I'd like to remind everyone that what is in this documentation file is
still valid, even though its not been changed in a while. I have received
a number of support questions in Email on topics that are fully covered in
this manual.
Please note that I have also begun the steps to starting up a new support
conference. I now have it listed in the International FidoNet Echolist.
From this point, i'm going to try to get it on the Zone1 Backbone (starting
on the Region12 backbone). I'm also going to try to get the list gated into
an Internet mailing list so internet people can get support as well.
So you fidonet people, especially those in Canada, and in Region12, send
messages to your NEC so we can get this area on the backbone.

*****NOTE****
This documentation file has not changed much relating to the new
features/fixes that I have added in the last month. Most of the
changes are documented in the Readme (Changelog) file.
There is a very good reason for this file to not have been updated:
I am writing a completely new version of JamMail, complete with a full
GUI, and full input/correction routines. Because I figure it will take
me a little bit of time before I get a version of JamMail out with a
GUI, I thought I should send this version out, as it has bug fixes and
such that people reported from the .98.25 version (1210 or 1216 archives).
Stay tuned for a brand new version! I will likely have a small preview
of the new gui in this archive. Tell me what you think!
Some Major Changes are: (ie, this manual is wrong in these areas :-)
The S:Setup script is now generated, and all window options are
configurable inside of the JamMail Window/Log menu.
***EMSI*** Yes, this update release of JamMail should support full
inbound and outbound EMSI! There are problems receiving calls from
Portal of Power mailers, but I have been attempting to get in
contact with the author to find a solution (he doesn't send any of
the "hello, I support EMSI" messages when dialing out, he just spews
out his "Hello, this is who I am" packet, which either causes about
a 20 second timeout delay on inbound sessions, or causes a failed
session.
UUCP2 call type now supported. This will allow you to have two
different UUCICO options (as well as a second UUCICO binary if you
wish), so you can support the larger block sizes for other systems
that support it, and still support the small packets for those
dumb systems on the other end.
Please send me a message if you find any problems with this version,
and have any suggestions for the new GUI version of JamMail.

1.
What is JamMail?
JamMail is the first WPL.library mailer genertor. What this means is
through the use of the JamMail program, you will be generating a custom
Front end for your system. No extra code will be in the .wpl file that
isn't required for your system. If you are running as an end user and
don't answer the phone at all, not a line of code that is for answering
the phone will be created. Once you have generated your S:JamMail.Wpl
file, you will not need to run the JamMail program again unless you need
to change something. The S:Setup script launches WPL and loads and runs
the S:JamMail.wpl script that you generated.
What features can a WPL program written by JamMail have?
JamMail was primarily written to make it easier for me to add things to
my system, so the first thing the JamMail binary was required to do, was
to be able to generate a program that had the same features as the file
I had written by hand. Some of these features were: Fidonet support,
UUCP support (launching UUCICO on inbound and outbound calls), Atomic
clock setting (it dials up an atomic clock system, and accuratly sets
your system clock). It also had to be able to easily launch whatever
BBS software I happened to be running at the time. A simple scheduler
was also required, so I put one in.
The BBS program I've been running during most of the time i've been
writing the JamMail binary, is VBBS. VBBS is a multi-tasking Graphical
User interface BBS system. A requirement of using VBBS, was that you
had to be using the VBBS terminal program, so I made it possible for
users to download files right from my JamMail/Login prompt.
At this point, I also set things up so people could do standard Fidonet
File requests right from the login prompt, and they can be connected to
my system with their favourite Terminal program (that supports Batch
Zmodem transfers).
Now that JamMail was able to generate and easily configure all of these
options, I started into the "new" options that are only available through
the generator. I started by making the system Multi-line capable with
one script. Currently, i've limited the number of lines to 9. This is
purely a cosmetic limitation. If someone requires a frontend on more
than 9 lines, they can contact me, and i'll compile a version for them.
Now that JamMail is multi-line, a much improved Scheduler was required,
so I enhanced the scheduler significantly. I also wanted a way to
specify which lines were used to dial specific sites based on what type
of modem they had, what their address was or simply on their phone
number. Now that there is a nice window there showing what the scheduler
is doing, I figured it would be good for the user to be able to use that
window for something, so i've set it up, that you can press CTRL-C in
that window, and have the scheduler close down. You can also configure
the scheduler to close all of the JamMail lines when it exists as well.
Pressing CTRL-D in the Scheduler window, causes the scheduler to start
its WaitLoop over again, and pressing CTRL-F in the window causes the
scheduler to timeout whatever it is currently doing (Unless it is in the
middle of making a call).
On or about this time, I picked up a Unitel account. Unitel is an
"alternative" long distance phone company. Fax routers are available,
which is a little black box they'll stick between your Fax/Modem and
the phone line, but I figured i'd not get one of those and simply build
the feature into JamMail. If the phone number your dialing matches a
pattern (the default is "(1-|011-)#?") it will pre-pend a dialing code
onto any phone number correctly configured as Long distance from a North
American site. I also wanted to be able to list all of the LD calls
I made with JamMail, so any number that matches the above pattern will
be sent to a special LogProc message port to be logged in a seperate
file as well. (see section on Logproc for more information on the
logging functions of JamMail).
Because I own a ZyXEL modem, some ZyXEL features are supported. The
system can be programed to support CallerID in a couple different
ways. The first thing it does is log the CallerID messages in your
main log, so you can always see where that caller had been calling
from. It also puts this CallerID string in an ENV: variable called
$(line).CID so your BBS program can make use of it, if it can. Also
I personally find it a bit annoying if someone blocks the CallerID
from showing where they are calling from, so JamMail has a few options
here. The first thing it can do, is display a text file right before
the main prompt saying that it has identified that they have blocked
the CallerID. Also, you can configure the system to not allow them
to log into one of your Bulletin boards, and if you wish, it will
hangup as soon as it displays the warning text file. The same options
exist for the User file requesting functions.
JamMail has the option to launch Fax software, but since I do not have
any, this function has not fully been tested. Also, if some usefull
VoiceMail software becomes available, I will support it if possible.
VoiceMail will likely be supported by using the distinctive ring feature
of the modem. I do not trust the concept of attempting a Voice session
when you also support Data on the same line, but distinctive ring will
allow you to know what type of call it is before you answer the phone.
The other option, is to support VoiceMail on a line that you don't
receive Data calls (ie, an end user, just running the system as an
answering machine, that you can call out from).
2.
Installing JamMail.
The files in the libs/ directory from this archive should all be moved
to your libs: directory. The files in the s/ directory, should be moved
to your s: directory. The files in the bin/ directory should
be placed somewhere on your path: There are two versions of JamTool
included in the archive. JamTool_T uses the Traplist.library to
access a nodelist, and JamTool_I uses Nodelist.library to access a
nodelist (Igen style currently exists). You should select which
format you will be using, and you should rename the appropriate
version to "JamTool", and place it in the same directory as the other
binaries. If you will not be using a Fidonet style nodelist, pick
either one, and rename it to JamTool and place it in your Path. If you
do not have either a Traplist or an Igen nodelist compiled and running
on your system, archives for both nodelist formats are on my system
that you can Freq. Traplist.lha gives you the needed Traplist.library
library and nodelist compiler. Igen1a34.lzh gives you the Igen/
Nodelist.library archive. If you are at all speed conscious, you
will likely want to make JamTool resident, as that will speed things
up during Fidonet handshaking.
The file s:setup will likely need to be modified to setup your main log
file and log window, and the long distance phone log. Currently, the
main log file is logs:jammail.log, and the current long distance phone
log is logs:Phone.log. The main log window is also specified in this
file. Currently it is "RAW:717/13/708/206/JamMail Log Window/inactive'".
This window likely will not fit on your screen. You will want to adjust
its location on your screen. If you wish to put this log on a public
screen, just specify the /SCREEN option in the window name. This file
will eventually be generated by JamMail as well, so you will not need
to configure it manually.
The S:Setup file should have its execute bit set so you can launch JamMail
simply by typing "SETUP" from any CLI/Shell on your system. The S:Setup
script aborts JamMail if it is already running, and launches it again.
It will also setup LogProc if it isn't already running on your system.
If you make changes with the JamMail program, and generate a new
JamMail.wpl file, simply type "Setup" and it will launch the new one.
You should also set the execute bit on the CALL script, as you can use it
to manually dial a system. It sends call commands to the scheduler, so
the multi-line features of the system will be used as well.
In your outbound directory, you will want to make a sub-directory
called "Xferq", and you must make an assign to this directory in your
Startup-sequence or User-startup file. Xferq.Library will store its
outbound queue files in this directory. You should not touch any of
the files that will be in this directory yourself.
If you do not already have one, you will likely want to assign LOGS:
to a directory where you store all your logs. This isn't a requirement
but the defaults all use Logs: and I find it handy.
3.
The JamMail Menu System.
From the Main JamMail menu, you will notice a few bits of information.
The Menu shows you if you have some of the more normal config options
turned on or not: Fidonet, UUCP, Atomic Clock or the Scheduler. It
also shows approximately what versions of WPL.library and JamTool
should be used with this version of the JamMail binary.
a. Configuring the FidoNet options.
1. System Address: This is your primary system address that will
show up in Fidonet Sessions.
2. Inbound Name: This is the system name that will show up on
the remote systems end when they call you.
3. Outbound Name: This is the system name that will show up on
the remote systems end when you call out.
4. Sysop: This is your name. It will show up in the
remote systems logs.
5. Inbound Directory: This is the directory that files received
during a Fidonet session will go to.
6. Outbound Directory: This is the directory that outbound
FileRequest files will be searched for.
Typically, outbound mail will also be in this
directory, but that is not required.
Other Options.
1. Handshakes: Fidonet offers a couple methods of saying
"Hello" with the other end to find out who
each other is, and what file transfer protocols
you support. Currently, I only support two
methods of handshaking: FTS1 and WaZoo. EMSI
will be added in a future version.
2. Outbound Pickup: This says whether or not you're willing to
pickup any files during an outbound session.
Make sure this option is always set to true
if you call someone to pickup your mail.
3. File Requests: This says whether you will accept inbound
file requests. If you set this to true, you
must configure a file request server in the
XferqSH menus.
4. Post Session: This command is run at the end of every
Fidonet session.
5. Pre Session: This command is run before every outbound
Fidonet Session.
Fidonet AKA's.
Because of the growing number of Alternate Fidonet networks, and the
use of Multiple addresses, a number of options can be changed based
on who the remote system is. A standard **AmigaDos pattern** match
is done on the **remote systems** address.
Address: Your new system address
Inbound name: Your new system's name on inbound calls
Outbound Name: Your new system's name on outbound calls
Inbound directory: The new inbound directory.
Outbound directory: The Directory that .REQ files are searched for.
Pre Session: A custom command run before each outbound session
Post Session: A command run after each session.
Handshakes: You can specify which handshakes are available with
this system, or group of systems.
A blank entry means that you do not wish to change it from the
default.
Note: The # symbol is part of the AmigaDos pattern match system, so
you can not match an address such as "Fidonet#1:163/139.0". You
need to replace the # symbol with a ? such as "Fidonet?1:163/139.0".
b. Configure UUCP options.
1. UUCICO: This is the full path name to the UUCICO binary.
(this is part of the UUCP package).
2. UUCICO Opts: These are command line options that will be used
when UUCICO is launched for inbound and outbound
UUCP sessions.
3. Post Session: This command will be run after each UUCP session
4. Pre Session: This command will be run before each outbound
UUCP session.
To support UUCP/UseNet, you must setup a uucp package seperately
of JamMail. JamMail will only take care of the mail transfers by
launching UUCICO. Mail must be handled by other packages.
I am currently using the UUCICO binary that was included in the
AmigaUUCP1.15 distribution. As far as I know, the 1.16 version
included in the AmigaUUCP package does not work. There is a
patched version of UUCICO for WPL available on many WPL support
sites as well. I also belive that the latest UUCICO distributed
by Michael Smith has the required fixes to run, but I've not
tested it myself.
c. Configure Atomic Clock settings.
Through the use of the XprClock.library file, your system clock
can be set by calling one of the Atomic clock systems.
1. Post NRC: This command will be run after a successfull session.
2. GMT offset: This is the time difference between your time zone
and GMT. The Default is -4 which is for EST.
3. Current Year: This is the number used when calculating the
correct date. You will want to change this each
January 1st.
Most Atomic clock systems are using a 300bps carrier, so you have
to connect to the system at 300bps. BELL103 is the mode that I
use when connecting with my ZyXEL. To configure your system to
be able to call an Atomic clock system, you must add an entry to
your phonebook (using JTPhone), using the type NRC. This allows
you to list different Atomic clock systems if you ever want to dial
more than one. You should put the number 300 in the flags field,
and then configure a custom dial string for each modem that you
might be dialing with, to force the modem to 300bps (if it is
unable to do so itself).
d. Other Configs.
In this menu, you can configure the system for two more session
types. TERM and FAX. TERM calls are only available for outbound
calls. This allows you to launch a terminal program once it
connects to that system. This function is here so you can auto
dial a busy BBS, but still have your own system up and running
between dials. Outbound FAX support has not really been worked
on, but inbound FAX's should work.
1. TERM launching: This enables or disables TERM sessions.
2. Term Command: This is the command that will be run when connected.
3. Post Term: This is the command that will be run after a TERM
call.
4. Fax Launching: This enables or disables FAX sessions.
5. Inbound Fax: This is the command that will be run when a FAX
response is received (see modem response configs
section for more info).
6. Outbound Fax: This is the command that will be run when a connect
is received on an outbound FAX call (not supported
currently).
7. Post Fax: This is the command that will be run after each
FAX session.
Note: The Terminal program that you launch, must not launch itself from
the task that launched it. Old versions of NComm removed itself
from the CLI, which caused problems with launching it this way.
The new NComm 3.0 (and up) launches perfectly fine from here,
but since you can't specify command line arguments with the
port information, you will want to make sure you only do term
type dials on the modem/serial port that you have NComm configured
for. The new Terminus is also supposed to be launchable at this
point. I am now currently running VLT as my terminal program.
If you also wish to run VLT, you must go to the "Change Misc
Options menu", and click on "Do Not use OwnDevUnit", and "Open
Device in Shared Mode".
e. Configure Lines/Modems Section.
f. Login Menu
These options all deal with the "menu" system that will be provided to
a user that calls into your system. If you have disabled the answer
code (ie, you will not be receiving any inbound calls), this section
will be completely disabled.
1. Prompt Timeout: This is the user inactivity timeout. After an inbound
caller has been sitting at the prompt for this number
of seconds, they will be hung up on.
2. User Prompt: This is the main prompt that will be displayed on
inbound calls. If you support UUCP logins, the
last word should end with ogin: as that is most
commonly the pattern searched for in Dial-expect
strings for UUCICO.
3. Privacy Checks: For systems supporting CallerID (Ident-a-call), this
option configures what JamMail will do if a caller
has blocked their number when they called you. A
ZyXEL modem returns the message "Reason for no
caller number: Privacy", so I scan for the pattern
"#?privacy#?", and if this is found, you can do a
number of things:
a) Nothing
b) Display a message to the user saying that they
have been identified as a CID blocked user. The
system will also display files before the user
attemps to do file requests, or launching a BBS,
and JamMail will not allow them to do either, but
it will return them to the main login menu.
c) Send the warning messages, but hangup after the
warning message sent when the user tries to log
into your BBS.
d) Send the warning messages, but hangup after the
warning message sent when the user tries to do
a file request.
e) Send the warning messages, but hangup after
the user tries to do either a file request, or to
launch a BBS.
4. User Freqs: You can allow users to do file requests from your
front end. The user enters each file they want one
per line, and enters a blank line when they are done.
What is actually being done, is a .REQ file is being
created in the T: directory, and once the user is
done entering filenames, your "User Freq server" is
launched, using this file as the request list. A
Batch Zmodem transfer is then started. This feature
is quite usefull if you wish to allow Long distance
users to get files from your system without having to
log into a BBS (or maybe you aren't running a BBS at
all), but it does also allow people to be file leeches.
5. User Address: This is the address that will show up in the
UserFreq Log when users are doing file requests from
your system. This address doesn't really mean anything
but someone may wish to use it somehow. Most File
request servers do need a Fidonet address as the source
of the Request list, so an address should be put here
if you intend to support User File requests.
6. Menu Files: As an addition to User Freq's, up to 9 files can be
downloaded directly from this menu. For each entry,
a pattern can be entered, that is matched against what
the user types to see if they want this file (so don't
use "#?" as a pattern for one of the files, as everything
a user enters will match, and they'll constantly be
receiving this file). The full filename of the file
to be sent, and a short message to be transfered to
the user before sending this file are to be configured
as well.
g. Bulletin Board Launching.
h. Server Text Files.
i. XferqSH and other File request servers.
File requests can be handled primarily through two different methods.
i) a Non-Xferq aware file request handler through XferqSH.
ii) an Xferq aware file request handler
Most file request servers are going to fall under category i).
To use one of these file request servers, Russell McOrmond has written
a program called XferqSH which makes this procedure much easier. The
default command lines in menu A) all use XferqSH to do the dirty work.
To use XferqSH for handing file requests the following variables must
be configured:
XferqSH: This is the full path name to where you have
placed the XferqSH program.
FreqCfg: This is the full path name to the XferqSH config
file you are using for file requests.
LogCfg: This is the log file which will display everything
that happened while executing the FreqCfg file.
If you have setup the User Freq option in Menu 6) and you are using
XferqSH to handle your file requests, you also need to setup the
following two variables:
UserFreqCfg: This is the full path name to the XferqSH config
file that you are using for User File requests.
UserFreqLog: This is the log file which will display everything
that happened while executing the UserFreqCfg file.
Note: The UserFreqCfg and FreqCfg files can be the same config file if
you wish to support them the same way.
A third option also exists in that you can have XferqSH do some funky
things with files that come in through a regular Fidonet session. You
can move specific files to other directorys (eg. Compile your nodediff
before your tic processor moves it to your file area).
To support this option, the following two variables must be setup and
configured correctly:
InboundCfg: This is the full path name to the XferqSH config
file that you are using for Inbound files.
InboundLog: This is the log file which will display everything
that happened while executing the InboundCfg file.
The Format of an XferqSH config file to support file requests or User file
file requests using the internal Freq Server.
----
; Pattern Command
#? #fido:freqlist.lst fido:badfile.txt
----
A config such as this one listed, could be used for either/both of the file
request configs. This specific config uses the XferqSH internal file request
server. It is not particularly usefull, but if you are really lazy and don't
want to setup a better file request server, this will work.
The fido:freqlist.lst file is simply a text file formatted:
----
; Name FullPath
Files files:jamfiles.lha
AllFiles files:jamfiles.lha
----
This possible XferqSH.cfg file would send the user my files list if they did
a file request of either "Files" or "Allfiles". Everything in this file is
case insensative, so it does not matter if they requested "FILES" or "FiLeS"
they would still get it. If you wish the person to get two files, then you
may list both files with the same name in the first column.
----
files files:jamfiles.lha
files files:jamfiles.lha.readme
----
This would send both my files list, and a .readme file (if it exists).
If you require the use of a Password, putting the ! and a password at the end
of the entry is how you would do it.
----
files files:jamfiles.lha ! secret
newfiles files:jamnewfiles.lha ! boogie
----
Using XferqSH to launch other File Request Servers & other programs.
All current file request servers should work fine with JamMail. Some
of them will also be able to be run asynchronously with your mailer,
allowing you to do other things while it searches for the files
requested (like receive more files, or start sending files).
The following variables are available to be used in XferqSH.cfg files:
%r - This is the filename of the file that just came in.
%R - This is the full path filename of the file that just came in.
%a - A full 5-d address of the remote system (eg. Fidonet#1:163/109.0)
%z - Zone number of remote system.
%N - Net number of remote system.
%n - Node number of remote system.
%p - Point number of remote system.
%s - The string that was in the 5th argument of the XferqSH command line.
%o - Asynchronous outbound ".rlo" file. If the file request server that
you wish to run is able to be launched asynchronously, you should
use this for the output file, and you should run the command.
%O - Temporary ".rlo" file. If the file request server you wish to run
is not able to be run asynchronously, you should use this for the
output filename, and should not run the command.
The XferqSh.cfg file that you use for file requests should only have one
line in it (unless you are using the same XferqSH.cfg file for one or both
of the other XferqSH command lines).
This line, should be in the form "Pattern Command". The pattern that you
want to use for your file request handler, is "#?.req", which means this
line will be executed on any file that ends in .req. This allows you to
support multiple .req files sent to you in the same session, as well as
non-standard filenames like "1.163.139.0.req" if someone doesn't translate
a 4d filename before sending it to you.
If your request server requires something like.
freq infile outfile 4d-address sysop baud
Then your XferqSH.cfg line would be.
#?.req run freq %R %o %z:%N/%n.%p %s
And in the command line where XferqSH is run (menu A), you would replace
the last option on the command line (the text string), with:
"$(sysop) $(baud)". The 5th option (the last option), is always sent when
a %s is used in an XferqSH command line.
This command line above assumes that the program "Freq" can handle being
run asynchronously. If it can't, the command line must change to:
#?.req freq %R %O %z:%N/%n.%p %s
The difference is that the command is not "RUN", and that the output
filename is the capital %O instead of the little %o.
It is possible, that your File request server will require a really strange
group of options, and that you will need to have all of the command line
options created in that last text string on the XferqSH command line, and
your XferqSH.cfg file looks like this:
#?.req run freq %s
which would take all of the options from the 5th string that was sent on
the command line when you ran XferqSH.
For the Inbound.cfg XferqSH.cfg file, you can use this pattern match
feature, and move specific files to other directories, or whatever you
can think of.
j. Logs & Window options.
k. Scheduler Configs.
l. Long Distance Phone Call options.
m. Using JTPhone for setting up and using a phone book.
JTPhone (JamTool Phone) is a little program I wrote to easily edit the
phone book used by JamTool. Entries should be added to this list for
any system you wish to dial that is not in the Fidonet nodelist (and
likely, you'll want to add the Fidonet systems that you connect to
regularly as well, since its a fast way of doing password lookups).
The file JamTool.Doc has more documentation on JamTool and JTPhone
if you wish to know more. The phone book format is documented in that
file.

6. Using a Cron with JamMail.
There are many Cron programs available for the Amiga. A very powerful
Cron is called "CyberCron". It has many features, and it also uses LogProc
for its logfiles. I myself use TPTCron because I have very simple needs,
and I already had it setup on my system, as I previously was running a
DLG BBS system.
There is one specific thing related to JamMail, that does require a
Cron program. This is only relevent to Nodes, so a simple point system
doesn't need to run a Cron, unless they wish to automate calls to their
boss/host or something like that.
There is an ENV: variable that Jammail uses called "ZMH". If it is
set to "TRUE" or "1", Zone Mail Hour mode will be in effect. This will
dissallow any users to log into your BBS, download files from your main
menu, and it will disable File requests from users, or from other
Fidonet systems.
If this variable is "False" or 0 (or really, anything thats not true)
the system will function normally, as if the variable wasn't even there.
7. Distribution.
There are a number of ways to get updates to JamMail.
The absolute easiest way to do it, is to dial my system up directly
and to do a file request (either using a terminal program, or a Mailer
such as JamMail itself).
Roger Clark @ Fidonet#1:382/105 in Austin, TX has agreed to post
JamMail into the ADSFIDO file echo area in the Amiga Distribution
System network. We haven't discussed how often this will be done,
but this is being worked on.
Internet Email. I have an Email account at the local Freenet, and
can uuencode an archive up and send it to people if they ask really
nicely (the reason you've got to ask nicely, is that i've got to upload
the file to the freenet at 2400bps, and its not that fun :-)
WPL support FTP directory on ccs.carleton.ca. There is a public
WPL directory on this system, but as of yet, I have not had the chance
to send any versions of JamMail to this system. I do not have direct
access to it myself, and haven't sent a version to anyone that does.
