WHAT IS DIFFERENT FROM TONELOC I. Differences between THC-SCAN and TONELOC II. How to change from TONELOC to THC-SCAN III. How to change from THC-SCAN to TONELOC I. Differences between THC-SCAN and TONELOC =========================================== Commandline Options: -------------------- SAME as TONELOC : , /M, /X, /R, /D /# /H /S /E /Q CHANGED : TONELOC THC-SCAN /K -> /C for carrier scanning /C -> /! specify an alternate CFG File ONLY IN TONELOC /C- and /T- I think there is no use for them. ONLY IN THC-SCAN /A + /B turns the autonom/manual mode on/off (read THC-SCAN.DOC for infos) /* dials only special specified ID types from the DATFILE. /& Debug Mode, all modem output is also written into MODEM.LOG /N Disable Effects (Screen Scroll up/down etc.) /O Scanning through an modem outdial /= Blank Screen automatically on Startup /W: For Windows & OS/2 detection and time slicing /LCD For LCD/Hercules Monitors /P: Creates a directory and writes all logs and dats into it @ Scan all numbers specified in Textfile read THC-SCAN.DOC for details. Options /r /d /x may be used up to 10 times on command line in THC-SCAN, in TONELOC up to 9 times. (who cares) Scanning: --------- THC-SCAN has got everyting TONELOC has got - 'cause TONELOC is very very good but now a bit out of date (and didn't work correct on my computer! that's the reason I programmed that one). So i'll only mention keys that changed and then what is enhanced/new. NOT IN THC-SCAN N - Note a number (but you can also do this with CUSTOM) 0-9 - Change Modem Speaker volume CHANGED : TONELOC THC-SCAN A - Load alternate screen ALTA- Alarm (Alternate Screen) B - Blank Screen ALTB- Blank Screen J - Jump to DOS AltJ- Jump to DOS K - Write a (K)omment :-) S - (S)ave a Comment ;-) S - Modem Speaker on/off ALTS- Modem Speaker on/off ENHANCED : P - Pause : Now you can enter some commands like continue, redial, next and hangup. S - Save comment - better edit options. NEW : D - Drop-X I - Interesting Voice ID M - Redial & use autonom/manual mode this call only O - normal vOice ID U - Unused Number ID 1-3 - Custom 1-3 ID (can be precisely defined in CFG) 4-5 - SECONDARY ID : identify as CCiTT #4 or CCiTT #5 line (for blueboxers) 6-0 - SECONDARY ID : identify country of number (6=europe, 7=usa etc.) ? - Help screen for keys to use (online, 8 pages) + - like X, extend timeout for 5 seconds for this call only - - decrease timeout for 5 seconds for this call only Ctrl-+ - increase ringout by 1 for this call only Ctrl-- - decrease ringout by 1 for this call only - Select some of the last 20 dialed numbers to be dialed again. - Enter Manual Dial Mode (if redial+manual set or Autonom mode=on) N and Next Number without changing the ID - Reset Number to UnDialed AltC- Comment-everything-switch AltD- Enter Dial Menu AltM- Mode Menu Switch AltN- Stop redialing busy numbers until end of scan AltO- Option Menu AltT- Enter Terminal (full terminal implemented) AltU- Update Datfile (Save) F1-F8 - Execute a program specified in CFG plus behavior and variables. NEW FEATURES : When an incoming call comes, a window pops up with the message INCOMING CALL and waits until RINGs stop. Plus option for Answering with modem etc. Even if you get a NO CARRIER, THC-SCAN detects that as a carrier, Toneloc doesn't ... Configuring : ------------- NOT IN THC-SCAN : No Blacklist (for what use is this ... you can use -D or -X online Parameters from THC-SCAN up to 10 times each ... ) CHANGED : Easy Modem Initialisation. No use for characters like "|!~^<>" etc. NEW FEATURES : More Responses can be defined More Log Files can be defined Automatic Identification is much enhanced (f.e. VOICE response, and no ring is a VMB etc.) Execute Programs on F1 to F8 with behaviour etc. Auto-Execute Programs when Response IDs are recognized More Hacking functions for Carriers Redial Busy numbers in random scan mode Use a Step Rate when scanning sequentiell up/down (f.e. every 5th number) Real DATA Autodetect mode. Not just a silly parity stripping. plus much, much, much more ! (Read HISTORY.DOC to get an overview) Known Problems : ---------------- PROBLEMS IN THC-SCAN If you execute a program while scanning (Jump2Dos, Executing over F1-F8 keys etc.) then the computer will freeze if the modem returns some output. Solution : Run the "x00.exe 2 e" driver before running THC-SCAN and everything will work fine. PROBLEMS IN TONELOC On some computers the modem initialisation does not work (on mine f.e. !) On some computers it crashs directly A bit outdated ... not very flexible if something other doesn't work on your computer with either program it's more likely that you didn't configure everything correct! ---------------------------------------------------------------- There are some more features and enhancements in THC-SCAN but it is very difficult to remember everything ... so check it out ;-) Another IMPORTANT difference between THC-SCAN and TONLOC : The two programmers of TONELOC are in jail. I'm not. So this scanner can be enhanced. If you tell me. II. How to change from TONELOC to THC-SCAN ========================================== If you did any batch files you can keep them and use them with THC-SCAN. Read Section I to take a note of the options with another parameter and the new ones. You can convert the DAT Files of TONELOC with DAT-CONV.EXE. It autodetects TL Format and converts to TS. Print out the Online Keys and put them beside the keyboard until you got them in your head. Read the Documentation to check what are THC-SCAN's other possibilities & modes. Run TS-CFG to create your Config File. Then ya can start. III. How to change from THC-SCAN to TONELOC =========================================== If you did any batch files, check Section 1 to see what is not supported from Toneloc and what paramters got another name. You can convert the DAT Files of THC-SCAN with DAT-CONV.EXE. It autodetects TS Format and converts to TL. Remember NOT to try all the fine commands & keys possible in THC-SCAN .... they are not implemented into TONELOC ! Run TLCFG to create your Config File.
