SFPhone
---------
Version 1.0
Copyright Dec. 1994
By Wolverine Wares & Joe Pelley
What it is :
-------------
I wrote SFPhone because I was bored and I thought that Spitfire sysops
could use a program like this. I don't see many of these around for SF.
SF v3.5 is needed in order for this to work.
SFPhone reads the SFDOORS.DAT (dropfile) file. A MUST for this to work!
Important--> In order for this program to work, it MUST have the following
files in the home Spitfire (BBS) directory.
1) SFPhone.exe - Main Executable Program.
2) SFPhone.cfg - Configuration File
3) SFPhone.lst - Phone Number List File (You create this one)
Then:
-----
Create a file in your SF home directory called SFPHONE.CFG.
Next:
-----
Add the bbs data file type on line 1.
( For Spitfire BBS Add 'SF' To Line 1, which reads the sfdoors.dat )
Add the path to the door drop file (including the backslash '\') on line 2.
(Usually your home spitfire (bbs) directory).
Add your bbs name on line 3.
Add your (sysop) name on line 4.
Add you locked baud rate on line 5. If you don't lock your com port, then
enter a '0' here.
Example:
--------
SF
C:\SF\
Wolvereine's Lair BBS
Joe Pelley
38400
Next:
-----
Create a file called SFPHONE.LST.
On each line put the users full phone number including the area code.
Example:
--------
519-672-8621
519-000-0000
519-001-1010
Command Line Usage :
--------------------
- Put SFPhone and the other file mentioned above in your SF home directory.
- Then edit SFLogon.bat ( Which is in your main Spitfire directory):
- Try to put this at the very begining of your batch file so it will be the
very first progam that is run.
ie :
------->Cut Here<--------
SFPhone.exe SFPhone.cfg
------->Cut Here<--------
What happens is, if the users phone number is found in the SFPhone.lst file,
then SFPhone will be displayed with the lockout information and then hangup
on the user. First it will try to hang up on them by dropping DTR, if this
fails, then it will try to hang up on them by sending the ATH0 command.
Thats it folks! It will display color or B&W, depends if the caller chooses
ANSi at logon time or not.
If you wish to run it locally, enter a /L after the configuration file:
ie:
SFPhone.exe SFPhone.cfg /L
Nonstandard IRQ's can be used by specifying the irq number after the config
filename:
ie:
SFPhone.exe SFPhone.cfg irq#
(irq# = enter your irq number here)
There is a 3 minute timeout on the keyboard. So.. if someone just sits there,
after 3 mins, the program will abort with a keyboard timeout.
Sysop Keys:
------------
While SFPhone is running, the sysop can press certain special keys to perform
a variety of functions. The following is a list of the special keys:
Key(s) Function
-------- ----------
HOME Toggles between the user status window and a help
display that lists the special keys.
