Notice that the extension is .DO, not .DOC as this is not a
complete work by any means. This initial stab at a DOOR
implementing the SAMs callsign database is released at the
request of others.
Needed
CALLDOOR.EXE - the program
CALLDOOR.CFG - config file (sample enclosed)
FINDCALL.EXE - Comes with the Sam's callbook
X00.EXE - or other FOSSIL driver
Installation
1. Make FINDCALL work from the command line. This will require the
SAMAPI program that came with the callbook to be installed.
2. odify the .CFG parameters to match your ports.
3. Test by running CALLBOOK with "local" on the command line.
i.e type CALLBOOK LOCAL
4. Put CALLDOOR.* and FINDCALL.EXE in the same place and execure
CALLDOOR.EXE from whatever batch file your BBS uses when it
exits to a DOOR. Note that you will need to load SAMAPI
before you start the BBS.
Discussion
CALLDOOR assumes the presence of a FOSSIL driver to control a
port that is locked at the baud rate specified in CALLDOOR.CFG.
It askes the user the appropriate question and then shells to
FINDCALL to get the call information. The response is redirected
to a file named ~~~ which is then displayed to the user. The
local screen displays some diagnostic information that I have
been using to test the program. Some or all of that may
disappear later. Dropping of carrier will result in CALLDOOR
returning control to the BBS. Rather than passing time remaining
to the door, I put in a 5 minute time limit, figuring that was
good enough for most users. The CALLDOOR program will exit after
5 minutes and return control to the LLBBS. Hopefully these
simple methods of taking care of the items of most concern will
make the door easy to use and independant of LLBBS software.
