- Installation of CSVerify
-
- Create a directory to keep CSVerify in. There is a sample PCB bat file
- included that you can modify to your liking. Go into PCBsetup, and go to
- the MainBoard setup. Move the cursor to Doors.dat and press F2 to edit
- it. Make an entry for CSVerify, the security required to access it, then
- answer YES to logon, and YES to USERS.SYS.
-
- USERS.SYS is important, because once a caller is verified thru the phone
- number given, the information is then written back to the USERS.SYS file
- and in turn PCBoard updates the users record from the USERS.SYS file.

-
- The B/D phone number is replaced with the telephone number the user
- entered into the program to be verified. This phone number is formatted
- to PCBoard specs, and in the SysOp Comment Field (Comment 2) the text
- "Bus/Data Number Verified." is inserted. In this way you can tell
- which users in your users file have been verified by this program.
-
- The text files included are used by my board, and can be modified to
- your liking also. They have the capability, as you will see to expand the
- standard PCBoard @xxxx@ macros, and color macros.
-
- Activities performed by the program are logged into your PCBoard Callers
- log. If you have multiple nodes, the program will make the entry into
- the proper caller# log.
-
- Make sure that the information in the CSVerify.cnf file is correct for
- your BBS. The lines are fully commented in the configuration file for ease of
- modification. Call me if you have any trouble, or want something added.
-
- I do not include the area code or any prefixes in the dialing string, so
- the program WILL NOT CALL LONG DISTANCE. I ask the user if the number
- is long distance if the area code or exchange entered does not match
- what you specify in the CSVerify.cnf or exchange file(s). If the number
- entered is deemed long distance, the program will ask if the number was
- entered correctly. If the user answers "Y", you have the option of changing
- the security level as seen in the configuration file or leaving it as is, by just
- repeating the proper security level. The caller is returned to the Main Board.
- It will also write a data record, but will note in the record that callback
- was not successful. This allows the user the ability to give a local number
- later, and the program will allow attempts at callback until the call is
- successful.
-
- There is a trashcan type of file included in the zip file you can use as
- a sample. You can add numbers to this list that you want rejected should
- they be entered by a user. Each time a user is successfully verified,
- the phone number used by the caller is added to this list.
-
- There is no way to purge the datafile right now.. When it gets to a point
- where it needs some management I will write something!
-
- Let me know if you need something else added to the program or datafile.
-
- By the Way:
-
- You'll notice a key file is included with the ZIP. The program is
- *FREEWARE*, but I like to know who is using the program.
-
- I created a limited key file which will last for 1 year. The program is
- fully functional with this key file, but after 1 year the program will
- no longer save the data on a caller to disk. To obtain an unlimited
- registration key file, simply call my BBS, and leave me a note
- requesting one. I'll make you a key as soon as I see the message, and let
- you know how to get it when you log back on.
-
- Also, as you have noticed.... I am awful at writing documentation.<g>
- If there is something missing from the documentation that you do not
- understand, please contact my BBS at the above number for clarification.
-
- There is a lot of information contained in the history file, so please
- pay attention to what is in there ok?
