tkusr(1)

NAME

tkusr - X11 tool to manage the Self-mode of USR/3COM Mes

sage modems.

SYNOPSIS

tkusr

DESCRIPTION

tkusr is a is a small Tcl/Tk program that allows the play

ing of messages and retreiving of faxes stored on USRobotics /

3Com message modems.

Features:

- Compatible with Message (Plus) and Professional US

Robotics / 3COM modems

- Intelligent retrieving of data with a cache system to

speed up the download. So you do not have to download the full

memory to get only one fax.

- View the list of fax or voice messages stored in your

modem's flash

- Play any voice message including outgoing messages.

- View a fax with the built-in G3 decoder (written in

pure Tcl !)

- Print a fax (display it and then click on the print

button)

- Save a fax with one G3 file for each page (right click

an entry)

- Save a voice message as a GSM file (right click an en

try)

- Upload GSM File / Record outgoing messages

- Support for most settings of Message modems

You can use g32pbm(1), g32ps(1), kfax(1), gimp(1) to con

vert the saved fax data, and zgsmplay(1) to play a saved message.

In order to upload messages you need to make GSM files, so use

sox(1) or toast(1) from the 'gsm' package.

You can modify some variables of 'proc init' in tkusr.tcl:

device(device):

the device file to open (e.g. /dev/modem)

device(initstring):

the modem's initialisation string

DebugSetLevel:

set to 1+ if you want to debug the modem chat

OPTIONS

No command line options.

Miscellaneous notes

If no GUI appears when you run tkusr, then the modem's se

rial port is probably locked by another process. Find that pro

cess with a 'fuser /dev/modem' and kill (or close) it.

As I've seen strange core dumps when Tk 8.0 tries to open

the serial port device, if you have any problem install Tk 8.3.
