(S)lick (A)nswer (M)achine is about the simplest BBS imaginable. It
was designed to do ONLY one thing, ANSWER your telephone and give a
short and simple text message to the caller. It will then hang up
and recycle itself. It will be up to you to decide how to use it
best.
You are hereby granted a limited license to use SAM for a period of
10 days for evaluation purposes only. If after that time you wish
to continue using SAM a nominal registration fee of $10.00 is
required. The shareware version is limited to displaying no more
than 15 lines of text. The registered version will send text files
of unlimited size and will have our advertisment removed.
SAM was written in Zales new PowerBasic V2.10 and is quite a big
improvement over Borlands older discontinued Turbo Basic Ver 1.1.
SAM was designed to run on any IBM or close clone using MS/PC DOS
Ver 2.1 or later. RAM requirments are minimal at 128k. SAM will
function on most modems using Hayse commands and addressing all
four standard communications ports.
COM1 at IRQ4
COM2 at IRQ3
COM3 at IRQ4
COM4 at IRQ3
To operate, place SAM.EXE in the desired HD directory or floppy,
and at the prompt type SAM. If everything is configured correctly, you
will first hear the telephone go off hook for a few seconds, then
the screen will display the opening message followed by a time line
appearing with time updating every second on the second.
SAM will automatically check to see if SAM.CFG and SAM.TXT exist and
if not, SAM will create them. The default SAM.CFG file is set for
COM1 at N81, 1200baud. You can change this with any simple ascii text
editor or WP in ascii mode. The same goes for the message you wish to
send via SAM.TXT.
SAM comes with the following TWO files:
SAM.DOC This file you are reading
SAM.EXE Executable Program
An explanation of SAM.CFG follows:
Contents: 11 lines, simple ascii text file
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COM1 [either COM1: or COM2:]
1200 [highest baud your modem supports]
N [No Pariety]
8 [8 bits]
1 [1 stop bit]
RS [Clear to Send delay in milleseconds]
CS0 [Data set Ready delay in milleseconds]
ATZ [modem reset string]
ATM1H1 [modem go off hook command]
ATH0&D2V0X4S7=10S0=1 [modem init string]
1 [special delay value in seconds]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: 99% of all calls we receive are modem related problems. SAM
will work 90% of all modems manufactured in the past 24 months
with the parameters specified. However, there is a lot of weird
iron out there. Some modems can be handled by making simple
adjustments to the three adjustable timing parameters in CFG
file. You know when SAM is going to work correctly as you will
hear the dial tone as the line goes off hook for a few seconds
before the "Waiting for a call..." message appears.
Another problem area is the so called Hayse compatable modems.
Some recognize all string commands SOME DON'T. Try removing
the &C1 and &D2 if problems persist. ANY one command the modem
cant handle will usually result in a failed command, period.
SAMPLE of SAM.TXT, simple ascii text file, limited to 15 lines.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OurLine BBS is Temporarily OFF
Line While we are doing general
maintenance to our system. We [Edit with any text editor]
expect to be ON-LINE within the [or WP in ascii mode. ]
next Hour.
Your participation in the BBS
and OUR SIG is appreciated!
