       Interactive EMSI
       ------------------------------------------------------------

       Interactive  EMSI (IEMSI) is a protocol which can be used by
       communications software to  establish certain parameters for
       an interactive session, for  example a user logging on  to a
       bulletin board.  The only BBS  software to  support IEMSI at
       this time is RemoteAccess 1.10.

       From within the Terminal setup utility,  the user can define
       a number of user  "profiles", each of which includes  a user
       name, handle, password, telephone number, location etc. When
       IEMSI is enabled from within the terminal and the user calls
       a RemoteAccess  BBS, the user's  information is sent  to the
       BBS automatically.

       This  makes it possible for a  user (the "client") to log on
       to a BBS (the "server")  without even touching the keyboard.
       The terminal and RemoteAccess will   automatically  exchange
       information such as software name and version number, screen
       parameters and local time.

       One  useful  feature  is  the   ability  of  the  server  to
       temporarily modify  the user's  display  parameters for  the
       current  session only.  For  example, normally  when a  user
       calls  a particular  BBS  he/she  might  use  25  line  mode
       locally, so  the "screenlength"  field in his/her  record is
       set  to  25 accordingly.  However,  on  one occasion  he/she
       activates the terminal   in   50   line  mode.  RemoteAccess
       will   recognise this and set   the screen length  to 50 for
       the  current session only, restoring it to 25 when the  user
       disconnects.     In    addition,       RemoteAccess     will
       automatically activate whatever terminal emulations  both it
       and the client supports.

       Another benefit is the ability  to chat to a  users using  a
       full screen chat mode.   This  is accomplished  by the IEMSI
       remote terminal being able to maintain the chat screen.

       To  see if a  user is connected  in IEMSI mode  to your BBS,
       press F7. If IEMSI is active,  RemoteAccess will display the
       relevant information about the client's system on the status
       bar. At  the right hand  end of  the status  bar the  user's
       request flags  are displayed.  A request  flag is an  option
       that the  user  asked for.  RemoteAccess currently  supports
       these request flags:


            CHT : Split screen chat mode capability indicator
            CLR : Clear screen codes
           NEWS : Display the NEWS.A?? file
           MAIL : Check for new mail
           FILE : Check for new files
            HOT : Use hot-keys
           HUSH : Activate "do not disturb"
           FSED : Use the full screen message editor
