Description:
CallMe is a simple program, with all of the features a SysOp will need to
successfully call back their users. SysOps have many needs, some of them
are solved directly by this program. If your needs are absolute security,
or if you need to help users with certain difficulties in connecting with
your BBS or if due to vagaries in the local phone company, it may very be
a no-cost call for you to call back a user, who it may cost a long distance
call to call you. Any way you look at it, your users will appreciate your
thoughtfulness in putting this Door up for them.
System Requirements:
Any BBS that is running PCB 15.2x will be able to take advantage to all that
CallMe has to offer, memory requirements while running is a scant 15k. You
will also need a modem attached to your PCB setup (but we assume you do).
Setup:
First thing to do is to create directory, in this example we use the
directory called C:\PCB\PPE\CALLME you can name yours anything you want
just make sure you place it correctly in your CMD.LST file.
Now unzip the ZIP that you received, into this new directory, you will find
the following:
CALLME.PPE - The main program, where all the juice is!
CALLME.CFG - The simple configuration file for CallMe, more later on this.
HISTORY.DOC - A history of the changes that make up CallMe.
CALLME.DOC - These doc's.
FILE_ID.DIZ - Program Description File
DESC.SDI - Program Description File
REGISTER.FRM - Registration Form
PRODUCTS.TXT - Product List from PCS
Load PCBSM and go into B - File Locations, then B - Configuration Files
then go down to the Name/Loc of Default CMD.LST File, press the F2 key
and you will be presented with a screen that looks like:
File Locations
Command Security PPE/MNU File -or- Keystroke Replacement
══════════════ ════════ ═══════════════════════════════════════
1) CALLME 0 C:\PCB\PPE\CALLME\CALLME.PPE
When you are done entering this information, just hit the ESC key and
answer Y to save the configuration.
Now you will need to edit your CallMe.CFG file, this is a simple process
and shouldn't take you but a minute. The file looks like:
Bob Watson ;1 The SysOps Full Name
The TAO BBS ;2 The BBS Name
0000000 ;3 The Registration Number (00000000 if unregistered)
609 ;4 Your BBS Home Area-Code
609-587-2672 ;5 Your BBS Main Number (for display purpose)
ATDT ;6 The type of dialing you want your modem to do
NONE ;7 Password to allow access - NONE for no Password.
Line 1 - Simple, your Name as you entered it when you registered Callme
If this program is unregistered, case is unimportant, if it is
registered, then you will have to enter it as you did when you
created your KEY number.
Line 2 - Your BBS Name, again, if this program is unregistered, then case
is unimportant, if it is registered, please enter it exactly as
you did when you created your KEY number.
Line 3 - Your KEY number, you can receive this number immediately by calling
to The TAO BBS, more on this later. If this program is unregistered
then you might as well leave it as it is. (although you could try
all the variations, there are only a few billion of them <G>).
Line 4 - Your local area code, this is the area code that is your own local
area code, the CallMe program will use this number to determine if
a call is a local one (then it strips off the area code and does not
add a 1), or if it is a long distance call, and in that case it adds
a one and does not strip off the area code.
Line 5 - Your BBS Main number, this is used for display purposes to your users
also it is used to get the length of usable number, please maintain
the format of XXX-XXX-XXXX do not add ( or ).
Line 6 - This is the dial type that you use, you can either have TONE dialing
and in that case you would have ATDT here, or you can have PULSE
dialing which would mean that you would place ATDP in this line.
Line 7 - This is the password that you want to use, your users will be asked
for a password to access CallMe, case is unimportant here as it will
automatically convert the users answer to all upper case. If there
is the word NONE here, then your users will not be asked for a password.
The user gets one shot at entering the correct password, if they get
it wrong they are informed that they are wrong and they are placed back
on the BBS. Your password can be up to 13 characters long.
The last thing that you will need to do is to add the command CALLME to
any BRDM file that you want to. Or add it into your doors list, however
you want to present it to your callers. Let your imagination go wild.
Registerered or Non-Registerered:
The difference between registered and non-registered version of this
program are only a couple, namely the non-registered version only allows
the user 5 minutes of on-line time after a successful callback (hey, I know
this really is bad, but it is the only thing I could think of to help you
all to register this), and a small beg screen, asking your users to help
you register it. After registration, all delays, and beg screens are removed
also your users time is not reduced in any way. Registration is only $10.00.
