- PRELIMINARY DOCUMENTATION
- *********************************************
-
- THESE ARE NOTES ONLY, NONE OF THIS IS IMPLEMENTED
- YET!
-
-
- SETTING DNET UP AS A BBS (STANDALONE)
-
- (1) Set your modem to auto-answer
-
- Make sure that dropping DTR will hangup the modem
-
- (2) run dnet -a -8 [-bbaud] -sdbbs
-
- (additional options may apply, see DNET.DOC)
-
- -on connect, dnet will will interpret the connect message:
- CONNECT default baud
- CONNECT <N> N baud
-
- These can be modified by AUTA resource entries in s:dnet.config
- (The defaults will not be used at all if any AUTA entries
- exist).
-
- dnet will automatically start the protocol and run 'dbbs'.
- dbbs is the bbs client program which will listen on port
- 8200 for connections. It is assumed the user will run a
- BBSTERM to connect to it. Alternately, the user might
- connect to the email, news, or filetransfer system (or all
- at once).
-
- -on carrier lost, the RESM resource entries in s:dnet.config
- will be run a second apart to reset the modem.
-
- uploading is done by requesting the bbs to retrieve files via
- the sgcopy server (i.e. ask the BBS to run 'getfiles') The
- user can download material by using the getfiles client
- program. Access rights will determine which directories he
- can download from.
-
- (3) Have fun.
-
-
-
- DBBS PROGRAM
-
- The logical device DBBS: must be assigned to the BBS control directory.
- This directory contains the following files:
-
- HELLO.MSG -initial hello message
- PASSWD -password file
- USERS/name -user information files
-
- HELLO.MSG is sent on initial connect to the DBBS. PASSWD contains basic
- name, password, and security access levels. Further information exists
- in USERS/<name> (one file for each user) in a standard format to define
- such things as terminal modes, usage, and other items of interest.
