- 01-24-92 The Verify Door v1.21
-
- Dear Sysop :
-
- This is the 14th release of The Verify Door to the public. Please report
- any problems or suggestions to Jim Lockhart (The author) at:
-
- Page Three BBS
- Node 1: 407-327-8421 38.4k baud HST
- Node 2: 407-327-4524 12/2400 baud MNP
- PC-Pursuit: FLORL
-
- or leave mail to me in the doors conference on RIME (pc-relay).
-
- If you are running an HST modem, be SURE you set the parameter &S0 and
- write it to your NRAM using the &W command. This sets the DSR override
- to the factory default.
-
- ALSO, if you are running TVD on a USR HST or a TELEBIT modem, please
- check your S38 register. It should be set to S38=0 or somewhere between
- 0 and 4 seconds.
-
- QUICK SETUP:
-
- >>>NOTE: If you are upgrading from v1.15 , v1.17, v1.18 or v1.19, please
- stop now and follow the directions contained in UPGRADE.DOC.
-
- If you are upgrading from v1.20, TCBVD121.EXE is a drop-in replacement
- for TCBVD120.EXE. Just be sure and change your batch file that loads it.
-
- If you are upgrading from a version previous to v1.15, back up your
- TCBVVER file and read on:
-
- 1. De-archive the new TVD files into any directory on your hard drive
- and log into that directory. (Ideally you would want to de-archive
- the door files to the directory from which you wish to run the door.)
-
- 2. Run INSTALL.BAT or SETUP21
- You might consider having a copy of the docs handy as there isn't
- much on line help within the setup program.
-
- 3. Run option #1 first to properly install the TVD files.
-
- 4. Now run option #2 and make changes to any item that might be needed.
- Pay special attention to any line in the config that contains a path
- or user security level, especially the path to the log file you
- intend to have the door use/create.
-
- 5. Save the changes when you're happy with the configuration.
-
- 6. Copy the file VERIFY to your \PCB directory. (You can re-name this
- file to whatever filename suits you)
-
- 7. Edit VERIFY (or whatever you re-named it to) to tailor it to your system.
-
- 8. Set up an entry for VERIFY (or whatever you named it) in PCBSETUP.
-
- 9. Test the door in local mode by logging in locally as a new user......
- TVD will do everything except actually dial out if you log in
- in local mode.
-
-
- WHAT TO DO IF TVD REPORTS AN ERROR
-
- Most errors during initial setup and testing and are caused by TVD not
- being able to find one or more of the files specified in the TCBV.CNF file.
- Check to be SURE that all path names in TCBV.CNF are fully correct (check
- the docs if you're not sure what format is being called for).
-
-
- WHAT TO DO IF YOU STILL CAN'T MAKE IT RUN!
-
- Please note any error codes reported if an error occurs. (Error codes are
- written to ERROR.LOG) Telling what the error code(s) is (are) will make it
- a lot easier for me to help you quickly find the problem should one occur.
-
- After you have all the information gathered, then call Page Three BBS and
- leave a [C]omment to the sysop about the exact nature of the problem you are
- having with TVD including any error codes listed in ERROR.LOG and I'll be
- glad to get you up and running.
-
- * By the way, some sysops call me and ask for all kinds of help in getting
- * TVD set up and running, then they don't register the door.
- * I think that's sorta rude to do so if you call me for help, please have the
- * courtesy to register your copy of TVD after the 30 day evaluation period.
-
- If the door doesn't seem to want to call your users back, check the log file
- in the door or your caller log and see if there are some NO DIALTONE messages.
- If so, you may need to change your modems X parameter to X3 so that the modem
- does not return the NO DIALTONE result code to the door.
- This door does NOT appear to work well with some UARTS such as a few found
- in internal modems. It has been running successfully on versions of the
- Intel 16550, 16450, 16451, 16551, 8250, 8250a and 8250b UARTs and most internal
- modems mapped to the same addresses as com1-8 on the AT bus.
-
- TVD has been found to run great on USR, Telebit, Everex, Cardinal, Hayes,
- Ven-Tel, Hisland and other hayes-compatible modems.
-
- If you like the door and want to keep writing future versions, please
- register your copy of TVD as mentioned in the documentation.
