- *** Setting up NetSEX ***
-
- 1. Aquire a fidonet node number from your fidonet area
- coordinator.
-
- 2. Aquire a gateway node number by e-mailing 1@5317. In the
- message be sure to include your WWIV node number, your
- Fidonet Address, and your USENET address if you have one.
-
- 3. Create or edit the FIDO.NET file and place it in your wwiv
- DATA directory.
-
- 4. Place the NetSEX executable in your WWIV directory.
-
- 5. Run Netsex with one of the following parameter combinations:
- NETS.EXE <DATA DIRECTORY> \W
- ( Import messages from Fidonet to WWIVNET)
- NETS.EXE <DATA DIRECTORY> \F
- ( Export messages from WWIVNET to Fidonet)
- NETS.EXE <DATA DIRECTORY> \WF
- ( Import then Export )
- NETS.EXE <DATA DIRECTORY> \FW
- ( Export then Import)
- NETS.EXE <DATA DIRECTORY>
- ( Default - Import then Export)
-
- If everything is set up correctly you should get a display of
- what messages are being processed and some totals. If there are
- errors in your FIDO.NET file NetSEX will print a messages telling
- what line is causing the trouble.
- Be sure to run NetSEX before and after ZMH (zone mail hour)
- if your Fidonet node networks only during ZMH.
- The current convention for gatewayed subs is to use sub
- numbers in the range of 600-799. Even sub numbers are used for
- USENET News Groups and Odd sub numbers are used for Fidonet
- EchoMail areas. Sub 600 is the NetSEX support sub, To join send
- e-mail to 1@7400 requesting that you be added.
-
- The file USER.TXT that is included with this package is intended
- to be a reference for BBS users who would like to take
- advantadge of a NetSEX gateway. I would suggest having this file
- downloadable or availiable under WWIV's GFILES area.
-
- Send questions, comments, or digitized sound samples of heavy
- breathing to:
-
- USENET: matt@jove.cs.pdx.edu
- WWIVNET: 1@5317
-
- NetSEX is an ongoing project intended to make WWIVNET more
- accessible to the outside world and vice versa. Thank you for
- your effort in this project.
