This directory contains script files used by Eudora to make serial
connections (dialup e.g.) to SFU. To use these scripts you must move
the one(s) you need to your Preferences folder in your System Folder.
If you are still using system 6, then move them to your System Folder.
The Special menu in Eudora will contain a popup menu listing all the
scripts you have installed. You must select the appropriate one for
the type of connection you are making.

The scripts currently available are:

************************************************************************

Standard SFU Dialup Script - This script is used when you dialup to
the SFU modems or when making a direct connection in your office
through a Gandalf Blue Box or direct connection to the Annex. Once the
settings for the Serial Tool or Modem Tool are set correctly,
connections will be made with no action needed on your part except to
turn on your Blue Box if that is the type of connection you are using.

************************************************************************

Datapac Script - This script is used when you are dialing up through
Datapac. The Datapac connection is made through a VAX computer, and
you must have an ID on this computer to use this facility. You will
have to make sure that Eudora knows both your ID and your password for
the VAX. You do this as follows:

  - If your VAX id is the same as your POP id (as it usually will be)
then you need to do nothing. Otherwise, enter your VAX id in the
Dialup Username field of the Configuration window.

  - If your VAX password is the same as your POP password, then you
need to do nothing. Otherwise you will be prompted for your VAX
password when Eudora first tries to connect. Eudora will remember the
password until you quit and restart Eudora. If you have checked the
Save Password item in the Switches window, then the next time Eudora
makes a connection, it will save your VAX password as it has your POP
password.

*************************************************************************

Telenet Script - Telenet is an American equivalent to Datapac. The
connection is, in fact, routed through Datapac and you should set
things up as described above for the Datapac Script.

*************************************************************************

Direct Connect Unix Script - This script is used when you are
connecting, either via dialup with a modem or through a direct serial
connection, to a Unix machine. The script will attempt to log you onto
the Unix machine and then connect to the POP and SMTP servers from
there.  The script will attempt to get through any Unix login prompts
(such as a prompt for a terminal type) by responding with ctrl-c and a
carriage return. If this will not work with your setup, then this
script may have to be modified to work in your situation. You must
have an ID on the Unix machine you are connecting to. You will have to
make sure that Eudora knows both your ID and your password for that
Unix machine. You do this as follows:

  - If your Unix id is the same as your POP id then you need to do
nothing. Otherwise, enter your Unix id in the Dialup Username field of
the Configuration window.

  - If your Unix password is the same as your POP password, then you
need to do nothing. Otherwise you will be prompted for your Unix
password when Eudora first tries to connect. Eudora will remember the
password until you quit and restart Eudora. If you have checked the
Save Password item in the Switches window, then the next time Eudora
makes a connection, it will save your Unix password as it has saved
your POP password.

  - By default the script will look for a prompt with a percent sign
(%) in it as a signal that it is at the point where Unix is ready and
Eudora can connect to the POP or SMTP server. If the Unix prompt on
your machine does not contain a percent sign, the script will
eventually time out and connect anyway, but this may take some time.
You can speed things up in this case by specifying some string of text
that is contained in your Unix prompt (note that it doesn't have to be
the entire prompt, just some substring of the prompt). You specify
this string in the Dialup Username field of the Configuration window,
separating it from your Unix id with a colon (:). If you don't want to
specify your Unix id but still want to specify a prompt string, then
just enter a colon followed by the prompt string. For example, if my
Unix id is ray and the Unix prompt string contains my id, I would put
the following string in the Dialup Username field:

        ray:ray

*************************************************************************

UDIAL script - This script is used when using the BC Systems UDIAL
service. To use this service you need a UDIAL account and password.
You must put your UDIAL account name in the Dialup Username field of
the Configuration window. The script will prompt you for your UDIAL
password the first time it tries to make a connection. If you have
selected Remember Password in the Switches window then the script will
remember your UDIAL password each time you run Eudora. If you have not
selected Remember Password, then you will be prompted for your UDIAL
password the first time a connection is made after you rerun Eudora.
