The TriBBS Bulletin Board System 39
THE WAITING FOR CALLER SCREEN
-----------------------------
Other than being pretty colorful, TriBBS's Waiting for Caller screen
allows the sysop to perform a great deal of board maintenance without
even having to log on to the board. The Waiting for Caller screen
performs these maintenance operations by calling TriMan. The Waiting
for Caller screen is divided into three major parts.
The Waiting for Caller Screen Menu
----------------------------------
The top portion of the screen is the Waiting for Caller menu and
allows you to select one of the following 12 options:
Drop to DOS
Configure Node
Edit Conferences
Local Logon
Edit Users
Edit Events
Configure System
Edit File Areas
View Callers Log
Pack User File
Exit TriBBS
Pack Message Base
As you already know from installing TriBBS, a menu option is selected
by moving the double-lined border to the desired option and pressing
<ENTER>. Each of these ten menu options will now be explained one at
a time.
Drop to DOS
-----------
The "Drop to DOS" menu option will temporarily shell out to DOS and
allow you to enter DOS commands. You can return to TriBBS by simply
entering EXIT at the DOS command prompt. You should note that TriBBS
takes the phone off the hook when the "Drop to DOS" menu option is
selected and will put it back on the hook when you return from DOS.
This will give any callers a BUSY signal while you are shelled out to
DOS.
