Installation of CSVerify
Create a directory to keep CSVerify in. There is a sample PCB bat file
included that you can modify to your liking. Go into PCBsetup, and go to
the MainBoard setup. Move the cursor to Doors.dat and press F2 to edit
it. Make an entry for CSVerify, the security required to access it, then
answer YES to logon, and YES to USERS.SYS.
USERS.SYS is important, because once a caller is verified thru the phone
number given, the information is then written back to the USERS.SYS file
and in turn PCBoard updates the users record from the USERS.SYS file.

The B/D phone number is replaced with the telephone number the user
entered into the program to be verified. This phone number is formatted
to PCBoard specs, and in the SysOp Comment Field (Comment 2) the text
"Bus/Data Number Verified." is inserted. In this way you can tell
which users in your users file have been verified by this program.
The text files included are used by my board, and can be modified to
your liking also. They have the capability, as you will see to expand the
standard PCBoard @xxxx@ macros, and color macros.
Activities performed by the program are logged into your PCBoard Callers
log. If you have multiple nodes, the program will make the entry into
the proper caller# log.
Make sure that the information in the CSVerify.cnf file is correct for
your BBS. The lines are fully commented in the configuration file for ease of
modification. Call me if you have any trouble, or want something added.
I do not include the area code or any prefixes in the dialing string, so
the program WILL NOT CALL LONG DISTANCE. I ask the user if the number
is long distance if the area code or exchange entered does not match
what you specify in the CSVerify.cnf or exchange file(s). If the number
entered is deemed long distance, the program will ask if the number was
entered correctly. If the user answers "Y", you have the option of changing
the security level as seen in the configuration file or leaving it as is, by just
repeating the proper security level. The caller is returned to the Main Board.
It will also write a data record, but will note in the record that callback
was not successful. This allows the user the ability to give a local number
later, and the program will allow attempts at callback until the call is
successful.
There is a trashcan type of file included in the zip file you can use as
a sample. You can add numbers to this list that you want rejected should
they be entered by a user. Each time a user is successfully verified,
the phone number used by the caller is added to this list.
There is no way to purge the datafile right now.. When it gets to a point
where it needs some management I will write something!
Let me know if you need something else added to the program or datafile.
By the Way:
You'll notice a key file is included with the ZIP. The program is
*FREEWARE*, but I like to know who is using the program.
I created a limited key file which will last for 1 year. The program is
fully functional with this key file, but after 1 year the program will
no longer save the data on a caller to disk. To obtain an unlimited
registration key file, simply call my BBS, and leave me a note
requesting one. I'll make you a key as soon as I see the message, and let
you know how to get it when you log back on.
Also, as you have noticed.... I am awful at writing documentation.<g>
If there is something missing from the documentation that you do not
understand, please contact my BBS at the above number for clarification.
There is a lot of information contained in the history file, so please
pay attention to what is in there ok?
