- If they're going to hack the call script to do that, you might as well install
- a preceding couple of strings to make it work more quickly. In my script to
- call another FD system running Waffle's UUCICO, I use ..
-
- toFDWaff "" \r\p\r\p "" uucp "" uucp "" uucp
-
- .. and the owner that of the system has "uucp" defined as a string to cause
- an exit with a DOS errorlevel (FDSETUP Mailer->External_Mail, String & Level).
- That errorlevel can take you direct to UUCICO without going via the BBS itself
- .. much faster :-)
