- Hello all!
-
- FD has two methods of passing the baud rate. This FAQ shows the DOBBS/EXEBBS
- method. There is another FAQ which shows the 'one bat file, errorlevel
- method' which many new sysops find simpler to manage. The essential
- difference between the two is having one long bat file, or several short ones.
- There is also some added capability in the DOBBS/EXEBBS method as it allows
- you to pass the time of the next FD event, and /ARQ connection information.
- Suit yourself to what you like best.
-
- 1. Go into FD config, and make sure you have assigned a number to
- each baud rate connecting to your system. In this example, we used
- errorlevel 200 for all connection speeds and turned on the 'create bat
- file option' in FD.
-
- 2. Add the following to your 'frodo.bat' file or just replace your
- old one with this example then add in what you need for your setup.
-
-
- ---- begin FRODO.BAT-----
-
- @Echo off
- c:
- cd \fd
- :Start

-
- Cd\fd
- fd
- If ERRORLEVEL 253 Goto Mail_Out
- If ERRORLEVEL 252 Goto Make_Node
- If ERRORLEVEL 209 Goto Mail_Test ;Function Key activated
- If ERRORLEVEL 201 Goto FB100
- If ERRORLEVEL 200 Goto Connect
-
- Goto end
-
- :Mail_Out ;Gecho 1.11+ specific, adapt as needed!

- -----end FRODO.BAT-------
-
- DOBBS.BAT is created by FD each BBS call, and it then activates EXEBBS.BAT
- which you design.
-
- EXEBBS.BAT (Remember that this file is activated by DOBBS.BAT):
-
- ----begin EXEBBS.BAT--------------
-
- C:
- CD \TG
- TELEGARD -B%1 -X%3 -N%4 -C%5 -Q
- If Not Exist c:\tg\ECHOMAIL.TG? GoTo End
- Del c:\tg\ECHOMAIL.TG?
- cd \fd
- Gecho Toss
- Gecho Scan
- :END
- Frodo ; your FD batch file
-
- This is a very basic batch file to startup TG with the DOBBS process. Make
- note that if you use another filename for your 'FD.BAT' other than 'FRODO.BAT'
- you will need to change it here too! If you dont, your BBS will land in
- 'zululand' because it wont know what to do after a caller exits!
-
- (Note: %1=baud, %2=port, %3=time till next event, %4=node if multinode,
- %5=other modem connect info such as if it is an ARQ connection)
-
- Informational assistance provided by Kevin Watkins.
-
- Note, this version shows also how to scan for mail left by a caller and
- packing if they left any outbound mail by checking for the existance of a
- ECHOMAIL.TG? file. This is optional and the mail_test routine shows for local
- sysop mail. Note that the echomail.tg? means in place of the ? to use J for
- Jam or S for Squish.

- End part 2.
