Password and Remote Port Settings
Chatboard and MyPhone do not require a password.
For the other functions such as Screen, Time, Clipboard and
Minirem itself
a password is recommended.
This is the Password that is set in MiniRem.exe on the remote
PC.
The default Minirem password at installation time is an empty
string "".
The password can be remotely modified using Minicom/ Setup
Minirem.
( as long as you have the right password :-) )
The Remote Port setting is default 2600.
During installation, if another program is using this port
Minirem will automatically increment the port until it finds a
free one. It will then advise you of the new port.
DialUp Link
Select this to show the modem dial up dialogue at connection
time.
TCP-IP or IPX/SPX
Select which protocol to use for the connection to this PC.
Checkout Control Panel/ Network to see which protocols are
installed.
For IPX/ SPX connections set the
Network and Node Number.
These are in hexadecimal format eg.
Network Number "0000000C" and Node Number
"00C0DF4567DD".
Check the Network Number in Control Panel/ Network/ NWLink
protocol details.
Use winipcfg.exe to get the Node Number.
For TCP-IP connections Minicom can
connect just using the name of the remote PC.
Settings specific to Screen command mode.
In this mode you can disable or enable the remote host PCs
screen, keyboard and mouse, remote cursor echo, and access by
other users of Minicom.
For NT4 systems disabling the remote host PCs screen,
keyboard and mouse is not available.
Also for other operating systems, various screen savers and
configurations such as UBS devices can interfere with the disabling
of screen, keyboard and mouse.
