INTRODUCTION
============

FrontDoor Tiny Terminal, "FDTT" hereafter, is a very small and compact
TTY terminal emulator for DOS. FDTT does not support any emulation
protocols, nor does it feature any file-transfer protocols. The sole
function of FDTT is to provide a bare-bones, yet efficient, tool that
allows modems to be configured and verified.

FDTT requires that a FOSSIL driver is installed and available for use.


USAGE
=====

To use FDTT, you must supply the program with at least two parameters
on its command-line; the port number with which FDTT should attempt to
communicate, and a DTE (BPS) rate/speed.

The format of the FDTT command-line is as follows:

  FDTT /p<port> /b<DTE rate> [/notfixed]

where <port> is any number in the range 1-255. <DTE rate> is one of
300, 1200, 2400, 9600, 19200, and 38400. The optional (not required)
/notfixed parameter tells FDTT that the FOSSIL driver has NOT locked
the port. This parameter will rarely need to be used since most multi-
speed modems with support for speeds above 9600 BPS typically require
the port to be locked.

To load FDTT for use with port 2 at 38400 BPS, the following should be
specified:

  FDTT /p2 /b38400



BAUDRATES
=========

The reason for the /b parameter being limited to the above mentioned
values is that the FOSSIL driver specifications do not allow for any
higher baudrates. Most FOSSIL drivers allows the port to be locked at
57600 and 115200 BPS (or higher).

For environments where the port has been locked, it is recommended
that FDTT be used with a /b parameter of 38400 (i.e. /b38400). When
the FOSSIL driver is instructed to set the port speed to 38400 by
FDTT, it will ignore it and instead set the port speed to whatever its
locked setting is.
