- Here is a list of programs required to run frontdoor using this
- set-up:
-
- FD202.* Frontdoor version 1.99C
- gomail.* GOMail echo mail handler
-
- FD202 is available for FREQ at 1:203/481. It is also available
- on the Mustang support board. GOMail can be freq'ed or downloaded
- the Author's BBS
-
- The best way to see our set-up is to set-up frontdoor in a spare
- work dir and unzip the Files ending in .SYS, like FD.SYS into
- that directory. Then run setup. This will put you into Frontdoors
- configuration program. You can now browse thru all the diff
- configuration area and see how my system is set-up.
-
- In this archive are the actual Configuration files and
- CAT.BAT that I use in my system along with text files explaining
- the CAT.BAT file. You will also find text files showing my
- Frontdoor and Messages Directories.
-
- In the config for fd under global you have address, this is your
- node number that you need to chose from the node list that is not
- being used and is temporary it will be assigned from the nc hub
- once you have tested your system. the format of the address is
- 1:203/481 . the 1 is the zone number, 203 is the net number and
- 481 is the node number. Next is also under global Filenames these
- are the dirs that you create for fd to use mine are as follows;
-
- C:\fd\ Frontdoor main dir
- C:\fd\mail\ Net Mail directory
- C:\fd\file\ Directory for All inbound Mail and files
- C:\fd\packet\ Directory where FD puts it's Temporary Packets
- C:\fd\activity.log This is the FD Activity log. You may name it
- What you wish.
- C:\WC40\ * Where the Nodelist is stored.
- C:\fd\mailonly.txt Path and Name of the text file you make to
- tell users that your only accepting mail
- calls at this time.
- C:\msg Not Required with this set up.
-
-
- The next area in the FD config that gave us some problems was
- the modem command strings for init-1. The way it comes frontdoor
- wouldn't drop carrier and reinitialize after a call. So we Added
- to the init strings.
-
- INIT-1 ATH0S0=0Q0X4S7=45|
- INIT-2 ATE4M&D2|
-
- These commands work on my modem that is a Hayes compatible modem,
- ZOOM HC2400S.
-
- The next Item thats not fully explained in Frontdoors docs has to
- do with the event manager.
-
- External events Will only run once a day. so if you are testing,
- the cat.bat file or other testing using the External events you
- will have to make another External event or delete the current
- one and make a new one. External events require an errorlevel to
- exit with and a line in the cat.bat file with the same errorlevel
-
- If you must have an external event run even if the computer is in
- use at the time the event is supposed to run the set it as a
- forced event in the events behavior section.
-
- Mail events will run as many times you want them for testing,
- just by changing the start time.
-
-
- In the manager you also have folders you need to put in the names
- of your Netmail and Bad_msgs dirs and then your ready to go
