- NetModem/32 - 1.0.b1.sL
- CopyRight 1997 Dedrick Allen
-
- Welcome to the first NetModem/32 beta 1 release...
-
- There are a lot of changes, most which you can see just by running
- NetModem.exe. This documentation will be brief since it's still a beta and
- doesn't require much brains at all to load. First of all I want to apologize
- for taking so long to release. I have school and a job to maintain so I don't
- have a lot of time nor do I have a partner or team of programmers. I have
- worked very hard on this version so email me (drip@cris.com) with ANY comments
- or problems you have... Also the web pages have changed. You can use any of
- the following sites to reach the NetModem web pages.
-
- www.illusionbbs.com/netmodem (primary site)
- www.netmodem.home.ml.org (mirror site)
- www.cris.com/~drip (mirror site)
- illusion.ml.org/netmodem (mirror site)
-
- These web pages are designed and maintained by a good friend, Billy Ma; most of
- you know him as the co-author of the Illusion BBS software. Dont email him
- asking questions about NetModem because he will probably ignore them and either
- delete them or forward them to me. But he will take questions related to
- Illusion and NetModem if it focuses more on the Illusion end. He also does web
- design and, as you can tell by the NetModem/32 page, is VERY good at it. Also
- check out his page at www.illusionbbs.com or illusion.home.ml.org. And he may
- even be available for custom web page design, but he's not free!
-
- First of all, there is no more NetFOSSIL. But there is NU which is a TSR and
- utility, kind of like XU was for X00. But you must load NU so do "NU ?" for
- help.
-
- Second of all, NO MORE REBOOTING! :) I know a lot of people will like this
- one. All you have to do is put everything in the same directory and run
- NetModem.exe, configure it and, before you load your BBS, load NU and your all
- set to go.
-
- Third of all, NO MORE FREEWARE! I know a lot of people won't like this one.
- I am still working on multinode versions, so when they are ready I will let
- you all know, but here are the registration prices for NetModem/32:
-
- 1 Node - $20
- 2 Nodes - $25
- 4 Nodes - $35
- 8 Nodes - $45
- 16 Nodes - $60 (If possible)
-
- Fourth of all, alot of people said that it was slow bouncing back characters
- sometimes. I have fixed what I can right now in NetModem but you can speed it
- up by toggling the Idle Sensitivity setting in the Windows properties , Misc
- section. To get to this, minimize the window then right click it. Set the Idle
- Sensitivity bar to about 3 from the left/low. (set it more towards low). I will
- do what I can to help speed it up more in future releases.
-
- Fifth of all, NetModem/NT is in development for all you NT fans. Hopefully it
- can be done...
-
- WARNING!! - Never load the BBS/FOSSIL Application without NetModem running!!!!
-
- Instructions
-
- Load NetModem.exe edit the Config -> Ports FIRST! then after you config,
- load NU with the correct parameters then your BBS and your set.
