- Step 1.
-
- Load up BBS.C and search for the following function and modify as noted:
-
-
- if (modem_mode==mode_fax) {
- { /* Add { */
- sprintf(s,"\x0c""%s connection at %u... baud\r\n",curspeed,com_speed); /* Exists */
- sysoplog(s); /* Add */
- sprintf(s,"C:\\WWIV\\FAX.BAT %u",com_speed); /* Add */
- /* The above line is a hardcoded path to your batch file to
- initiate BGFAX and can be anything you want. */
- shrink_out(s,-1,0,0,1); /* Add */
- } /* Add } */
- /* nothing here yet */
- goto hanging_up;
-
- The above path is hard coded to the C:\WWIV directory, which shells and
- runs FAX.BAT.
-
- Close BBS.C and recompile.
-
-
- Step 2. Make a batch file in whatever directory you hardcoded in the above
- code and name it FAX.BAT or whatever you defined.
-
- SAMPLE FAX.BAT
- -------
- Note -If you do not use a fossil driver, then just omit the first and third
- lines below, and use the second line for your batch file. Notice the
- directory path of where you want the incomming files to go to.
-
- bnu /l0=0
- bgfax /fast c:\fax\ql2faxw\inbox F1 q /ns
- bnu /l0=38400
-
- Line 1. Unlocks my comm port which was set to 38400, so that BGFAX can shift
- the the baud rate to 19200 as depicted in the modem file.
-
- Line 2. Runs BGFAX program and passes the /FAST parameter, which is dependant
- on individual hardware (Modem / CPU) as stated in the BGFAX documentation.
- The path statement points to which directory you want the fax files to end in
