INTRODUCTION

 This archive is a handy set of 5 rexx scripts to control TimeConnect through Miami,
 which is very very handy to control your costs and time on the Internet (give it a try!)


INSTALLATION

 Just run the Install script (it won't bite ya!).
 The Install script will make a "Miami:rexx" dir, copy the rexx files to that location,
 open your text editor so you alter the miami:rexx/LaunchTC.mrx file (you need to change the TC path
 according to your setup), and finally launch multiview so you read this...

 After this you must run Miami and alter the "Events" options like this:
 (NOTE: Only registered Miami's support this)

  *Start*                               *End*

  ARexx Miami:rexx/LaunchTC.mrx         ARexx Miami:rexx/QuitTC.mrx
   ^     ^
   |     |__ String
   |                                    *passive Offline*
   |__ PopUp
                                        ARexx Miami:rexx/Stop.mrx
  Keep GUI
   ^
   |__ PopUp

                                        *failed Online attempt*
  *active Offline*
                                        You can leave this one empty...
  ARexx Miami:rexx/Stop.mrx

  Keep GUI


  *Online*

  ARexx Miami:rexx/Start.mrx

  Hide GUI              beep

 NOTE: These GUI options are prefered if you use Miami to connect, without the aid of a connection
 toggler script, in tht case, the "Start" GUI is better with "Hide GUI"... but hey, these are just my
 prefered settings ;)


WHAT, YOU ALREADY HAD SOME EVENTS GADGETS WITH OTHER SCRIPTS? HEY! NO PROBLEMO!!

 Simply make an AmigaDOS script with a text editor, and put all the rexx files you want in there, for example,
 if you want to both run Start.mrx and IconifyTC.mrx when Miami gets Online (pretty handy):

 --- top of file ---

 sys:rexxc/rx miami:rexx/start.mrx
 sys:rexxc/rx miami:rexx/iconifytc.mrx

 --- bottom of file ---

 And then alter the PopUp to "Shell" and not "ARexx" remember that...


PHONE RATES FILES FOR TIMECONNECT

 Portuguese phone rates are available in another file I made: TC_Portugal.lha (comm/misc)
 For others contact the author or search in Aminet.


PORTUGUESE SETTINGS FOR MIAMI

 Another archive I made up: Miami_Portugal.lha (comm/net)
 Just load it in Miami and add your login name and password (for the Telepac ISP).
