- If you are already running a V7.20 C-BBS then you can ignore this file.
- It describes changes that you must make if you are running a V7.0 and are
- now converting to V7.20.
-
- ****THERE ARE CHANGES TO THE CONFIG.MB FILE WITH THIS VERSION OF CBBS.
- MAKE SURE YOU MAKE THESE CHANGES BEFORE LOADING THE NEW CODE!!
-
- *** Extended Ports...
-
- ****Before doing anything make sure you have a backup of your MAIL and USER
- files. CBBS now allows you to have 16 serial ports.
- Since "L" can now be an active port, you MUST change the local port
- line in each of your config's from 'L' to "Z"!
-
- ZCUDE 300 10 600.......
-
- If you fail to do this, CBBS will consider your local console port as
- an active port with a tnc connected to it. So now for you to list
- connected stations with the "J" command, you or your users would just
- go "JZ" instead of "JL".
-
- ****The gateway has been removed to make more room in the code. MAKE SURE
- ****YOU DELETE the GATEWAY MESSAGES IN THE CONFIG file if you are using an
- older version! DELETE the FOLLOWING LINES in your older CONFIG
- file...(7 lines)
-
- The GateWay is not available.
- You are linked to the other TNC. ^W returns to menu.
- Attempting the connection on $F. ^W will abort.
- Connection not established.
- Connection established. ^W to disconnect.
- Connection aborted.
- You are listening to $F. Type anything to return to menu.
-
- ****The HOLD list is now taken out of the config.mb and is made as a
- separate file called HOLD.MB placed in the same subdirectory as MB.EXE.
- You place the callsigns, one per line in this file, and it will be
- loaded by each copy of CBBS when it loads.
- ****MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE HOLD LIST OF CALLS AND THE *** EOF FROM THE
- CONFIG.MB IF YOU ARE USING A VERSION PRIOR TO 7.2..
-
- Even if you are not going to use any of the extended ports ( I to P )
- you must change the local port line in each config.
-

-
-
- AMIGA users NOTE .... all this is for IBM CBBS users ONLY ... ignore it.
-
- The reason for the extended ports is to allow you to use the G8BPQ code
- which will handle up to 16 tnc ports. This way you can easily add
- another window of the BBS code using any of these ports.
-
- Check out the manual. New chapters are 8.1 - G8BPQ operation and 8.2
- Sam's callbook database.
-
- *** SAMAPI... (NOT on AMIGA)
-
- The BBS will now handle callbook lookups using the SAM database by RT
- Systems, PO Box 8, Laceys Spring, AL. 35754 Phone (205-882-9292). If
- you order the database from them tell them you are using it with CBBS.I
- recommend loading the database on your D drive under a subdirectory
- called sam. It will takeup about 16 and a half meg. Installation
- instructions are included with the SAM disks. You will find the
- SAMAPI.EXE tsr file on the first disk under the API subdirectory. Copy
- this file over to your root startup directory. Then in your
- autoexec.bat file add the line C:\SAMAPI D:\SAM before any brbios or
- bpqcode lines, and before Desqview or any other programs. The bbs will
- now be enabled and you or your users can use the "CB <Callsign>"
- command to get the callsign lookup. The most recent database now
- includes all USA and Canadian callsigns.
