DESCRIPTION

 SIO program allows on a common PC computer modification to an advanced alphanumeric terminal capable of collaboration with the UNIX system. The possibility of multi-session work (DOS) creates such work comfort as when working on the system console. Built-in modem co-operation functions and file transmission result in the fact that it can be easily used as a communication program as well.

 The following versions of the program are available:

• with series interface for DOS - works directly with series port 8250, 82550 - allows full configuration of the series port (including speed of transmission setting up to 115.200 bits/s and transmission synchronization : XON/XOFF, XPC, ENQ/ACK as well as modem lines),
• with series interface for WIN 95/98/NT - allows on full configuration of the series port (including speed of transmission setting up to 115.200 bits/s and transmission synchronization: XON/XOFF, XPC, ENQ/ACK as well as modem lines),
• with TCP/IP interface (via packet driver) for DOS - allows on work with telnet and rlogin protocols,
• with TCP/IP interface (winsokets) for WIN 95/98/NT - allows on work with telnet and rlogin protocols.

 Program functional qualities:

• Polish language version;
• emulation of  such terminals as: Sio, ANSI, AT386, QNX, VT52, VT100, VT220-7, VT220-8, PC Term, WY60;
• Sio – has its own terminal protocol for the window applications (for example sysadmsh, scosh, ixCOMMANDER) and it is faster than ANSI protocol for approx. some 25-30%;
• easy definition installation of the emulated terminals under the UNIX system - package includes the installation script for the systems UNIX SCO 3.2.2 and 3.2.4 as well as NOVELL SVR4;
• multi-session work (DOS) -program allows to open up to 20 user sessions at the same time that are switched over by the system program which manages the multi-session work (for example mscreen in system UNIX SCO);
• possible operation of two monitors - makes the multi-session work much more comfortable;
• configuration of the video text modes – the program allows on using the standard and nonstandard video card modes EGA, VGA, SVGA, with multi-session work it is possible to open sessions with various screen resolutions;
• translation of the video attributes allows on replacement of those attributes that do not fit to others (for example the underline attribute on the color card looks like a dark navy blue - it can be replaced with more pleasant one);
• keyboard in the ASCII mode and the code scan (DOS merge, VP/ix work without a problem), when multi-session work the scan code applications and the ASCII cab work at the same time;
• full keyboard definition in the ASCII mode and the code scan - each key combination can be assigned with any character sequence;
• work with a local printer (UNIX SCO lprint work without a problem);
• translation of the incoming codes to a screen and a printer allow on adopting the program to any of the Polish letter codes;
• the procedures for automatic log in and log out allow for the majority of the most frequently repeated operations to be automated;
• possibility of storing the course of a session into the hard drive - log;
• collaboration with a modem - flexible modem cooperation configuration allows to attach and use full abilities of the majority of modems existing on the market;
• storage of addresses, transmission parameters, telephone and fax numbers;
• transmission of files ASCII, Xmodem, Ymodem, Zmodem, Kermit;
• program configuration is stored and password protected;
• screen saver;
• functions of information transfer between sessions (clipboard - mark, paste).
