- ECU (Extended Call Utility) is a personal and research communications
- program originally written for users of SCO UNIX V.3.2/386 and XENIX V
- on 80286 and 80386 systems. Support for other systems has been added
- and further porting is possible with "minor" effort to other systems
- based on or similar to UNIX System V.
-
- ECU provides the classic terminal communications facility of passing
- keyboard data to a serial line and incoming data to the computer video
- display. In addition, a dialing directory, a function key mapping
- feature, and session logging are available.
-
- A very flexible procedure (script) language is also incorporated to
- automate many communications tasks. In addition to augmenting
- interactive tasks, by using shell scripts and ECU procedures, ECU can
- perform batch-style communications sessions in an entirely "unattended"
- fashion.
-
- ECU presents to the host a flexible "ANSI" terminal type, accepting any
- valid video control sequences from MS-DOS or SCO documentation as of
- late 1990. It also fares well, though imperfectly, with Sun and VT-100
- in-band video control sequences. Standards are great: everybody should
- have one, especially if they call it "ANSI."
-
- The program supports almost any local terminal (console) which can be
- described in a termcap database entry. For more information, refer to
- "Supported Terminals."
-
- ECU supports numerous file transfer protocols: as of this writing,
- XMODEM, XMODEM/CRC, XMODEM-1K, YMODEM/CRC Batch, ZMODEM/CRC-16,
- ZMODEM/CRC-32, Kermit and SEAlink are supported.
