- PPoint now let's you connect to a network host using PP-LAN. Your
- network host can be connected to the outside world, and you connected
- to it using PP-LAN.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Setup:
-
- Edit pp-lan.cfg. It's a documented configuration file.
- Edit your mailer.bat file to just have this one line in it...
-
- @pp-lan
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- What, exactly, does PP-LAN do?
-
- It's a replacement for bnu and binkley for Ppoint where the mail comes
- from a network server. It can also be used to fetch packets on a
- non-network system that has a full node setup on it, and has packets
- waiting for it's points. Some sysops setup PPoint in a separate
- directory and use pp-lan to move the packets to/from Ppoint.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Misc option...
-
- PP-LAN has one command line switch /C. If you run pp-lan /c it will
- check the host server to see if mail is waiting. If mail is there,
- it will exit with an errorlevel of 0, if there is no mail, it will exit
- with an errorlevel of 1. This was designed so that network nodes can
- check for mail in a routine batch process.
-
- ie: @echo off
- pp-lan /c
- if errorlevel 1 goto exit
- beep or msgbox "You have mail"... etc.
- :exit
