Short description : Replacement for mailer on small BBS's where mail
functions are not in order and SysOp shares the
machine between BBS and normal functions;
Description : BBE can be used as a front-end for a BBS. BBS's
who are not FidoNet <tm> compatible or Sysop's who
don't need a mailer and share the PC between BBS
and their own work can use BBE. BBE will stay in
memory and the Sysop can shell to dos (BBE takes
only a small amount of memory). When the modem is
forced to take phone-calls, the only thing the
Sysop has to do is to exit from the shell and the
front-end will handle the call.
Non fidonet <tm> compatible BBS programs can use
BBE as their front-end. There is extensive support
for a user questionaire BEFORE the BBS comes active.
BBE can terminate with an errorlevel, based on the
results of the questionaire plus the callers baud-
rate.
BBE includes support to handle direct Bimodem <tm>
calls in a direct manner. When the other side starts
a Bimodem session within 30 seconds, BBE will also
start a Bimodem session and both ends can transport
files to each other. With the security support on
Bimodem, this makes a nice unattended support for
commercial firms who want so transfer their files
in a cheap (only BBE and Bimodem) way;
Updates : Major updates in 5.02 are, configurable port address
and IRQ. In 5.03 some extra tests added. In 5.05 I
have tried to fix some mismatches in modem-PC-BBE
combinations.
