that the sysop voice validate!
5. setup the door in your bbs software and you should be all set!
■Last Minute Notes
The door will look a little wierd on the sysop end. This is due
to the way I went about doing things in the door itself. It all looks just
fine though to the remote user! This will most likely change in the next
version when I redo all the screens/output.
■Sysop Keys
The following keys are available while the door is running on the local
side.
HOME Toggles between the user status screen and the help
display listing the special keys.
F6 Take 5 minutes away from the caller.
NOTE: this is not returned to the BBS.
F7 Give 5 minutes to the caller.
Also not returned to the bbs.
F9 Quit door and return caller to bbs.
F10 Enter Chat Mode. Press ESC to exit chat!
ALT+D Drop to DOS.
