Q: When I dial, the modem says CONNECT and I get a Connection Complete
   message. To wake the remote host up, I first hit Enter a few times.
   But the host soon hangs up, apparently seeing a dead line. What's
   wrong?

A: Try setting <nl mode> in the Set console. The Seyon default is to
   send a \n when you press Enter. Many hosts expect a \r; you get
   that when <nl mode> is selected.

   (contributed by Sakari Aaltonen, <[e-mail]>)

   NOTE: starting from version 1.5, the defaults is to enable NL->CR
   translation.

=======================================

Q: In the 'Set' console, which color means that the parameter is
   active?

A: Black means active, otherwise inactive.

=======================================

Q: How do I send an initialization string to my modem.

A: put the command

       transmit "AT(whatever)^M"

   in Seyon's startup file. Most modern modems do not need an
   initialization string though, since they store their setup in
   non-volitile memory.

=======================================

Q: How do I tell the remote host about the size of my terminal window?
   I want the applications to take advantage of the lerger size.

A: If the remote host is a Unix machine (or any other machine that
   supports X-windows), issue the command 'resize' (if that doesn't
   help, try 'eval `resize`'. If the remote host is a BBS, set the
   page length by the appropriate command (e.g. 'p' on a BBS running
   PCBoard).

=======================================

Q: What's this Xdefaults file you keep talking about?

A: It is usually named ~/.Xresources. If that doesn't exist. the
   Xserver uses the file ~/.Xdefaults. Do 'man X' to learn how to
   customize the resources in this file.

=======================================

Q: When I use 'Edit' to edit the phonelist or protocols files, the
   dialing directory and the transfer console do not reflect the
   changes I made, what's wrong?

A: You have to use 'Reread' to update the the dialing directory and
   the transfer console.

=======================================

Q: How do I make sz/rz work?

A: The following is from the readme file included with minicom. I used
   it, and it has always worked for me:

   If you are using a new version if Chuch Forsenberg's zmodem, it is
   possible that it will not run OK in a window. This is because the
   new versions *don't* use stdin and stdout, but without mercy they
   just open /dev/tty. Ai! I changed the following in the file
   "rbsb.c" and now things work allright. You might want to change
   this also.  Here is the particular function I'm talking about:

---------------------------------------
/* Line 336 */
/* Initialize tty device for serial 
   file xfer */
inittty()
{
#ifndef HVM
    Tty = open("/dev/tty", 2);
    if (Tty < 0) {
       perror("/dev/tty");  exit(2);
    }
#else
    Tty = 1;
#endif
    Ttystream = fdopen(Tty, "w");
    setbuf(Ttystream, xXbuf);        
}
---------------------------------------

   And to get the Logging output to the
   screen instead of to /tmp/szlog,
   change the following in sz.c :

---------------------------------------
if (npats < 1 && !Command && !Test) 
    usage();
if (Verbose) {
/* Line 403 of sz.c */
#ifndef HVM
    if (freopen(LOGFILE, "a", stderr)==NULL) {
        printf("Can't open log file %s\n",LOGFILE);
        exit(2);
    }
#endif
    setbuf(stderr, NULL);
}
vfile("%s %s for %s\n", Progname, VERSION, OS);
---------------------------------------

   You might want to change the same in the file "rz.c" also, around
   line 249.  It is now possible to use the -v[vv] flag with rz/sz and
   see the debugging output appear in the status window!

   You have to define 'HVM' to make the change effective, ofcourse!

   NOTE (for Seyon users): Once you have done that, use '$rz -vv' as
   your zmodem command (or '$sz -vv').

=======================================

Q: What are Seyon's configuration files? and where should they be put?

A: Those are 'startup', 'phonelist', and 'protocols'. Seyon looks for
   them in the current directory, then the default Seyon directory
   ('~/.seyon'), and finally in the user's home directory. The names
   of these files as well as that of the default directory can be
   overridden by setting the appropriate resources. Refer to that in
   another answer somewhere in this file.

=======================================

Q: Can I put the scripts somewhere else other than in my home
   directory?

A: Yes, use the resource 

        Seyon.scriptDirectory:

   (default is defaultDirectory). Seyon will look for scripts in the
   current directory, then in the script directory, and finally in the
   user's home directory.

=======================================

Q: I'd like to start a local shell but I don't want to start another
   xterm, can I have a shell in the Seyon's terminal emulation window?

A: Yes, click the 'Shell' button and instead of giving it a usual
   shell command, use the name of your shell (i.e. tcsh, sh, ..etc).
   This will start the shell of your choice in the terminal window.

=======================================

Q: Do I have to specify the BITS and BPS fileds for each entry in the
   phonelist directory?

A: No. Seyon will use the default BPS rate and bit mask if none is
   specified in the phonelist entry.

=======================================

Q: Can I specify an alternate location and name for the help file?

A: You can, but it's highly discouraged unless you have no write
   permission to the default location (determined automatically at
   compile-time). Use the resource

            Seyon.helpFile:

   You have to specify the complete file path and name.

=======================================

Q: Seyon comes up tiny and with overlapping buttons, what's wrong?

A: The app-defaults file must be installed properly or Seyon will not
   function properly. Use 'make install' to install the app-defaults
   file in the proper place and make sure it is installed properly and
   is not corrupt.

=======================================

Q: I get 'killed by siganl 11' when I start seyon.

A: You must be using old versions of libraraies. Test that by using

            ldd seyon-cmd

   This will tell you what libraries you have linked Seyon with. If
   you get anything other than

      /lib/XawVen.so.2.1 (Classic 2.1)
      /lib/libX11.so.2.1 (Classic 2.1)
      /lib/libc.so.4 (Jump table 4.1)

   it's time to upgrade to newer libraries.

   (This question is for linux only, for platforms it may be a bug.
   Report it.)

=======================================

Q: How does the dialer work?

A: Click on an item to toggles it. Once you have selected all the
   items you want, click on 'Go'. The dialer will dial each number
   until a connection is made. once a connection is made, that item is
   unselected automatically. Double-clicking on an item will select
   that item, unselect all others, and dial that item. You can
   interrupt the dialing or the script execution at any time by
   chossing 'Cancel'. 'Can. & hangup' will additionally hangup the
   line.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: How do I use pulse dialing?

A: Use the resources. Set

       Seyon.dialPrefix: ATDP

   There is also a simialr resource: dialSuffix.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: How can I setup the ZMODEM autodownload feature or disable it?

THIS ANSWER IS WRONG, READ THE MANUAL

A: Via the resources. The resource

     Seyon.zmodemAutoDownload: off

   will disable it (default is 'on'). The resource

   Seyon.zmodemAutoDownloadCommand: $cd /usr/dl; rz -vv

   tells Seyon what command to use to for ZMODEM (default is 'rz').
   The format of the command is the same as that of the shell and
   transfer commands.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Does Seyon support the V32 protocol?

A: V32 is not a software protocol, it is used at the hardware level by
   the modem to communicate with modems at the remote end. Hence, it
   is transparent to comm programs, and they have nothing to do with
   it.

   This is along the lines of "your modem will talk to my modem at the
   best speed and level they can. How yor modem talks to your computer
   is your business" (See above)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: How do I turn off the 'fun' messages or make them less frequent?

A: The resource

           Seyon.showFunMessages: off

   will turn them off (default is 'on'). The resource

        Seyon.funMessagesInterval: 30

   specifies that the messages should appear every 15 seconds (unless
   Seyon has something more important to say, like a real message).
   Default interval is 1 minute.

=======================================

Q: How can tell seyon what port to use?

A: There are two ways to do that:

   1) Specify it in your Xdefaults file, something like:
             
             Seyon.modems: /dev/ttys0

   2) Invoke Seyon by the the switch -modems, e.g.
             
             seyon -modems /dev/ttys0

=======================================

Q: How can I control the bahavior of the terminal emulation winow?

A: You can do that via the resources of the vt100 widget of xterm. he
   following is an example of what you can put in your Xdefaults file:

     Seyon.vt100.foreground: black
     Seyon.vt100.background: white
     Seyon.vt100.geometry: 80x25+50+250
     Seyon.vt100.saveLines: 100
                        .            
                        .
                        .

   Refer to the xterm manual page for the full set of the resources.

=======================================

Q: The resourecs I put in my Xdefaults file do not seem to work, why?

A: You have to use xrdb to load the resourecs or restart your X
   server.  Also, you have to use the class name 'Seyon' and not the
   instance 'seyon' in your Xdefaults file.

=======================================

Q: How shoud the protocols file be formatted?

A: Here is an example:

    regu_zm_dl  "$ cd /dl; rz -vv" n
    "reg zm ul" "$sz -vv"          y
    graphic_zm_dl grz              No
    xrz3D       $cd /dl; xrz"      NO

   The first fiel
