Log Functions

All logging functions are found under the File menu. To start keeping a log, select
Log to Disk from the File menu. The other options on this menu are View Disk Log,
Clear Disk Log, Clear Screen, and Exit.

Using Peer

To use peer, simply type in commands at the : prompt. (It may be necessary to
press Enter to make the : prompt appear.) For example, to examine COM5, type:
PORT COM5

To gather some information about the port, type: STAT . This should
return details about the port.

To turn on monitoring of any calls into driver (events), type: MON EV

To send strings and commands to attached peripherals—for example, to send
“ATH0” to a modem—type: SEND ATH0 . A return and linefeed are always
appended to each string sent.

Other Peer
Commands

Enter commands at the : prompt and follow each command with Enter.

Keep in mind that all commands are processed in the device driver, and that Peer
simply acts as a conduit for this information.

For more information, see the Peer.hlp help file.
