Dialup line file transfer


One use of the PC/IP commands is to transfer files to and from
some network-attached system over a dial-in line.  Two scenarios
for that use are described here.  For either scenario, the
description of commands PC/onhook and PC/tftp should be read 
before proceeding.  These scenarios require that the serial line 
version of PC/tftp be used.


A)  Scenario with manually-controlled dialling:

1)  Type the command "offhook".

2)  Dial the telephone number of the PC concentrator.  When it
    answers, switch the modem to data.

3)  (Optional, but recommended)  Type the command "setclock" to
    verify that the network connection is operational and also
    to set the PC clock so that the date and time attached to
    newly transferred files will be correct.

4)  Issue the "tftp" command to get or put the file wanted.

5)  Repeat step 4 until all files are transferred.

6)  Type the command "onhook".

7)  Switch the modem to voice and disconnect it from the 
    telephone line.


B)  Scenario for use with a terminal-controlled dialling modem:

1)  Type the command "term".

2)  Using the terminal emulator, instruct the modem to dial as
    desired.

3)  Continue with step three, above.
