This will varyfrom modem to modem depending on  the modem's characteristics.MODEMSET.EXE   provides  initialization   strings   and  NVRAMsettings for many popular modems.                                                                                           A general string for most modems is:                                          ATE0Q0M1V1S0=0S2=1S7=45&C1&D2H0                                                                             InterBBS   supports three initialization strings.  Some modemsmay require  more  than one  string.  Usually,  a modem can beconfigured   with   the   MODEMSET   utility   and   a  singleinitialization string of "ATZ" will work fine.                OPEN BAUD RATE (300-115200)                                                                                                 Enter the  speed to open  your modem at.   This is usually thehighest speed your modem will handle.  Refer to  your  modem'sdocumentation for further information.

If your modem  has a maximum speed  of 2400  you will normallyanswer "N" to this question.  However, if you run a high speedmodem  (9600 or faster)  you would probably want to answer "Y"to this field.                                                                                                              If you open the serial port at 19200 baud or higher InterBBS  will LOCK the port regardless of the setting in this field.

Some modems,  particularly high-speed types  with the  v.32 orv.42 standards,  have a considerably longer  carrier detectionhandshake.  If you have one of these modems,  or a US RoboticsDual Standard modem,  ensure you set this value to at least 60seconds.

If a ringback does not occur in the time allowed the"RINGBACK" is canceled and the BBS awaits the initial ring.   NODE NUMBER                                                                                                                 Enter the node number you are configuring. If you're running asingle node BBS, this node number will be 1.                                                                                NOTE:  Each node you configure "MUST" have a unique number.   COMM PORT (0-64)                                                                                                            Enter a number 0-64 to indicate the serial port this node willbe using.                                                                                                                   If you want to run a  "LOCAL"  node such as for maintenance ortesting, you should enter a  "0"  in this field.   This is thedefault  when InterBBS   is initially installed.                                                                            Note:  Although, serial port numbers up to 64 are accepted, it       should be  understood that any port numbers  above four       require  a  DigiCHANNEL  Intelligent Board  and  device       driver from Digi International (or 100% compatible).          The "port" number is the CHANNEL  number+1 when using a       "DigiBoard".  For example if my configuration is  using       CHANNEL 12 of a  DigiBoard,  then I would enter "13" as       the serial port number.  If using  Channel "0" then "1"       would be entered as the PORT number.

A credit of 1.0 will make the time of the upload "FREE" time.                                                               A credit of 2.0 will increase the users time the "SAME" amountof time it took to upload the file when completed.            SECURITY LEVEL TO BE "FORCED" INTO A DOOR                                                                                   Enter the security level to be "FORCED" into a door during thelogon sequence.

PROMPT CALLERS AT LOGOFF IF "DOWNLOAD FLAGS" ARE SET                                                                        Enter a  "Y"  if you wish to prompt users  at logoff  who havefiles flagged for download. This will give them another chanceto download the files before the flags are RESET after logoff.PROMPT CALLERS TO SET MESSAGE POINTERS AT LOGOFF                                                                            Enter "Y" if you desire to have the callers asked if they wanttheir  "HIGH"  message read flags  to be set  to  the  highestmessage in each conference defined for the BBS.                                                                             The advantage  of setting the high message read pointer to thehighest message in each conference is that callers who usuallyonly read "PRIVATE" mail  will keep their  high  message  readupdated.  A user reading private mail or public mail addressedto him during the logon sequence does not get the message readpointers updated.                                             USE A "CUSTOM" PROGRAM OR BATCH FILE TO CHECK UPLOADS                                                                       Enter "Y" if you desire to use a custom or SysOp chosen batch file or program to test uploads or check for virii.                                                                         Keep in mind that the file "IBCHK.EXE" is a  Vital & necessarypart of InterBBS   and MUST remain in the DOS path for the BBSto properly handle newly uploaded files. IBCHK.EXE will updatethe "UPLOADS" or "PRIVATE" directory list files.              NAME OF CUSTOM PROGRAM OR BATCH FILE TO CHECK UPLOADS                                                                       Enter the file name  ( 12 characters max! )  of the program or"BATCH" file to run immediately "AFTER" an upload sequence  iscompleted.  This file "MUST" reside in each Node directory.   SHELL TO EXTERNAL PROTOCOLS AND ARCHIVE MANIPULATIONS                                                                       Enter a  "Y"  if you desire InterBBS   to  "SHELL"  to ALL theexternal protocols and archive manipulations.                                                                               This will mean a considerable speed increase in the BBS opera-tion in these evolutions.                                     SKIP THE "MAIL WAITING" CHECK DURING LOGIN                                                                                  InterBBS   can perform a quick check for new  personal mail inALL SIGS and CONFERENCES during the logon process.  The methodused requires no delay in determining if the mail waiting flaghas  been  set  to "ON"  and  the  caller  is  notified of theconferences which have mail waiting for him or her.                                                                         You can disable this check by placing a "Y" in the field.     SWAP InterBBS   TO XMS, EMS, OR DISK DURING A "SHELL"                                                                       InterBBS   "SHELLS" to DOS when the Sysop presses the <F9> keyor when running IBBSCFG.EXE, IBBSSM.EXE  or  IBFILER.EXE  fromwithin the BBS. SHELLing is also performed if the above optionis set to "Y".                                                                                                              Entering a "Y" will cause InterBBS   to attempt to SWAP itselfto Extended Memory  (supplied by an XMS driver,  such as HIMEM.SYS),  Expanded Memory  (EMS v4.0)  or disk,  thus freeing upmore memory for DOS.                                                                                                        If attempts to swap using all three methods fail  the BBS willSHELL while remaining in DOS memory.                          SECURITY LEVEL TO LIST USERS WITH [U] COMMAND                                                                               Enter the security level  required to list users with the  [U]Command from the Main Menu (0-255)                            TODAY'S CALLERS SECURITY LEVEL                                                                                              Enter  the  security level  required  to utilize  the  command[T]oday's callers from the main menu area (0-255).            ALLOW [P]RIVATE FILE TRANSFERS                                                                                              Enter  "Y"  if you wish to give specific users  the ability toupload & download PRIVATE files.  A user may only send privatefiles to another user  who is authorized this function  by theSysOp.                                                        LOCATION OF THE PRIVATE FILE TRANSFER FILE DIRECTORY                                                                        Enter the "Complete" DOS directory path  to the [P]rivate fileupload directory.   This directory  will contain PRIVATE filesauthorized users send to other authorized users.                                                                            Example: C:\IBBS\FILES\PRIV\                                  PAUSE FOR 3 SECONDS AFTER CONNECT AT 2400 OR LESS BAUD                                                                      Enter a  "Y"  if the BBS  should pause  for 3 seconds  after aCONNECTION  is established  at 2400 or less baud.  Some modemstake longer than others in detecting the baud rate.                                                                         As a rule of thumb, if there is a 2 to 4 second delay from thetime the modem  establishes a connection  until the  "CONNECT"message is reported, then you should answer "Y" to this field.SECURITY LEVEL TO ARCHIVE & DOWNLOAD MAIL                                                                                   Enter the  security level  (0-255)  required  to  archive  anddownload mail.                                                ALLOW THE USE OF SPLIT-SCREEN CHAT MODE                                                                                     Enter a  "Y"  if you want the Split Screen Chat mode availableto callers with ANSI capability detected at logon.   The SplitScreen Chat mode allows the simultaneous sending and receivingof data thus increasing the efficiency of the chat mode.      FORCE ALL USERS TO SELECT FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL                                                                            Enter a  "Y"  to force  all users to select  the file transferprotocol after they enter a [D] or [U]  from the file transferarea. Users taking advantage of the "command stacking" featurewill not be forced to select a protocol.                      RUNNING UNDER A MULTITASKER OR NETWORK                                                                                      Y =  If you are operating  InterBBS    within  a  Multitasking     environment,  such as DESQview or OS/2, or a Network such     as Lantastic or Novell.

DISABLE THE AUTO ANSI DETECT FUNCTION AT LOGON                                                                              Some networks  apparently have trouble  dealing with the  ANSIstatus request  ("[6n").    This option  allows the SysOp  tocompletely disable the ANSI detection at logon.                                                                             Disabling the Auto ANSI  will mean ALL users will not have thequicker ANSI cursor movement sequences available  unless  theyare using the  Visual Message Editor.                                                                                       Ensure  the  "Apparent Problem"  with  the  Auto  ANSI  detectsequence is NOT unique to 1 user  which may be a configurationproblem.   If you disable Auto ANSI you also disable the splitscreen chat mode.

All user names mustbegin with letters between A thru Z.                          ALLOW THE "SYSOP" TO LOGON REMOTELY                                                                                         Enter a  "Y"  if you want to allow the user named  "SYSOP"  tologon remotely.   If you do so,  ensure the password  you haveassigned this user record is "VERY" unique.                   SHIFTED FUNCTION KEY ASSIGNMENTS                                                                                            You may enter up to 10 SHIFTED function key assignments. These"Strings"  may be entered  at the  local keyboard  instead  ofhaving to type the text in each time.                                                                                       For example,  you could set the  <F1> key  to send  the string"F N S A"  when you are at the Main Menu to scan for new filesin all directories.  By assigning your  "Signature"  to a key,you will only have to press the SHIFT and function key to signa message.   Place "^M" in the definition to simulate pressingthe ENTER key.                                                                                                              Examples:  Ron Pierce^M                                                  F N S A^M                                          LIMIT SYSOP PAGING HOURS                                                                                                    This allows you to disable the hours the SysOp is available   for chat.                                                                                                                   If this options is selected to  "N"  then users  may page  theSysOp at any time provided  the SysOp has the chat page turnedon.

This allows you  to do anything  your system  might need to doPrior To and After a file transfer.   If configured, the batchfile is again run AFTER the file transfer  with a parameter of"1" so you can tell your batch file to "GOTO" the proper labelfor anything  you  might need to do  AFTER  the file transfer,such as reinitializing a disk cache.

This directory  is also  for  "special"  help files  the SYSOPcreates  for additional help.    The users  may read these  byentering  "H <filename>"  from the  Main Menu  command prompt.The SYSOP  should  notify users  of these files  by  Bulletin,News,  Hello files or menus.  This additional help function isONLY usable from the Main Menu command prompt.

Its name must be  7  orfewer characters as InterBBS   will add a "G" to the name whensearching for the color graphics version of the file.                                                                       Additionally,  if this file is to have security level specificversions  the file name  *must*  be  4 or fewer characters to allow for a "G" added to the graphic version by InterBBS   andthree characters available for the security level (0 - 255).  PRE-LOAD IBBSTEXT FILE                                                                                                      Pre-Loading the  IBBSTEXT  file provides  increased efficiencywhen the  IBBSTEXT file  is accessed  to display  various textstrings such as command prompts.   This would also help reducewear  on your hard drive  since the drive  is not accessed forthe various text strings.   The only possible drawback is thatapproximately 21K  of DOS memory  is required  to pre-load theIBBSTEXT file.                                                                                                              If you are running InterBBS   with less than 50k memory (51.2Kbytes) available when waiting for a call,  you would probably be wise to leave this option set to "N".                                                                                    If you have sufficient memory, it is strongly recommended you enable the pre-loading of the IBBSTEXT file by answering "Y". CONFIRM LOGOFF COMMAND                                                                                                      Enter  "Y"  if you wish callers  to confirm  a logoff when the[G]oodbye command is entered.  The default answer is (N)o.    CONFERENCE INTRO FILE                                                                                                       Enter the full path and filename of the conference Intro file.The conference "Intro" file is displayed each and every time auser  [J]oins a conference.   This file is not required and isoffered  as a configuration option  to assist  users in under-standing what is available in the specific conference joined.                                                               Each conference may have a unique "Intro" file.   The filenameshould be 7 or fewer characters to allow the adding of the "G"(ANSI) or "R" (RIP) as the last character of the filename.                                                                  Example:  C:\IBBS\CF0000\INTRO                                PUBLIC MAIL ONLY                                                                                                            Enter a  "Y"  if you want  to allow  "ONLY"  PUBLIC mail to beentered in this conference.   If you specify PUBLIC mail only,you  might consider  advising users  this  conference  permits"ONLY" public mail (readable by anyone w/ conference access). ATTACH FILE TO MESSAGE SECURITY LEVEL                                                                                       Enter the  security level  required  to  "ATTACH"  a file to amessage.   The user can upload a file  which will be placed inthe conference's ATTACHMENT directory  (if configured to allowfile attachments in the conference).  Level must be (0-255).                                                                Allowing file attachments is an excellent way to permit repet-itious uploading of the same file  while preserving  each fileby uniquely renaming it (troubleshooting/developing).

"NOP" could beentered  to  indicate  that  files  found  on  drive N, O or Pshould be copied  to the "work  directory" on a  hard drive orram disk prior to performing the file transfer.                                                                             Example:  NOP                                                 IS THIS EVENT ACTIVE                                                                                                        Enter "Y" or "N" to specify if this is an ACTIVE EVENT or not.An active event  means one which you want  to be executed whenthe correct date & time arrive.                               EVENT MODE                                                                                                                  InterBBS   has two modes  by which events  may be  controlled,(E]xpedited and (S)liding.                                                                                                  An EXPEDITED event forces callers off and denies access to thesystem doing everything possible  to ensure  the event will berun at the specified time.  If the event  does not run  at thespecified time or in the time "Window" specified in the  eventconfiguration, it will be skipped.                                                                                          A SLIDING event is one which will be run  during the specifiedtime "window".   Users will not be interrupted and users' timeallowed  will not  be affected.   Whenever a user logs off thesystem  during the time  "window"  the event will be executed.This may well be  the preferred manner of running daily eventssuch as mail runs or system maintenance.                                                                                    Enter  an  "E"  to  specify  an  EXPEDITED  event  or  an  "S"to specify a SLIDING event.

This file  will be copied toEVENT.BAT by InterBBS  .  Ensure you *do* have the ".BAT" fileextension on each event's batch file.

This is the LATEST any attempt will be made to run the event each time it is pending.The period from the begin time to the end time is the "window"in which InterBBS    will attempt to run the event.   The timemust be specified as HH:MM in military format.

If it is to berun daily leave this field blank.   Dates *must* be entered inthe MM-DD-YY format.   A date  may contain wildcards which are"00" in a month (MM) or year (YY) position.                                                                                 Examples:  00-01-00, 12-25-00, etc.                                                                                         NOTE:  In the first example date, an event would be run on the       first day of every month while in the second example an       event will be run every CHRISTMAS.                     LAST EVENT DATE                                                                                                             This is a  field  which  InterBBS    updates to record when anevent is run.  An event will only be run once on the day it isdue. You would have to BLANK this field to have InterBBS   runthe same event at a later time on a given day.                                                                              If you  DO  alter this field  in order to force an event to berun again  (or for some other reason),  ensure  you enter  thedate  (if you do not leave the field blank)  in  the  MM-DD-YYformat.

It is *very* important toleave the DATE field blank if you have an event you want to berun more often than once a month.                             TAKE THE MODEM OFF-HOOK WHEN AN EVENT IS PENDING                                                                            Enter  "Y"  if you want the modem taken off-hook  (BUSY)  whenactivity is suspended due to an upcoming event.  The number ofminutes  specified above  determine how long the modem will beoff-hook if the event Begin Time has not been reached.                                                                      Taking the modem  off-hook will  prevent callers from possiblythinking there is a problem with the system since the phone is"Ringing Off the Hook" with no answer.                        SERIAL PORT BASE ADDRESS                                                                                                    Enter the serial port address to use. If you will be using the"STANDARD"  Port Address for COM Port 1 or 2 then you can skipthis question.                                                                                                              Examples:  &H3E8  or 1000 (for COM3)                                     &H2E8  or 744  (for COM4)                                                                                        NOTE:  The  address  *should*  be  expressed as  a hexadecimal       number  in the format shown above.  If you  prefer, you       can  use  the decimal equivalent.  The  program h2d.exe       which is  included with InterBBS. It  will  convert any       hexadecimal  number to a decimal (integer)  number. Use       the command line:  h2d <hex#>         Example:  h2d 3f8SERIAL PORT IRQ NUMBER                                                                                                      Enter the IRQ number to use. If you will be using a "STANDARD"IRQ for COM Port 1 or 2 then you can skip this question.

Each serialport MUST use a unique IRQ.                                                                                                 NOTE:  A  Cold Boot  is imminent  if you specify an IRQ number       which is already in use.

To  allow callers to enter longer than 25 character TO:  namesyou  must answer 'Y' to this question.  Doing so will let  thecaller type in names up to 120 characters long.               FORCE ECHO ON ALL MESSAGES                                                                                                  Enter  "Y" to cause  InterBBS   to force  the echo flag on allmessages edited and saved while this conference is joined.

The scrollback buffer can be  viewed by pressingthe  ScrollLock key when in the Full Screen Message  Editor orby pressing  the UP ARROW when at any prompt.                                                                               The  maximum  number  of  lines  is  400  which uses up 64K ofmemory.   Setting a  lower number  will save  some memory.   Aminimum of 25 lines is required to enable the buffer.

You could,  for example,  run a utility program which modifiesthe path and name of the QUOTES file in the SRCONFIG file thusallowing each call to receive a random "QUOTE of the DAY" froma different database of QUOTES.
