NetSEX - Copyright 1989, 1990 Matt Logan. All files in this package must be included in any distribution with the exception of the USER.TXT file. ONLY the USER.TXT file may be distributed without the rest of the package. The files that should be in this package are: SETUP.TXT : This file NETS100.EXE : The NetSex Executable, version 1.00 NETS100.C : The C source to NetSEX, version 1.00 NET.H : Include file FIDO.H : Include file USER.TXT : User information FIDO.NET : A sample FIDO.NET file FIDO_NET.DOC : Documentation on the format of the FIDO.NET file *** Setting up NetSEX *** 1. Aquire a fidonet node number from your fidonet area coordinator. 2. Aquire a gateway node number by e-mailing 1@5317. In the message be sure to include your WWIV node number, your Fidonet Address, and your USENET address if you have one. 3. Create or edit the FIDO.NET file and place it in your wwiv DATA directory. 4. Place the NetSEX executable in your WWIV directory. 5. Run Netsex with one of the following parameter combinations: NETS.EXE \W ( Import messages from Fidonet to WWIVNET) NETS.EXE \F ( Export messages from WWIVNET to Fidonet) NETS.EXE \WF ( Import then Export ) NETS.EXE \FW ( Export then Import) NETS.EXE ( Default - Import then Export) If everything is set up correctly you should get a display of what messages are being processed and some totals. If there are errors in your FIDO.NET file NetSEX will print a messages telling what line is causing the trouble. Be sure to run NetSEX before and after ZMH (zone mail hour) if your Fidonet node networks only during ZMH. The current convention for gatewayed subs is to use sub numbers in the range of 600-799. Even sub numbers are used for USENET News Groups and Odd sub numbers are used for Fidonet EchoMail areas. Sub 600 is the NetSEX support sub, To join send e-mail to 1@7400 requesting that you be added. The file USER.TXT that is included with this package is intended to be a reference for BBS users who would like to take advantadge of a NetSEX gateway. I would suggest having this file downloadable or availiable under WWIV's GFILES area. Send questions, comments, or digitized sound samples of heavy breathing to: USENET: matt@jove.cs.pdx.edu WWIVNET: 1@5317 NetSEX is an ongoing project intended to make WWIVNET more accessible to the outside world and vice versa. Thank you for your effort in this project.
