                      Hot Tips for use of CallBack Door!
                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        Here is a list of "hot tips" I have received from either my
  beta testers or registered users.  Through trial and error sysops 
  have come up with some ingenious ways to run the door as  well as 
  noticed a few common user misconceptions.   I will try to  update 
  this list with each release to help others who may want to stream
  line their own CallBack Door setup.

        1.  Some users try to set their comm program to HOST mode
        to receive the callback.  If you notice this you may want
        to edit one of the info screens to suggest otherwise.

        2.  If you are one who  doesn't actually use all the info
        you extract from the new user in the form of NEWQUEST, it
        is recommended that you make use of a shorter NEWQUEST.

        One which simply gets the users name  and then sends them 
        through the door might suffice.   You may also choose not
        to ask ANY questions and just use NEWQUEST as a means  of 
        displaying  extra new user info  and then just  send them
        straight through.

        3.  Make sure that your GAP configuration  allows the new
        user to enter a door.   It is suggested that you set your
        primary door access level to 1  below your new user level
        and then use DOORS.DAT to specify the higher levels.

        4.  Keep in mind that the door will allow multiple copies
        of most of the information displays.

        5.  The enhanced version of GAPPACK  (for registered door
        users) will NOT be able to  pack out any names  that have
        been deleted manually by the sysop.   If you wish to pack
        out users who have failed  verification,  you may want to
        run GAPPACK with a low security level indicated. This way
        it will protect your regular users  but delete the others
        in both you GAP database and the doors.

        An example:  If your unverified level  was set to 10  and 
        you wanted to delete all users at that level, you can use 
        these parameters with GAPPACK.

        GAPPACK C:\GAP\MAIN\USERS.DAT U Y 1 11

        This would purge all  users with a level less then 11 who 
        haven't called in the last day. The Y could be a N if you 
        didn't want to delete you locked out users.

        6.  Most of the users of CallBack have found it desirable
        to set up the door to allow call back verification of ALL
        users regardless of long distance or zone status.  In the
        case of my own board this has at the most only cost me an
        extra 5 or 6 dollars a month.

        7.  If you wish to allow people NOT to enter CallBack, it
        is a good idea to ask them,  "Do you wish to use CallBack
        Door for automatic upgrade?(Y/N)" in the NEWQUEST Script.
        This would allow the user to try CallBack at a later time
        or request a manual  upgrade.  It might be  late at night
        when they call and they  might not want the phone to ring
        or they  may be calling from a switch  network that would
        not allow CallBack to work. If they answer No, they don't
        want to use CallBack, force them to leave a comment.
