MINIHOST - Copyright (c) 1986 by Don Mankin
-------------------------------------------
This program was written to support the Hayes command protocol.
IT REQUIRES 8 DATA BITS, NO PARITY, AND 1 STOP BIT.
The configuration file must be formatted exactly as listed. The info
following UPLOAD tells us where you want your uploads to go. If RING is set
to yes, then ringback is enabled. Call back after 10 secs. The directory
following START is where the program will start from. If directory info
follows PROTECT then that directory becomes protected from downloads. If
you follow PROTECT with *.ASM, then all ASM files in ANY directory will be
protected from downloads. Presently, wildcards are NOT supported. Only
file extensions can be a protected item. The numbers following PROT and USR
entries are security levels. Only 50 PROTECT entries are allowed. You may
have up to 100 USER entries.
Messages can be left to the users by creating a text file with your
favorite text editor, then naming the file with the first 8 characters of
the users name, followed by .MH (example DONMANKI.MH). This file will be
displayed when the user calls in.
The file MINIHOST.T01 will be displayed upon carrier detect. MINIHOST.LOG
is created by the system and keeps track of users. Your comments will go
here. MINIHOST.HLP is the help file and MINIHOST.FIL is created as uploads
are available. MINIHOST.CNF is the configuration file, and MUST be edited
to suit. THIS FILE CONTAINS PERTINANT INFORMATION, READ IT FIRST.
If the system is rebooted before MINIHOST is properly exited, the .LOG file
will not be close properly. This will cause an error the next time MINIHOST
is exited. If this happens, the .LOG file should be erased.
MINIHOST provides a minimum amount of support of Multilink. If MLINK=Y is
set, MINIHOST will set function 2 for task switching during loops, and set
function 10 to 1, disabling keyboard testing via INT 7FH.
Suggested modem switch settings are as follows: U U D U D U U D
I use this switch configuration for every communications program I use,I.E.
RBBS, Procomm, Qmodem, etc.
THIS PROGRAM IS STILL IN ITS BETA TEST PHASE. REPORTS OF PROBLEMS OR
SUGGESTIONS ARE SOLICITED.
Let me know what you think. - Don Mankin
