The TriBBS Bulletin Board System 10
Note how the PATH command in line three was modified and how BOARD was
added to the end of the batch file.
IMPORTANT: Starting with version 2.1, TriBBS uses TTPROT.EXE to
perform file transfers. TTPROT is included with TriBBS and must be
placed in either your main TriBBS directory or a directory that is in
your DOS PATH statement.
If everything has been done properly, TriBBS should start up
automatically after a reboot. So let's give it a try and press RESET.
After a few seconds, you should see the TriBBS Waiting for Caller
screen. If you don't, you should go back and check both BOARD.BAT and
AUTOEXEC.BAT for errors. It will probably be something really simple.
Your First Log On
-----------------
You can now finally log on as a new user. Simply enter BOARD at the
DOS prompt to restart TriBBS. After the Waiting for Caller screen
appears and the modem has been initialized, move the double-lined
border to the "Local Logon" menu option and select it by pressing
<ENTER>. This option will log you on to the BBS and takes the phone
off the hook. The screen should now clear and the following will be
displayed:

Welcome to Unnamed BBS - Node 1.

Your Sysop is Joe Sysop.
Test Drive Version!
Do you want ANSI color graphics (y/N)?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This display simply displays that a local connection was made, the
name of the board, Unnamed BBS, and node number; that it's a TriBBS
5.0 BBS; a copyright notice; the sysop's name, Joe Sysop; and it's a
"Test Drive Version!" of the software. The board's name and the
sysop's name can be changed quite simply. We'll discuss how it's done
in the next section. As for a registration number, you'll have to
register your board to get rid of "Test Drive Version!". (Hint, Hint)
You will also note that TriBBS is prompting you as to whether or not
you want ANSI color graphics or not. If you have a color monitor, you
will probably want to respond affirmatively by pressing <Y>. If you
