- Thor Installation:
- ==================
-
- Use the installtion script.
-
- Here's what I did after I installed Thor.
- ----------------------------------------
-
- System Config:
- - I created a system called Internet.
- - I put my user name in the "Mailpacket (w/o ext.)" field.
- - I selected TCP for the Type.
- - I clicked the "User Info ..." button and entered my user name, and
- email address.
- - I clicked the "Type Options ..." button and put my server's IP number
- in the mail server, and news server fields. I entered my user name,
- and password, and clicked on the "Delete mail from POP server" button.
- - I left everything else in the system config as it was, and saved it.
-
- Conference Config:
- -I Clicked "User Info" and entered my email address
-
- Global Config:
- Message Options:
- - I entered an external editor. (right now I have GED SCREEN Thor.1)
- If you use an editor that you can't open on a public screen then
- change the tool types in the Thor Icon to make it open on the WB.
- - put my signature in the "Signature" field, and selected "Use String"
- Global Paths:
- - "Save Dir" Work:AmiTCP-4.0/Archive/Text
- - "Download Dir" Work:AmiTCP-4.0/Mail
- - "Upload Dir" Work:Amitcp-4.0/MailSpool
- - "Arexx Dir" S:
- - "Tmp Dir" T:
- - "Dos Output" Con:0/11/640/200/Thor<->Dos 0
-
- Everything else I left alone.
-
-
- To Join conferences you have to go to the "Events" menus and select
- "Get ConfList". The next time you call your server, select "Connect Thor"
- from the menus, and then click on "Do Events" or "Do All". A list of
- available conferences will be downloaded, and then you can join the ones
- you want.
- ======================================================================
