- Setup hints for using BGFAX with Renegade 5-31-94 and higher 08-12-95

- BGFAX was tested with the Renegade 5-31-94 overlay. I am assuming higher
- versions of Renegade work okay.
-
- 1. From now on, to get your system ready to answer calls, start up your
- BBS by using the FBBS.BAT file included with BGFAX.
- 2. Be sure all the BGFAX files are copied into the directory as specified
- by the BGFAX environment variable (A "SET BGFAX=C:\BGFAX" line must
- exist in either your AUTOEXEC.BAT or FBBS.BAT file).
- 3. Make sure your BGFAX.CNF file is configured to use the proper fax class
- that your modem supports (you may need to comment and uncomment some
- lines in the BGFAX.CNF file).
-
- You need to make a file called EXEBBS.BAT in the BGFAX directory.
-
- EXEBBS.BAT
- ~~~~~~~~~~
- @echo off
- cd\renegade
- renegade -B%1 -Q
- %bgfax%\fbbs.bat
-
- The most frequent problem people have with this setup... Once people get
- every thing configured, a data call comes into BGFAX, it transfers control
- to Renegade, but the user that called in sees only garbage characters on
- their screen. The problem is that you have BGFAX's DTE speed set to a
- speed different than that of what Renegade is using. The port speeds in
- BGFAX and Renegade **MUST BE LOCKED AT THE SAME SPEED** (BGFAX.CNF defaults
- to sp=57600, while Renegade may default to a locked speed of 38400. You
- must change the speed in either BGFAX or Renegade so that they are the same!)
