I'm looking for suggestions, tips, warnings, etc. Hi Ian, I have been running SBBS 1.17/1.17-2 under OS/2 for about 2 weeks now! I found the change over "Extremely" simple, just a little time consuming. To get it to work first time without any hassle make sure you have the following available :-) SIO050.* Ray Gwinns replacement Comm's drivers for OS/2 VFD053.* A Virtual Fossil Driver for OS/2 SIO will increase your through put drastically and also release precious processor time for other applications. The VFD Virtual Fossil Driver is AMAZING! It is a driver for OS/2 that will make a Fossil available in as many DOS windows as you want all at one time! It is about 150% better than X00149A under OS/2 and increased my Cps rate by about 500Cps! With X00149A I was maxing about 1300Cps, with VFD I get 1700Cps no prob's and have maxed at 2005Cps with Netmail packets from my hub!! I am running OS/2 and the BBS on a 386DX 25Mhz, 8MB ram, 16450UART and have no prob's! I am able to program in Borland C++ WHILST someone is online at 14K4 without a single CRC error, something I could never do under DESQview! If you have any prob's with SBBS or FrontDoor under OS/2 pls shout, I'll reply to you ASAP. Best regards, Mike.... Ps: One other thing, get a copy of OS2SP200.*, this is a neat util that allows DESQview aware programs to time slice under OS/2, thus giving time back to the system for other processes to use!! --- FMail 0.92 * Origin: < The \/\/hizkid BBS +44 (0)473 687450 V32bis 24Hrs > (2:440/112.0) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message #5010 board "F_SuperBBS Support" Date : 28-Mar-93 21:34 From : Eric Lapham To : Ben Coleman Subj : File Listing.

For one line sysops who want things simple, the fileslist creator is good, along with the rest of the SuperBBS internal utilities.

The *.SCC file is for security purposes only - a hack security. It contains in a crippled way some dates about the registrated users. If You run a registrated version of SBBS You need one copy to validate Your registration - but only one. If that one works with Your registration You never need another copy. But because after You there are other users which legalize their copy of SBBS the *.SCC file has to be updated - that's the reason why the names and the length of that file differs from release to release.

I'm looking for suggestions, tips, warnings, etc. I set it up once for a demo of my BBS (I didn't want to take my BBS offline for the demo so I copied it across to my personal machine running OS/2). It ran fine at all speeds up to 9600bps (this was on a 386-33 without 16550) in both windowed and full screen sessions. I used the BNU fossil driver inside the DOS box, and the SIO/VSIO drivers for OS/2. If you run SBBS under OS/2 then your biggest problem will be having SBBS use 90% of the CPU time. A partial solution to this problem is using an OS/2 mailer program which calls SBBS (you'll need OS/2 version 2.1 beta and the file MAGIC.ZIP) so that SBBS isn't wasting CPU time unless there's actually someone online. cya PS I'll be able to help you more when you ask some more specific questions. þ MR/2 1.41x NR þ What?!?

Secondly, in your batch files do you use Errorlevels from Front Door to call your BBS baud rates? What I mean is in Front door (FDSETUP) there is an area for errorlevel under MAILER. In this, you should have something like this: Baud Rate-> 300-101 <-Errorlevel 1200-102 2400-103 4800-104 9600-105 19200-106 38400-107 Then in your batch file, call FD like this :START cd\sbbs\fd FD.EXE If errorlevel 101 goto 300 if errorlevel 102 goto 1200 if errorlevel 103 goto 2400 Etc etc.. then down in the batch file you can set up your strings as: :2400 cd\sbbs bbs -b2400 -n1 -s9 if errorlevel 3 goto pack if errorlevel 4 goto pack if errorlevel 5 goto pack goto START :PACK cd\sbbs\tosser imail scan cd.. goto START Hope this helps, -Tom --- SuperBBS 1.17-2 (Reg) * Origin: SuperBBS 1.17 Alpha Colony II BBS (306)545-8342 (1:140/47) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message #5003 board "F_SuperBBS Support" Date : 09-Apr-93 08:52 From : Maurice Racine To : Ben Hatheway Subj : help - again Hello Ben!

I did the following: I decompressed und copied as many files, until I filled up my 80 mb inbound partition to 0 bytes free. Then, I executed the chat-program (or any other door). Because Superbbs can't swap to this disk, because it is full, I get the following: 11-Apr-93 12:57 Shelled to dos 11-Apr-93 12:57 Cmd line: *c /c 1chat.bat *n *p *b *s 11-Apr-93 12:57 Fatal error, user offline After this, Superbbs will not delete the contents of the temp-directories as listed in the setup program (logical, after an error). This could bring you in deep trouble, if you have your mailer on the same partition, because Frontdoor e.g. needs atleast 32k free diskspace to run ;-)))) To prevent any futher mess, I have added the following statement in my batch-file which is executed after leaving superbbs: for %%d in (\bbs\#%task%\tmp\*.* \bbs\#%task%\work\*.*) do del %%d 2) Using BiModem as xfer-protocol. It works fine here, only 2 things are quite buggy. If I upload files (and download files at the same time) with Bimodem, using the download command (type 32), BiModem will put the description of the uploaded file into the current (template) directory, instead to the upload directory defined in the bimodem setup.

Depends on what conversion program you are using. . . If you use the program that comes with SBBS (S2R.EXE), you can read up about it in the documentation. If you use another program like Doormaster or Qkdoor, you will need to convert to an RA type dropfile, run your program, and then convert it back to a QBBS type dropfile. Some doors require the config.ra and will require you use the program that comes with sbbs, but if the program only reads exitinfo.bbs and dorinfo?.def, you *should* be able to use this example: @ECHO OFF QKDOOR C:\SBBS\QBBS C:\DOORS\RATS\RA CD \DOORS\RATS PROGRAM.EXE QKDOOR C:\DOORS\RATS\RA C:\SBBS\QBBS CD \SBBS Make sure you convert it or copy it back into your sbbs directory or when the bbs tries to read it back in it won't have any of the new information. --- SuperBBS 1.17-2 (Reg) * Origin: It came from the Gutter!

If you find any errors, better settings for any modem, or modems not covered, please let me know. I have one that I need, if someone would help me. I need the settings for a PPI 14.4 HST. If you run a Mailer and your setting needs more change than the S0=1 for BBS ONLY application, please post both modem init setting for a Mailer and a BBS. If your modem has switches that need to be set, please tell me about the switch settings. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MODEM SETTINGS My thanks to David Conger at 1:190/903 for sending me this file. I hope it helps SuperBBS users to ease the pain of modem installation just a bit. If you know of any modems that are not listed here and would be kind enough to help us add it, please leave me feedback. MODEM/MAILER SYSTEMS Some of these setting may be for a mailer system, in which case you will have to use the S0=1 for a standalone bbs init string. You may have to play with some of these setting a bit to get them to work, since there are no guarantees that your system setup is exactually like the people who volunteered these settings. These setting are only hoped to get you some where near to what works. 16550 UART - A MUST! If using an external modem, pull the I/O card out that the modem cable connects to and look for either a 8250 or 16450 Uart (40 pin I.C.) chip on the board. This chip needs to be replace with a 16550AN or AFN Uart chip. This chip is a buffered chip and prevents you from loosing data during HST transfers and in Mulititasking enviroments. If the above chips are not the kind to be unplugged, then you will have to buy a new Multi I/O card with a 16550A Uart on it. If your I/O card does have the older chip(s), you can reduce transfer errors by locking your baud rate to 19,200. Both Cards and 16550AN chips can be purchased from JDR Microdevices at 1-800-538-5000 voice, or 1-800-538-5005 Fax, approximate price is $14.
