Echo Request Processor
----------------------
WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!?!?
Well unlike some sysop's, I like to let my users have a voice in my BBS.
Also Being a gaming bbs, I have very few message posters.I started thinking
what if I let my users choose what Echo's that I carry. IE 'THEY' write the
allfix request to my hubs, and then they feel like I care and start reading
the echo that THEY requested.

Configuration Files (3)
-----------------------
EREQ.CFG
--------
Edit the file EREQ.CFG to fit your needs.
For Example:
C:\BBS\NODE1\DOOR.SYS <-----Path to drop file
RabbitLand II <-----BBS Name
Bryan <-----Sysop First Name
Turner <-----Sysop Last Name
(0 if not GTUSER.BBS) <-----Comm Port # (GTUSER.BBS ONLY)
(0 if not GTUSER.BBS) <-----Node # (GTUSER.BBS ONLY)
0000 <-----Reg. Number
USERS.CFG
---------
Edit the file USER.CFG to allow which ever users you want to have access
to Request from your hub.
SYSOP
DAVID MOSES
BRYAN TURNER
TOBY MOORE
JAMES SPARKS
This would allow LOCAL Requests (SYSOP) and these names as long as they are
typed in EXACTLY as in the drop file. If you are useing Handles as your Main
name in the User Files, Then Handles should go here as well.
ECHO.LST
--------
Edit the ECHO.LST to have all your Networks in there:
1 <----- Number of the Network
Fido Network <----- Name of Network as Users See it
C:\files\FIDONET.NA <----- Name and path to echo list file
BONEHILL <----- Areafix password to your hub
1:124/7020 <----- Hubs address
1:124/7015 <----- Your address
2
Linear Network
linear.na
APOGEE
121:2110/103
121:2110/120
You can have as many as 10 networks. Over 10 will mess up the ansi's, also
if you have over 10 networks you might think about contacting me for a
customized copy. (Register and I will not charge)
Installation
------------
The following drop files are supported by Echo Request Processor.
PCBOARD.SYS DORINFOx.DEF
USERS.SYS SFDOORS.DAT
DOOR.SYS USERINFO.DAT
CALLINFO.BBS GTUSER.BBS
Add the command line below to your batch file to start the door.
For single line Systems:
EREQ EREQ.CFG
For Example:
@ECHO OFF
C:
CD\EREQ
EREQ EREQ.CFG <-----Command Line that starts the door.
CD\BBS
For Multi-line Systems:
EREQ EREQ1.CFG
For Example:
@ECHO OFF
C:
CD\EREQ
EREQ EREQ1.CFG <-----Command Line that starts the door.
CD\BBS
To run the door in LOCAL mode type EREQ EREQ.CFG /L.
Fossil Driver Support
---------------------
This door supports the use of Fossil drivers. To tell it to use the
Fossil driver instead of the standard COM ports, just put /FD on the
command line when running the door. For example:
EREQ EREQ.CFG /FD
indicates that a Fossil driver is present and should be used. If no Fossil
driver is detected, the door will print a message to that effect and exit
the door gracefully.
Environment Variables
---------------------
This door supports COM 1-4 on the standard IRQ's -
COM1/COM3 = IRQ4 and COM2/COM4 = IRQ3. If you wish to use a non-standard IRQ,
add the IRQ number after the configuration filename. Let's assume you want
to use COM1 and IRQ5. The command line passed to EREQ would be:
EREQ EREQ.CFG /5 or
EREQ EREQ.CFG /%IRQ% for the environment variable.
The /5 tells the door to use IRQ5 rather than the standard IRQ4
that is normally used with COM1. No /x parameter is needed for the standard
IRQ's.
When specifying the location of the system file on line 1 of the EREQ.CFG
file, you may use the environment variables %pcbdrive%, %pcbdir%, %pcbnode%,
and %wcnodeid%. Some examples:
PCBoard:
USERS.SYS in C:\PCB - %pcbdrive%%pcbdir%\USERS.SYS
USERS.SYS in C:\PCB\NODE1 - %pcbdrive%%pcbdir%\NODE%pcbnode%\USERS.SYS
Wildcat!:
USERINFO.DAT in C:\WC\NODE1 - C:\WC\NODE%wcnodeid%
Non-PCBoard systems may use the PCB environment variables by setting them
in either AUTOEXEC.BAT or in the batch that runs the door. For example:
SET PCBDRIVE=C:
SET PCBDIR=\BBSDIR
SET PCBNODE=1
486DX CPU's
-----------
Some math coprocessors in 486DX CPUs cannot handle floating point math.
This can show up as an ERROR 5, a keyboard timeout, etc.
Fortunately there is an easy fix for this problem. Simply place the following
line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET NO87=ON
