- GENERAL INFORMATION
-
- MOSTHOST is a complete host mode in the {COMMO} macro language.
- The host mode can be used to remotely access your machine, or
- you can set it up so friends or associates can call to send or
- receive files to/from your system.
-
- All callers can upload and download to/from one specified
- directory ("filedir" in MOSTHOST configuration). From the
- password protected DOS menu you can change to any desired
- directory.
-
- Features:
- * Multiple users
- * File transfers
- * Sysop chat with word wrap
- * A complete DOS access menu (password protected)
- * Using DOORWAY by Marshall Dudley you can
- access DOS directly from remote.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- All you need to do to get MOSTHOST working is:
-
- (1) Create two sub-directories beneath your {COMMO} directory
- called MHDATA and MHFILE (configurable in MOSTHOST.MAC).
-
- (2) Make sure that MOSTHOST.MAC is in your {COMMO} home
- directory.
-
- MHDATA will contain the users' password files, so keep it
- separate from MHFILE which will be accessible to all callers
- for uploading and downloading. As sysop, you can use your DOS
- password to access any directory on your computer.
-
- Assuming that {COMMO} is loaded into a directory called COMMO
- on C: drive, here is the procedure:
-
- C:\COMMO> md mhdata
- C:\COMMO> md mhfile
- C:\COMMO> commo
-
- Now you are in {COMMO}. Use ALT-U to select the utility menu.
- From there you can edit the configuration of MOSTHOST or run
- it. Observe the following carefully:
-
- * Before running MOSTHOST the serial port must be set to the
- correct speed for your modem: 2400, 9600, 19200, etc.
-
- * If you use the Doorway feature on the DOS menu, you will
- need to download Marshall Dudley's DOORWAY shareware
- program. Place DOORWAY.EXE in a directory that is in your
- DOS path.
-
- * Be sure to set "extdir" in the Paths and Files section of
- COMMO.SET. This item tells {COMMO} where to find your
- external protocol programs.
-
-
- ENHANCED VERSION OF MOSTHOST
-
- An enhanced version of the MOSTHOST is available to
- registered {COMMO} users. It lets you set up your own
- little BBS. Added features include: messaging with
- word-wrap, bulletins, expert mode, hot menus, separate files
- for menus (for easy customizing, adding color, etc.), file
- descriptions for uploads, and more. See REGISTER.FRM for
- ordering details.
