MODEMSTA LITE: A minimal modem status indicator for Win3 and Win95. ModemSta Lite is FREEWARE and may freely be distributed without restrictions. NO TECHNICAL SUPPORT! Version 1.0, Jan 27th 1996 (96-01-27). ===================================================================== Installation: Copy MLITE.EXE to a directory of Your choice. ===================================================================== Uninstall: Delete MLITE.EXE and MLITE.INI in the directory You placed it. ===================================================================== ModemSta Lite: What can it do for You? Win3: ModemSta Lite places a modem icon on the desktop. Before a connection is established, data activity on a COM port is shown with BLUE lights. When connected, the lights will turn RED and data activity is shown with GREEN LIGHTS. By clicking with the LEFT MOUSE BUTTON on ModemSta Lite, You can select the comm port to be monitored, select Always-On-Top for the icon and also reach the HELP screen. Clicking with the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON takes You directly to the ABOUT Dialog. Win95: When using 32 bit comm programs, Win95 places a small modem icon in the SYSTEM TRAY (close to the clock) when connected, but not for 16 bit comm programs. ModemSta Lite fills this hole by placing a similar icon in the SYSTEM TRAY when a 16 bit comm program is connected. Data activity is shown by GREEN LIGHTS. By clicking with the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON on ModemSta Lite's icon in the task bar, You can select the comm port being detected and reach the HELP screen. ===================================================================== Note: ModemSta Lite uses the DCD (or CD) signal from the modem to detect if connected or not. A few modems always shows the DCD signal ON. The command AT&C1 can usually be given to the modem to activate the DCD detection, e.g. as a part of an init string for a dialer or a communication program. ********************************************************************* ABOUT THE SHAREWARE VERSION OF ModemSta: If You find ModemSta Lite useful, You should take a look at the full shareware version of ModemSta! ModemSta, the MODEM STATUS ICONIC INDICATOR, will help You to operate Your modem by showing a small animated icon replica or indicator display window (several formats available) of a typical modem's front panel. A number of handy functions has also been added such as modem init- ialization, logging of incoming calls and connections, additional status info, summary of all communications settings in DOS and Windows, generation of sound in parallel to or instead of the telephone's ring signal and at line connection events. The SPY functions in Win3 will show You the connect speed, dialed telephone #, true data rate and number of transmitted byte during the session. The status and activity of the parallel ports in Your system can also be monitored.
