- For details of each command see VConfig Menu Commands
-
- Using the VCONFIG.EXE configuration utility, you can con-
- figure the inner workings of VBBS just the way you want them. It
- DOES take some time to do this, but the end result is well worth
- the time spent. One nice feature of VBBS is that once you're
- finished with the configuration, it provides diagnostics to help
- you make sure all files and paths are correct.
-
- --> IMPORTANT NOTE: MOST of the essential configurations are
- properly set at default settings, meaning
- they are set up for you already. The fol-
- lowing is the ONLY configuration actually
- REQUIRED in most installations in order to
- effect a first-time startup:
-
- In MAIN configuration: BBS name, sysop
- name/handle, system password.
-
- In CHANNEL configuration: set channel 1
- to proper modem port and baud rate.
-
- It's easy to use VCONFIG at any time to do additional
- setup and further configuration -- adding new message bases or
- file areas, changing the limits on existing message bases, etc.
-
- VCONFIG has 17 main functions available at its main menu:
