║ GT-HELP ║ GTSYSID.BBS - A Throwaway Screen as callers log on.
╚═════════╩════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════


    The GTYSID.BBS is the first screen that GT displays when callers log
    on. It has no functional purpose apart from letting people know that
    they have connected.

    Typically you put the name of the board here, and any other information
    you want callers to see *before* they answer the ANSI question.

    Some suggestions:

    a)  Keep it brief.  It delays incoming crashmail calls.

    b)  Do not include a MORE prompt, or so many lines that GT generates a
        MORE prompt.  That disables crashmail altogether.

    c)  Sometimes, callers will not see this screen - it may get lost
        during MNP handshakes.  So don't make this the sole source of
        anything that callers *MUST* see.

    d)  Its not a good idea to use ANSI sequences (colour, cursor position
        etc) in this screen.  Callers from non-ANSI terminals may be unable
        to log on at all if you do.
