- Below is only a suggested method for running Inet 4.0 under Spitfire 3.5.
-
- Shakey Jake's (1:202/1324) is currently running Inet 4.0 on a 2 node
- Spitfire 3.51 BBS with Frontdoor 2.12/SW. INET has also been extensively
- tested with Spitfire 3.51 and Intermail 2.29G.
-
- 1. The way Inet is set up on Shakey Jake's is that incoming Internet Email
- is placed in the FD netmail directory by FD. This directory is named:
- C:\FD\MAIL. Then when INET is run, it reads Internet Email right out of
- Frontdoor and replies are written right back into Frontdoor. One additional
- feature is the ability to reply to Netmail in INET while you're logged on
- to your board. On Shakey Jake's, INET is run in the SFLOGON.BAT file so that
- users can read and reply to their Email as they log on. It's also run from
- the Message Menu extension as Internet Email Functions, using Mike Robinson's
- fine menu extension program MultiMenu.
-
- 2. Listed below is the actual INET.CFG file used on Shakey Jake's:

- LogSize 150
-
- This config file works but feel free to modify it as needed...
-
- 3. Here is a sample SFLOGON.BAT file:
-
- cd\telecomm\sf
- c:\inet\inet /read=c:\fd\mail /personal /new /node1
-
- Inet should be run from the node directory in order to find the appropriate
- drop file (door.sys). The /personal switch looks for personal mail for the
- current user. The /new switch will cause it to only show unread messages.
- The sysop can use this feature to read and reply to Netmail...
- Note: Messages previously read in Frontdoor won't show up as new.
-
- 4. The only thing left to do is add the Internet Email Functions options
- somewhere on your board. It can be added as option K from any menu, or it
- can be set up as a door or as any menu extension. On Shakey Jake's it is
- located in a menu extension off of the Message Menu, using Mike Robinson's
- excellent program MultiMenu. Here is a sample menu from Shakey Jake's:
-
- MultiMenu for any BBS
-
- <1> Lakota Offline Mail Reader
- <2> SFMail Offline Mail Reader
- <3> Jetmail Offline Mail Reader
- <4> SFQuick Offline Mail Reader
- <5> Internet Email Functions
-
- The important portion of the batch file to run option 5 above is:
-
- Option 5:
- c:\
- cd\telecomm\sf
- c:\inet\inet /read=c:\fd\mail /personal /node1
-
- 5. As you may have noticed above, I don't use Replychk. Since I'm reading
- Email directly out of the Frontdoor Netmail directory, Replychk is not
- needed.
-
- 6. This is just one way of running the Internet Connection program in
- Spitfire. There are many other possibilities including combinations of
- tossing Email into the SF message base. I chose this option and it works.
- If you want to observe Inet in action; call Shakey Jake's at (619)448-6470
- (28,800) or at (619)448-2658 (14,400). If you have questions, I can
- always be contacted in the Spitfire echo as well as the Omega_Soft echo.
- Mark Williamson, the author of INET also frequents the above echos and is
- very prompt in responding.
