LOGGING ON: Our next step will be to delve into the "Logon" process. This will be our first look at actually interacting with the BBS. First thing's first..let's look at a theoretical flowchart for getting logged in: LOGIN PROCESS 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Yes 旼컴컴컴컴� � Mailer Running? 쳐컴컴컴컴컴컴컴>Send ESC � 읕컴컴컴컫컴컴컴컴� 읕컴컴쩡컴� No �<컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 旼컴컴컴v컴컴컴� Yes 旼컴컴컴컴� �"More" Prompt?쳐컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴>Send CR � 읕컴컴컴쩡컴컴켸<� 읕컴컫컴컴� No � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 旼컴컴컴훩컴컴컴컴컴커 Yes 旼컴컴컴컴커 � First Name Prompt? 쳐컴컴컴컴컴�>Send Fname� 읕컴컴컴컫컴컴컴컴컴켸 읕컴컴컫컴켸 �<컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 旼컴컴컴훩컴컴컴컴커 Yes 旼컴컴컴컴커 � Last Name Prompt?쳐컴컴컴컴컴컴�>Send Lname� 읕컴컴컴컫컴컴컴컴켸 읕컴컴쩡컴켸 �<컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 旼컴컴컴훩컴컴컴컴컴커 Yes 旼컴컴컴컴커 � Password Prompt? 쳐컴컴컴컴컴캑Send PWord� 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 읕컴컴쩡컴켸 <컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 ------------------- Note: The items in the blocks represent *examples* of things you might need to handle on a BBS. Each BBS will have its own requirements as far as "mailer" or "More prompt?" or "Read Bulletin?" prompt. There are likely to be other prompts you'll need to handle as well. Tailor your scripts for the boards you call. Continued in Lesson 5b.. Jim
