- FINALY! I started writing this program allmost a year ago, and put it off,
- quit, stopped, and ran into problems so many times! But I finally got around
- my biggest bugs and it's done! This program will call back a user to check
- their phone number, once they connect it will ask them for their password and
- if they get it right it will validate them and then exit back up to the BBS.
- it will allow you to allow long distance calls, out of area code calls, or
- restrict them.
-
- first edit the CALLBCAK.CFG file to suit your needs:
-
- COM1 <== Com port
- d:\bbs\status.dat <== location of STATUS.DAT
- d:\bbs\gfiles\sysop.log <== location of SYSOP.LOG
- d:\bbs\gfiles\user.lst <== Location of tags user.lst
- d:\bbs\gfiles\validate.dat <== location of tags validate.dat
- text1 <== String to tell user to hang up
- text2 <== Second string to tell user to hang up
- N <== Allow Long Distance? (Y/N)
- N <== Allow out of area code calls? (Y/N)
- N <== Is this being run in your LOGON.BAT (Y/N)
- 3 <== Number of times to redial the user.
- 23 <== Start hour to allow LD calls. / military
- 2 <== End hour to allow LD calls. \ time
- 1 <== Number of validation set in tags
- validation editor to give user access of.
-
- Note: If you DO NOT run this in your logon.bat it will be a command from
- your main menu and people will have the option to use it if they want.
- it will also display messages a little differentally, and print some
- things that it wont in your LOGON.BAT
-
- if you DO run this in your LOGON.BAT it will be required for ALL new
- users to enter it. If a user is allready validated, CALLBCAK loads up
- sees the person is validated and halts IMMEDIATALLY causing only a
- second of slow down to a normal users logon.
-
- next you must edit your LOCAL.CFG file to express local calls to you:
-
- 313 <== your area code
- <== blank line
- 420 <== from here down list all of the prefixes local to you, on seperate
- 495 lines
-
- a sample LOCAL.CFG has been included to show you what one would look like for
- someone living in plymouth. If you live in plymouth you can even use this one.
-
-
- The final step is specifying how you want to run it.
-
- if you run this from a LOGON.BAT you will just need to add the following
- line to your LOGON.BAT
-
- 'CALLBACK %1 %5'
-
- This will pass baud rate and user number.
-
- if you run this as a command from a menu, you need to create the command
- with PKEY=< and PDATA=CALL.BAT call.bat should just contain the line
-
- 'CALLBACK %1 %3'
-
- Notice the %3, which is different from the LOGON.BAT command line.
-
- Once you have done that you are done! This program MUST be run in your
- BBS dir. It automatically loads things such as user.lst, sysop.log ect.
- from your gfiles directory.
-
- the program gets the info to validate the user with from your status.dat
- file.
-
- THATS IT!
