- ===================================================================
-
- Most BBS systems allow 'file requests'.
- If you have a allfiles list of such a system, or the sysop posts his
- new files in echo mail .. you may want to have some of those files.
- You could login and download files, but there is a faster way,
- you freq the files with your mailer.
- You make a file request packet, send it with your mailer, and
- if the requests can be filled the files are send to you
- at the file transfer turnaround. This is especially handy
- if you want files from your boss, because you call him anyway
- with your mailer, so if you freq files from him you pay only
- for the seconds the file transfer of the freqed files last,
- because you have to make the connect anyway.
-
- So how do you make such a file request packet ?
- The simplest way is to use the 'freq' programm.
- You call it with the files you want, and ik makes a packet
- and adds it to a .flo file.
-
- Also you can use the Freq programm to get information on a
- node from the nodelist. This can be handy if you want to
- know the phone number .. or you want to check the location
- of the system before freqing from it. Or you just want to
- know if your freqing from the right system.
-
-
- How do you use this tool ?
-
- first you have to give the nodenumber you want to freq
- from on the command line. If you type return now you
- only get information about this node.
-
- for example 'Freq 14:103/300' gives:
-
-
- Tron Freq Utilitie V0.76
-
- NodeNumber : 14:103/300
- BBS : Amiga Pet Shop BBS
- Sysop : Paul Spijkerman
- City : Gasselte Holland
- Number : 0599-564696
-
-
- If you want to freq files also you type them after the
- nodenumber .. like this:
-
-
- Freq <NodeNumber> <File #1> .. [File #n]
-
-
- Some systems have files or a few files that need a password
- before it can be freqed, in that case you add a password
- to the file name in question by adding a ! and the password
- like this:
-
-
- File!Password
-
- For example: Freq 14:103/300 tron!test allfiles.lha
-
-
- If you freq files they are shown in a list beneath the
- node information. A node don't has to be in a nodelist
- for the Freq programm to work. But after using the
- freq utility you have to call out, and for that there has
- to be an entry in a nodelist for that system.
- If you don't have an entry in a nodelist for that system,
- you could add it to the pointlist. That is a lot simpler
- than making a nodelist for that node because in the point
- list you only need to add one line.
-
- If you used the freq programm you have to call out, this can
- be down in the BBS GUI by typing F10, or from shell with
- the Trion or Caller utility.
- Look at the Trion and Caller doc for more information about this.
