MYHOST.ASP 07/06/91 Perry Brickley
Compuserve 70421,3523

Myhost was written using HOST.ASP from Datastorm as a base. I removed the
debug routines and added most of the features of a BBS.
Things to know:
1. In the routine, _hostgetc, there is a variable, LOOP, which I set to
36000. This is approximately 3 minutes on my machine which runs at
16 mhz. This counter is for timing out if no key strokes are found.
2. For purposes of testing the script, I set up a local logon. Pressing
the F2 key will simulate carrier as if the modem answered. You can
logon as a user and run through the routines.
3. I used a program called DOORWAY, which can be found on Compuserve's
forum, PCVENA, library 9, named DRWY.ZIP. This program allows you
to execute a Dos program and redirect the screen and keyboard I/O
through the comm port. It even will track direct video writes.
4. Pressing ESC from the HOST will termninate the script. The only
exception is in chat mode, where ESC will terminate chat only. Of
course, if you are running a program through DOORWAY, ESC has no
effect on the script.
5: There are certain hard defines that relate to my enviournment that
you need to check.
I hope you can find use for this script.
