NetXpress Dial-up IP (SLIP/CSLIP/BOOTP) Door v1.0
Copyright (c) 1995 Merlin Systems Inc.
==============================================================================
Syntax:
nxdip <nxbbs.cfg> [/B <drop-file>] [/I <ip_address>] [/Q <comport irq>]
[/A <comport address>] [/C <comport>] [/U <comport baud>]
Where:
<drop-file> is the path and filename of one of the following dropfiles:
CALLINFO.BBS, CHAIN.TXT, DOOR.SYS, DORINFOx.DEF, PCBOARD.SYS,
SFDOORS.DAT or XTRN.DAT
<ip_address> is this node's IP address (eg. 204.191.36.201)
This node's IP address may be assigned in the command line parameter or in
the environmental variable 'IP'.
Example: SET IP=204.191.36.201
Operation:
Call this program as a door from your BBS. It handles all SLIP/CLIP
encoding and decoding.
Make sure that you load a packet driver before running this door.
For more information on packet drivers, look on
'http://www.merlinsys.com/conect.htm'.
This packet driver will be used to connect up to the Internet.
Example batch file:
c:\nxbbs\nxdip c:\nxbbs\nxbbs.cfg /b door.sys
Termination:
- Sysop presses <Esc> on the local console
- User's daily time runs out
- Carrier is lost
User Configuration:
The user must have configured their IP address correctly on their end.
Their IP address must be one that is 'owned' by you. If they set their
IP address to 0.0.0.0, then the internal BOOTP server in NXSLIP will
take care of their IP Address request and return this node's IP Address.
The user's netmask may be anything at all since they are using SLIP.
Usually , they can just set it to '0.0.0.0'.
