TkUsr

Latest version: 0.70





TkUsr is a small Tcl/Tk program that allows the playing of messages and retreiving of faxes stored on USRobotics / 3Com message modems. *** Screenshoot here ***

Features
- Compatible with Message (Plus) and Professional USRobotics / 3COM modems
- Intelligent retrieving of data with a cache system to speed up the download. So you do not have to download the full memory to get only one fax.
- View the list of fax or voice messages stored in your modem's flash
- Play any voice message including outgoing messages.
- View a fax with the built-in G3 decoder (written in pure Tcl !)
- Save a fax with one G3 file for each page (right click an entry)
- Save a voice message as a GSM file (right click an entry)
- Upload GSM File / Record outgoing messages
- Support for most settings of Message modems
