- ║ CHAPTER TWO ANNEX G DOWNLOAD/UPLOAD PROTOCOLS ║
- ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
-
- PROTOCOLS are the means by which files are transferred to
- and from your system. The original protocol was XModem, devel-
- oped by Ward Christensen; there are many more to choose from now.
- VBBS comes "out of the package" preconfigured to handle XModem,
- YModem, ZModem, ZModem-Batch, and HS-Link protocols and it own
- proprietary VXY protocol. Other protocols may added at your
- discretion. Each protocol is configurable by:
-
- 1) Which letter the user will press to select that protocol
- 2) The name and description of the protocol
- 3) DOS command line to run protocol. Parameters passed are
-
- %1 COM port
- %2 baud rate
- %3 filename
- %4 handshake
- %5 UART rate
- %6 port base
- %7 port IRQ
- %8 channel number
- %9 upload directory
-
- 4) Batch compatible? (Y/N)
-
- For most installations, the preconfigured protocols will
- be more than sufficient; should you wish to add other protocols,
- consult the protocol documentation for information on construc-
- ting the proper command line.
-
- --> IMPORTANT NOTE: It is HIGHLY recommended that you use the
- FULL path when you specify the filename of
- your transfer protocols; these programs are
- notorious for their pickiness in this re-
- gard. For example, with ZModem, you might
- use the following command line to set it up
- to receive files (upload protocol):
-
- C:\VBBS\DSZ port %1 ha %4 restrict rz
