications include: - Does not allow connections less than 28.8Kbps. The script will keep redialing until a connection above 28.8K is obtained or the user cancels. The minimum allowable speed can be changed by editing the script. - "Modem not responding" errors should be eliminated. - Different modem initialization string. It may improve the reliability of the connection. - Sets the modem speaker volume to low. - Sets the "port speed" to 230400 bps instead of 115200. To use it, place it in the System/Extensions/Modem Scripts folder. Then open the Modem control panel and select it. The script is provided on an as-is basis and is not guaranteed to be fit for any particular purpose. I hope it is of use.

Actually it's a quick hack from the Hayes Smartmodem 2400 but changed to allow access at upto 14.4kbaud. I had to write this quickly as we needed it for our Shiva LAN Rover-E so I haven't used any of the modem's advanced features (but apparently ARA does it's own data compression etc, so these may not be required). This CCL has not been written by AT&T and hence it is not approved by them (but it still works!).

They allow the user to choose the speed that they wish to communication at. It is based on the Global Village Merc/Gold/Silver script and my original hack for the Teleport and PowerPort modems In this version I have limited the connection speeds to only the one specifed using the AT command S37=??. I've check it out with a GV Teleport Gold and Powerport Mercury, but only at speeds upto 14.4kbs (I've only got one Mercury). How It Works: The ARA CCL language supports a command 'ASK'. This allows the user to type in a text string. This string can then be printed, either to the screen or to the modem. (As far as I know I can't do any string comparisons with it, or access it in any other way!! If any one knows any different please let me know.) This string is then sent out to the modem which has had 'echo' enabled. The string is then read back in from the modem and is then compared with1200,.... to select the appropriate speed via modem 'ATS37=...' . Please note that these scripts have no yet been approved by Global Village and are supplied as is with no warrenty etc. However, they work for me and that's all I was ever bothered about anyway. Have fun , and let me know if there are problems, Pete Thornewell (thornewell@lanl.gov) ps I'll get round to writing the CCL for the Platinum when I get access to the AT command set and the report codes from the modem. (Of course the easiest way is for Global Village to send me a modem...) #### BINHEX scr-gv-teleport-slower.hqx **** Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1993 18:48:30 PST From: The Moderators Subject: [*] Global Village Teleport ARA slower-speed scripts Since AppleTalk Remote Access apparently does not support varying the speed of the connection, on marginal lines it is sometimes necessary to connect at a slower speed. Otherwise, a burst of noise can cause the modems to attempt to retrain and hang up the ARA connection. These scripts from Global Village allow connections at various slower baud rates for the Teleport modems.

I have converted the script text into a document with the correct type and creator. From: kevin_tavenner@gateway.qm.apple.com (Kevin Tavenner) Subject: ARA & Practical Peripherals 9600SA The 'Practical Peripherals 9600SA' script that is shipped with AppleTalk Remote Access does not function consistently with the Practical Modem 9600SA. This is normally experienced while using a Quadra X00 with the '040 cache on. It appears that the modem command processor requires quiet time between the "OK" response from the modem and the receipt of the next command from the ARA CCL interpreter. This required quiet time seems to be on the order of 5-10ms. The following script meets this requirement in the simplest way - a "Pause 1" is inserted in front of every "Write" command! This inserts a 200ms delay (Quadra 700, cache on) that allows the modem command processor to recycle for the next command. The disadvantage of this approach is that the CCL execution times for dialing and hanging up are increased by about 1s. The speed of the ARA connection is unaffected since the CCL interpreter is only used for initiating and terminating connections. #### BINHEX scr-prometheus-ultima.hqx **** From: bms@shield.eng.pyramid.com (Bruce Schlobohm) Subject: [*] ARA script for Prometheus Ultima Home Office modem Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1993 11:18:20 -0800 (PST) This is the AppleTalk Remote Access script for the "Prometheus Ultima Home Office" modem.

These CCL's will work with following modems*: * SupraFaxModem V.32bis * SupraFaxModem V.32 * SupraFaxModem 144LC * SupraFaxModem 144PB * For SupraFaxModem Plus use the CCL provided with ARA. For the SupraModem 2400 and SupraModem 2400 Plus use the Hayes 2400 CCL provided with ARA. Desription of the various CCL's: SupraFaxModem V.32bis This is the standard CCL to be used with all the SupraFaxModems listed above SFM V.32bis - S110=3 This CCL should be used by the initiator of a call when line quality is poor. It will have the modems connect at 4800 then upshift to the highest speed that the line quality will permit (maximum 14,400) SFM V.32bis - S110=0 This CCL can be used on the Client or Host end when line conditions are very poor.It will limit carrier speeds to 9600 and below. SFM V.32bis/9600 - S110=0 This CCL also allows carrier speeds up to 9600 but also sets the serial port speed at 9600. This should be used on those Macs where high speed serial communication is a problem SFM V.32bis/9600/NHW - S110=0 This CCL is the same as above one but it disables hardware handshaking and uses Xon/Xoff (software) flow control instead. ----- I have not sought permission to re-post these CCL's due to the distance between me and Supra US, they were emailed by a third party. However since they should only help existing Supra owners run their modems as initially expected I don't forsee any objections on their part, especially since they are freely available on their BBS.

These files will work for both ARA 1.0 and ARA 2.0. They will not work if you are running LineShare=81 from Stalker Software, SDMS LineShare Lite=81 included with Supra Digital Messaging System or with the Line Manager feature included with FAXstf=81 3.0. In those cases please use the CCL that is provided with that software. These CCLs support all SupraFaxModem models including the SupraFaxModem 288, SupraFaxModem V.32bis, SupraFaxModem 144LC, SupraFaxModem 144PB, SupraFaxModem Plus. Changes in this release are: Improved reporting of connection speeds with the SupraFaxModem 288 modem; =46ixed blind dialing problem that existed for some SupraFaxModem models; =46ixed manual dialing problem in ARA 2.0.

White) Subject: ARA-Zoom 28.8 Script Date: Tue, 31 May 1994 18:35:17 -0600 The files enclosed are ARA scripts for the new Zoom 28.8kbs modem. (I think the Magic modems are made by Zoom Telephonics as well and should be compatible). The Zoom VFX V.Fast script attempts to link at 28.8 bps and should automatically fall back to the fastest speed possible depending on the line quality. I have found that it is not possible to reliably use 28.8 bps on my phone system, so I have included several other scripts that will force a connection at the baud rate specified. (24000 baud seems to work the best for me). All the scripts use 38,400 baud to communicate with the modem and error correction/data compression are turned off. -------------------- #### BINHEX scr-zoom-faxmodem-v32.hqx **** Date: Sat, 22 Aug 92 10:40:50 PDT From: survit varshney Subject: Official Zoom V.32 ARA Script Hi, here is the official Zoom faxmodem V.32 ARA script. The one posted earlier (V.32 Turbo) had problems with V.32 bis modems. This script does not (hopefully) have those problems. Binhexed, compacted with compact pro. I will work with 14.4 Zoom Fax Modems. Please direct any questions to Zoom Telephonics. Thanks! #### BINHEX scr-zoom-v32bis.hqx **** Date: Wed, 21 Oct 92 15:54:27 PDT From: Suvrit Varshney Subject: ARA Script for Zoom V.32 bis Modems (resubmission) This is the ARA script for Zoom V.32 bis modems. The official script released by Zoom crashes the program after disconnection. This script is close to the official script and does not crash after disconnection. Please replace the appropriate script with this one. This script may also work with 9600 baud modems although I'm not sure about this. Those who have 9600 baud Zoom modems and are having probs while disconnecting the modem can try this script.

Surprise, surprise! We bought two ZyXEL U -1496E+ modems a week ago and found out by accident that they support 19200bps! Thus, it was necessary to rewrite the modem script for Apple Talk Remote Access to make it work with this new generation of modems. Since this script might be of interest to many new users of Zyxel modems for the Macintosh it would be a good idea to have it posted in info-mac/comm! Thanks much. This CCL script now supports the newest ROM version and 19200bps speed (April1993) for which I didn+t get any written information although the modem does support this feature. In general, the script supports 57600 baud from Mac to Modem and back. The settings work with a pair of ZyXEL modems (at 19200bps!) and with at least two other modems from different manufacturers on a Plus and on a Quadra 700 including callback, mixed pulse and touch tone dialing, etc. Since some national telephone systems or switchboard telephone equipments don+t give the anticipated dialtone, I have included an escape sequence to override this necessity just in case (changes the script from X6 to X3). If there are any problems please let me know. However, I cannot guarantee that this hack will work for every ZyXEL modem. If it works for you, drop me a line, please. My E-mail address is Greetings! #### BINHEX scr-zyxel-u1496e.hqx **** Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1993 19:30:33 +0100 From: Sigurd.Meldal@ii.uib.no (Sigurd Meldal) Subject: ZyXEL U1496e ARA script submission The ZyXEL U1496e script in the archives never did work for me with modems running at more than 9600 bps. There was not even a string for 16800 bps, and answering malfunctioned as well. So, here is a hacked version, which functions well in the tests I have submitted it to: High speeds (14400 bps and 16800 bps), callbacks and at least one non-ZyXEL call-in modem (an Apple Express Modem). I suggest you replace the archived copy with this one. Best regards, Sigurd Meldal
