-
- Your POINT nodes will need the following information before they can
- setup PPoint.
-
- Their point address (Zone:Network/Node{.Point}) ie: 1:249/114.7 _________
- Their BOSS address (Zone:Network/Node) ie: 1:249/114 _________
- Their BOSS ROUTE address (if required) (Zone:Network/Node) _________
- Their Host phone number... _________
- Their Point/Host session (and packet) password... _________
-
-
- If you want to PRESET your PPoint users, create a text file as follows:
-
- The filename must be AUTOPP.SET, and located in the same directory they
- choose to install PPoint.
-
- The contents will be in a format where lines starting with ; are comment
- lines, and all others will only be recognized if KEYWORDS are found.
- Valid KEYWORDS are: SET, NAME, ADDRESS, BOSS, ROUTE, PHONE, PASSWORD,
- IN, OUT, MAIL, ORIGIN, PORT, BAUD, and ARC#.
-
- For example, here is a typical setup file:
-
- NAME Steve Martin
- ADDRESS 1:400/20.4
- PHONE 555-1212
- PASSWORD trains
-
- Notice the BOSS and ROUTE keywords are not used, since they will default
- to 1:400/20 and 1:400/20 in this case. You can use them if required.
- The SET keyword has only one use, and that is to instruct PPoint to setup
- as if it will be used with PP-QWK its optional QWK access module. To use
- it, you must use the keyword and a command like this: SET QWK. The Default
- setup mode when no SET command is used, is for a typical FidoNet mailer
- system with Binkley and Bnu (or other fossils). IN is for the inbound
- directory, and OUT is for the outbound directory, MAIL is for the mail
- directory, but it is strongly suggested that you let PPoint use it's own
- defaults for these. ORIGIN is for the users origin line, PORT is a valid
- port number 1 to 4, and BAUD is for a valid baud rate. ARC# is to assign
- one of the following outbound archivers:
-
- 1) NONE
- 2) Lha (lzh)
- 3) Pkpak (arc)
- 4) Arj (arj)
- 5) Pkzip (zip)
-
- This only affects outbound archiving. PPoint will automatically detect
- the inbound archiving type and execute the appropriate unarchiving command.
