HOSTEX_LINEMODE Data Type

The HOSTEX_LINEMODE data type specifies how HostExplorer stores characters in a buffer until you send a carriage return to the host. When enabled, Line mode forces HostExplorer to send characters one line at a time rather than as individual characters. Using line mode is useful when you are trying to reduce costs on networks that charge per packet or when you are experiencing long network delays. By default, this data type is set to HOSTEX_LINEMODE_DONTDOLINEMODE.

It has the following values:

Value	Definition
HOSTEX_LINEMODE_DONTDOLINEMODE	Disables Line mode.
HOSTEX_LINEMODE_ALWAYS	Enables Line mode continuously.
HOSTEX_LINEMODE_DURINGLOCALECHO	Enables Line mode when the host tells HostExplorer to do the echoing.
HOSTEX_LINEMODE_WHENNOTINSGA	Enables Line mode when the host does not Suppress Go Ahead (SGA).
HOSTEX_LINEMODE_LOCALECHOORNOTSGA	Enables Line mode when the host tells HostExplorer to do the echoing or when the host does not SGA.
HOSTEX_LINEMODE_RFCOMPLIANT	Enables compliance with Telnet RFC specifications.
