Speed Limit v1.3 Shareware PCBoard 15.0 PPE Low Modem Speed Pass Filter
What does Speed Limit do?
This PCBoard 15.0 PPE, when placed in your logon script, lets you have
some "low modem speed" callers get passed your high speed modem limit.
Why??? In general, I keep 2400 baud callers off my system. But I have
some 2400 baud callers whom I thoroughly enjoy their membership on my
system already. These great callers I placed in my Speed Limit configs
and regardless of their 2400 connection they can still get through! It
lets them know their speed is low, but that we're passing them through
anyway. I hope you have a use for it, I know I do...
Speed Limit Installation.
Installation of Speed Limit is fairly straight-forward. Here is how I
do it. My new logon script looks like this, just three lines:
!E:\PPE\TIMEZONE\TIMEZONE.PPE
!E:\PPE\SPEEDLIM\SPEEDLIM.PPE
!E:\PPE\UAI\UAI.PPE
The second line is for Speed Limit, the other 2 are other PPE's I use that
check time slots or prompt the user for city & state and other settings
info. Now...at registered user logons areeven new user logons, the speed
is checked by Speed Limit. Remember to make the "lowest modem speed" in
PCBSetup the SAME as in your Speed Limit configs! This is important!!

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ I'm very sorry, but I'm afraid your modem speed is too low for this BBS. │
│ There are only a handful of callers here at this speed and I do not have │
│ enough room for more 2400 baud callers. If you upgrade to a higher speed │
│ modem we'd love to have you calling here, but until then we can't do it. │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Shareware
You have 30 days to evaluate it, then you must register or remove it.
You use SpeedLim at your own risk. I will not be responsible for lost
data or any damage that the use or misuse of SpeedLim may cause. It's
been thoroughly tested on my system and works flawlessly here but I'm
just covering my assets. If you have any ideas & suggestions that can
improve on SpeedLim, let me know in the Intelec Network's PPL forum.
To Register
Registration grants you a license to use SpeedLim on the (1) BBS that
it is being registered to and licenses may not be transferred. Plus,
registration is only $5 U.S. Send checks or money orders payable to
Cliff Watkins at the address shown below. If you are outside the US
please only use Postal Money Orders in US $. Non-U.S. personal checks
cannot be accepted, please don't send cash! If in the U.S. include a
voice number and best time to reach you and I will call you with the
registration number and validation code. If outside the U.S. then you
must call my BBS for this info. There is no "online registration" at
this time, sorry. Thanks for evaluating SpeedLim! Look for my many
other fine PCBoard PPE utilities!
And check out the Planet Earth Network! 21 conferences devoted to the
issues that matter most today! Look for PEN-yymm.ZIP where yy is the
current year and mm is the current month. It is a great addition to
the networks you may be carrying now! Interested in a network that is
wider in focus? Check out Intelec Network, the best general interest
network anywhere! Look for IN-yymm.ZIP on a BBS near you...
