I hope you don't think you will be able to set up and run FRONTDOOR
RBBS-PC - MSGTOSS - and all the assorted utilities you will need with
these files... If you don't plan on spending many hours reading the
MSGTOSS and RBBS-PC manuals and the manuals that come with many of the
assorted utilities that will be neccessary for you to accomplish running
a BBS, Frontend Mailer, etc... If you do then you might as well delete
these help files right now and be done with it because you will surely
fail. Most of the knowlege you will need just to keep the Mailer
Tosser / BBS etc.. running after it is installed is in the docs and
believe me when I tell you.. You better Print them, put them in 3 ring
binders with TABS for quick reference because you will be needing them.
This set of help files is to help make your BBS experience less
stressful and more enjoyable. They do not in any way replace the
docs but rather supplement them and hopefully add a little continuity.
The first thing you will need is an operating version of RBBS-PC
This is not an extremely difficult thing. RBBS unpacks itself and has
excellent DOC's. Just follow the directions and do a little reading.
The second thing you will need to do is Install Frontdoor ver2.02/NC
read the dirstrct.txt file and make sure you have all the neccessary
directories created. The Frontdoor program will not run without them
Put the basic FDB.BAT file together and rem out all the TOSSER and
other unessecary utils for the time being. Make sure the SET STATEMENTS
are in your AUTOEXEC.BAT and also all directories that need to be pathed.
You will need to learn or get help setting your modem for Frontdoor.
You may find this to be the most difficult task as Frontdoor will fail
to initialize the modem right from the start. Go to the modem section of
the Frontdoor manual and READ... I can't cover all the different modems
and my knowlege on modems is sketchy I had to get help with this part
and you may very well need to also.
