=============================================================================== Program : MC_CBV Version : 1.00 Contact : Rod Hancock Date : Mar 16, 1993 Voice : (416) 404-2756 FidoNet : 1:229/418 =============================================================================== MC_CBV Automated Callback verifier for RemoteAccess Copyright 1992,1993 Motor City Software All Rights Reserved ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │▓▓▓▓▓ Introduction ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ This is Motor City Software's CallBack Verification System for RemoteAccess. This version is written to work with RemoteAccess V1.1x and V2.00 GAMMA. If the User has less than 10 Minutes remaining when they enter the CallBack Door, they will have their time reset to 10 minutes in order to allow them to complete the CallBack Process. The Following Sysop Keys are available: Alt-C Chat With User Alt-J Jump To Dos Alt-R Return To BBS UpArrow Add 1 Minutes Time DownArrow Deduct 1 Minutes Time While MC_CBV is calling the user back, you may abort by hitting ESCAPE. ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │▓▓▓▓▓ Setup ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Run CBVSetup to configure the CallBack Verifier. SYSTEM INFORMATION ================== Full Path to Users.BBS This is the full path, including trailing backslash to your USERS.BBS This is used to find the Users.BBS (If scanning it for dupe #'s) and the Message base files. Your City & State Location The location of your BBS. This should be accurate, as it is used when asking the user if the phone number is correct when dialed from this location. Eg. Does 555-5555 look correct to call you from Oshawa Ontario? Use RA Extended Log Format Not implemented yet (uses Extended RA log format) Choose Phone Number Format "0" for US style "1" for European style (This door hasn't been tested using Unformatted #'s) Check for Duplicate Number "0" Do Not Check For Dupes "1" Check Numbers Already Called by MC-CBV "2" Check Voice & Data Numbers From USERS.BBS If Set to "1" or "2" then this will force the CBV to REFUSE to call a duplicate number. Note this will be a problem if you have more than one user in a family for instance. NOTE, The Callback Door KNOWS which version of RemoteAccess you are using, and will use the correct USERS.BBS structures when reading that file. Message Base To Use If you want the Callback Door to send messages to the Sysop or User, then you may enter the message base # here. If you set it to 0, then CBV will NOT post any messages. NOTE this supports ONLY the Hudson Message Base. MODEM INFORMATION ================= Modem Init STRING String to initialize your modem. MUST include | on end of string! Make Long Distance CallBack Allow LD users to do callback? # of Times to Redial Number How many time should you try to call the user back. # of PassWord Attempts to allow Give the user how many tries at their password? Wait How Long for Carrier Time to allow for your modem to hangup on the user, call the user back, wait for the user to figure out how to type in ATA and hit Enter, and for the modem to connect to the person it called. You must also allow time for the user to figure out your modem is calling and type in ATA and hit Enter until their modem responds. Remember, a lot of users have internal modems with no lights so keep this in mind. AT LEAST 30 seconds is recommended. Delay Before Redail Number Wait how long between retries to callback the user. Dial Out Prefix ATDT or ATDP normally Long Distance Prefix Number added before hpone number to call Long Distance numbers, normally 1- in the US. Your Area Code Your LOCAL area code. Hangup After L/D Call If you allow LD call backs, should MC_CBV hangup immediately after the callback is successful? (ie. If you say no here YOU WILL have to pay for the user to use your BBS for however long they take on this call. Hangup After Local Call Same as hangup after LD for those cases where YOU have to pay for the phone call. USER INFORMATION ================ Validate Via Auto EMSI If the user logged on using EMSI should they be automatically validated? Log Off Twit Not-Valid User Should the program hang up on a user that the system is configured to be able to callback, but refuses to use it? LockOut Twit Not-Valid User Should the program LOCK OUT a user that the system is configured to be able to callback, but refuses to use it? Allow User to Change Number Should the user be allowed to enter another phone number to call their modem at? An example would be the user is calling from a friends house etc. Make Bulletin of Twit Users Should a list of those who, for one reason or another, refuse to use the callback? Min Level to NOT Use CBV Security level at which the program should just exit and tell the user that he/she is already validated. Validated New CBV Flags RA user flags to give a user who successfully completes the callback. This also includes Long Distance and IEMSI users if you validate them without calling them. The following characters may be entered here: X Turn This Flag ON - Turn This Flag OFF ? DO NOT Change This Flag * Toggle This Flag (If ON, Turn It OFF, If OFF, Turn It ON) UpDate Users Security After Should MC_CBV raise the users security level if they do the callback right? Validated Security Level Security level to give a user who uses the callback successfully. Security Level for LD User Security to give an LD caller if you don't allow LD callbacks. Non-Validated User SubDays Registered Version Only If this is 0, then the users Subscription Expiry Date is NOT updated. You may enter a number from 1 to 1000 for the number of days until the users BBS Account expires. This is for users who would not use the CBV or those who did not reconnect and get updated. Validated User SubDays Registered Version Only If this is 0, then the users Subscription Expiry Date is NOT updated. You may enter a number from 1 to 1000 for the number of days until the users BBS Account expires. This is for users who the CBV DID call back and reconnect with. This includes IEMSI logons if you update them without callback. Long Distance User SubDays Registered Version Only If this is 0, then the users Subscription Expiry Date is NOT updated. You may enter a number from 1 to 1000 for the number of days until the users BBS Account expires. This is for Long Distance users if you do not allow LD Callbacks. ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │▓▓▓▓▓ Command line parameters ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Usage: MC_CBV /N2 /NoAC /N Defines the node number using CBV. You may use /N*N on the optional data line in the RA Menu option. /NoAC If the number is in your area code, but not a local call, then do NOT dial the area code. It will still insert a 1- before the number but the area code is stripped out. Example: D:\BBS\CBV\MC_CBV.EXE /N*N If No Command Line Parameters are used, then it defaults to NODE 1. Place MM_CBV.EXE in its own directory, and call the MC_CBV.EXE from your Top Menu as a type 7. It will look for the EXITINFO.BBS and DORINFO1.DEF in the CURRENT Directory. ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │▓▓▓▓▓ Optional Message Template Files ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ MC_CBV will Post Messages to the Sysop if certain Message Template Files exist AND you have chosen a valid Hudson Message Base in CBVSetup. These files are ASCII Text files created using any text editor. We have included samples in an archive called MESSAGES.ARJ In each of these files, you will notice that line 1 contains the SUBJECT of the message. The rest of the lines may contain whatever you like, and the following TextFile Control Codes are Valid. (As used in RemoteAccess) ^FA - Current Users Full Name ^FO - Current Users Security Level ^F4 - Date of Current Users FIRST Call to BBS ^F6 - Current Users Subscription Expiry Date ^FE - Current Users Voice Phone Number ^FD - Current Users Data Phone Number ^F3 - Current Users Handle ^FB - Current Users Location The following Templates have been included, and if they exist, and a valid Hudson Message Base has been chosen, will cause a message to be written. Feel free to modify these as you see fit. NONEED.MSG - Registered Version Only If this template exists in the same directory as MC_CBV.EXE and a user has a high enough security level to exempt them from using CBV, this message will be posted to alert you. NOTUSED.MSG - Registered Version Only If this template exists in the same directory as MC_CBV.EXE and the user for whatever reason does NOT use the CBV, then this will alert you. Once the template has been posted, a one line Reason is added to the message, explaining where the user Quit. VERIFIED.MSG - Registered Version Only If this template exists in the same directory as MC_CBV.EXE then this message will be posted to you when the user has completed the callback process. LDUPDATE.MSG - Registered Version Only If this template exists in the same directory as MC_CBV.EXE and you update LD callers without calling them back, this message will be posted to you. IEMSI.MSG - Registered Version Only If this template exists in the same directory as MC_CBV.EXE and you automatically update IEMSI users, then this message will be posted to you. FAILPW.MSG - Registered Version Only If this template exists in the same directory as MC_CBV.EXE and the user reconnects, but gets the password wrong, then this message will be posted to you. WELCOME.MSG - If this template exists in the same directory as MC_CBV.EXE then it will be posted to the USER when they are verified. This will include IEMSI and LD users if you update them without doing the callback. This can be used to give them more information about joining your BBS, or anything you desire. This message will be posted TO the User, From the Sysop as defined in Dorinfo1.Def NOTE: If you are NOT registered, then the ONLY Message that you may post is WELCOME.MSG to the user. A reminder is written to the end of this message stating that this is an Unregistered Evaluation Copy, and requires registration after evaluating it. ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │▓▓▓▓▓ Optional Information text files ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ MC_CBV allows up to 7 text files to be used to describe the door for the users. If the file isn't present then MC_CBV will use default text. These files should be located in the same directory as MC_CBV.EXE Samples of these files are included in the archive CBV_TEXT.ARJ Brief descriptions are as follows: The files support the RA Text File Control Codes for UserName, Phone Numbers etc. ADDPHONE.TXT - Displayed to user before showing ASKPHONE.TXT ASKPHONE.TXT - Message to the User to see if the phone number looks right before before calling. EXPLAIN.TXT - If the user did not understand how to use the CBV, then this is where you may try to explain it one last time. If they still do not understand, then the door will exit and you will have to verify them another way, or they may try again. LOCHANG.TXT - Tells the User why the door is hanging up on them after a successful local callback. LDHANG.TXT - Tells the User why the door is hanging up on them after a successful long distance callback. NO_LD.TXT - Shown to Long Distance users if you don't allow LD calls. PRECALL.TXT - Shown just prior to dialing the users number and explains how to make their modem answer when they are called. TELSYSOP.TXT - Message to user if they say the number the door will call them at doesn't look right. UINFO.ANS - This is the User Information Screen. This one allows you to create an ANS and an ASC version. ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │▓▓▓▓▓ Data text files ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Samples are provided in the archive EXAMPLES.ARJ Data Text files: (* - means it's required) * MC_CBV.LOC - List of the AREA CODE AND First 3 Numbers of phone numbers that are local to you. Example 416-579 If the area code is the same as that in CBVSetup, then it is stripped from the phone number when it is dialed. If you have OTHER area codes which are local, then you may also add them to this file, and the area code will NOT be stripped when those are dialed. The number will simply be dialed as AAA-NNN-NNNN where AAA is the area code, and NNN-NNNN is the rest of the number. IF you MUST dial a 1 in front of this 'local' area code, you may add a 1- in FRONT of the AREA CODE in the MC_CBV.LOC file. For example, 804-256 is local, but requires a 1 in front, then you put 1-804-256 in here and it will dial the 1 first. I am not very familiar with having more than one local area code, so if you have ANY problems, contact us and we'll fix it up for your particular needs. YOU MUST MAKE THIS FILE! MC_CBV.LOG - Log of the doors activity. Made by the door. MC_CBV.BAD - List of phone number NOT TO CALL (ie your local police station fire station, etc.) MC_CBV will automatically not call 411, 911, 900 numbers and 555-1212 (directory assistance). You have to make this file if you want to define other Bad Numbers. MC_CBV.OK - List of numbers the door has successfully called. MC_CBV.TWT - Semi-informative Log of twits using the door.
