PLEASE! ****** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MiniNet BBS Software ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Be advised that the Franchise is a separate package (from the MiniNet software) and is quite expensive as it includes ongoing support, full MiniNet(s) access, unlimited free MiniNet software/support files updates, a full image copy (600+ megs/1200 diskettes, all 0 bytes free and all ARC'ed) of this system's files data base, and a number of other desireable features. The MiniNet Software package by itself, includes the software, all Sysop utilities, display screens and support files (152 in all) and 24 hour a day online support in setup, maintenance and operation via Underdog's MiniNet Headquarters Seattle, Wa. At one time, MiniNet was fully comapatible to Fido NetMail but I decided to break that connection after experiencing several attempts to crash the system via NetMail. There is a DOS Access built into MiniNet... and, it is possible to bring up a copy of Fido to do FidoNet in the alloted mail time slot.. on the same token, you could configure RBBS Doorware and PCBoard Doorware to operate via the DOS Access. In most cases, all that is required is the RBBS and/or PCBoard configuration files. As I prefer to release customized versions of MiniNet, I would be open to making (minor) modifications to the software to suit your needs... there are several desireable features to MiniNet that make it worth consideration... Here are only a few of the many MiniNet features: It only requires 150K to run including the DOS shell for the external transfer protocols! This allows you full access to your system (via TaskView multitasker) to run personal applications while the system operates in the background! Built in file locking so that you can operate multiple MiniNet systems under TaskView multitasker (and still have enough memory left over for your personal system access!) Extensive user security/access/accounting processes with full SysOp intervention while user is online. Separate conference areas each with a separate, private, files section (capable of 6 files sub-sections within that one section). TOTAL System Security with extensive user monitoring via log files and automatic daily statistics tabulations made at Midnight each night. 24 hour DogNet Mail capabilities handled from within the main BBS system (no front-end processor or Net Mail time slot required). 4 different menu/display modes with FULL MutilColor support at ALL system prompts and displays using ANSI control "goto" statements to speed up displays. 14 files transfer protocols - all of which are accessed from the main BBS code (do not require the use of a protocol DOOR). Automatic Multi-File transfer capabilities - by keyboard input for non K9X users and K9X.LST input for K9X users. Command ganging of 7 or more commands at one system prompt supplying total efficiency for experienced users. Sophisticated FULL function files data base (not simple text files) that facilitates super fast searches and retievals. With 1,000,000+ entry capacity. Sophisticated FULL function User Record Data Base that maintains both ACTIVE and INACTIVE user indeces for super fast user ID retrieval and unlimited User data base size. Built in ARC list member and view member features - with full user account debiting. A full set of Sysop Utilities that automate almost all of the normal SysOp functions... keeping system maintenance to a minimum. Full DOS directory support with super-fast filefinding capabilities. Hard disk support for the DOS limit (C..Z) with no megabyte limits (this MiniNet system operates with 11 hard disks / 800+ megabytes total). MiniNet Version 18.00 is in BETA test now... Here's a breakdown of what's new: Added 9600/19200 bps support - with "Lock Init Baud" flag. (USR HST allows port init at 19200 bps and locking the port at the init speed with the modem adjusting to user connect baud rate). Added dialy download K limit - (so 9600 baud users don't eat you out of house and home)! Added Offline Test mode (no comm port access) for background Sysop maintenance under Multitasker. Added command line parameter support to define operation varaibles. (Comm Port, Node, Daily K, Lock Baud, Null Modem, Test Mode, etc.) Added Null Modem Support for inter machine access via null modem cable. Added DSZ Batch Upload/Download of upto 24 files. Added DSZ True Ymodem Batch (same 24 files limit) Added a new Xmodem/Ymodem/WXmodem/K9Xmodem driver which handles both single file and Batch up/downloads - bringing protocol support to 14 (plus the K9X autodownload feature)! Added files list editor during Batch uploads - allows for manual input or Ascii Upload of a files list. User may use a standard BBS type list... in which case, MiniNet will extract the name and description from each line. Added full type-ahead buffering when user input is expected... reverting back to C=Abort/S=Pause during system display scrolling. Added H)ang Up option at all system prompts. This gives the user a quick disconnect option from anywhere on the system. Changed the new user logon to display the APPLY text file and then prompt user if he/she wishes to register of hangup. Expanded number of conferences to 9 - made number sysop defineable Optimized the code (again!) - the system only requires 140K including the external protocols! Added special message header formatting for color/fancy color users which uses ANSI Cursor positioning rather than streaming out spaces. Added special stationary files listings for color/fancy color users which uses ANSI Cursor positioning to display file listings without scrolling. Modified the ARC list/view function so that the user may list an ARC and view text files continuously without having to recall the main files listing. Additionally, MiniNet monitors the user security versus the file security. Users may view text files within an ARC only if his/her security is equal to or higher than that of the file. Changed format for Quick Scan messages so displaying about 12 msg headers per screen as opposed to the old 3 headers per screen Correceted a problem in the node mail feature - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - MiniNet is perhaps the most sophisticated BBS package available to date. If you haven't seen the MiniNet system in action, I cordially invite you to give the Dog a call and check it out for yourself! The MiniNet Software package by itself, includes the software, all Sysop utilities, display screens and support files (152 in all) and 24 hour a day online support in setup, maintenance and operation via Underdog's MiniNet Headquarters Seattle, Wa. The BBS Package Price (non franchise) is $395.00 and, for a limited time, this price includes the TaskView multitasking package...
