What is a TMS file? A TMS file is a script used by Telemate, a DOS-based communications program popular in the 1980s and 1990s. It contains a series of plain-text commands that automate interactions with remote systems, such as logging in, navigating menus, or sending files. Telemate primarily used these scripts to simplify repetitive tasks when connecting to bulletin board systems (BBS) or other dial-up services over a modem.

More Information In the 1980s and 90s, Telemate users created and edited TMS scripts to automate specific connections, enter usernames and passwords, or execute sequences of commands automatically. The scripts made it easier for hobbyists, system operators, and early Internet users to manage multiple BBS connections without having to type commands manually each time. NOTE: The TMS format is now considered legacy, as Telemate and dial-up BBS systems are largely obsolete.

How to open a TMS file

You can open TMS files with Telemate. However, the software is discontinued. Since the files store plain text, you can also open, view, and edit them with a text editor, although editing requires knowledge of Telemate's scripting commands to function correctly.
