-
- Thank you for trying WoodyWare's InterBBS Phase 1 . Below are the
- files you should find in this archive that are part of Phase 1 :
-
- CMAIL2.EXE - Phase 1 InterBBS driver exec
- NODE.DAT - Example Node.Dat for your uplinks and downlinks
- MAIL.CFG - Phase1 configuration file sample
- PHASE1.DOC - Phase 1 Documentation
-
-
- HOW PHASE1 WORKS:
- =================
-
- CMAIL2.EXE will take CLASS.TMP,*.007,*.008 files created by
- Advertise It! when someone enters data and zip them into an archive (*.008).
- A netmail file attach message will then be created and the file sent to
- the sites listed in your node.dat.
-
- WHAT IS INTERBBS?
- =================
- The InterBBS protocol driver CMAIL2.EXE allows you to exchange data between
- other BBS systems. The main rule to remember is : DON'T MAKE IT HARDER THAN
- IT IS. Once you've edited your node.dat and mail.cfg the program will take
- care of the rest (more about node.dat and mail.cfg later in the docs). You
- don't have to have "hubs" to network your data, you can network with BBSes as
- close or as far away as you want. Since there are no centralized hubs that
- restrict where and how you pass data, it's basically your responsibility to
- establish networks. You can hook up here at 1:3607/20 but since
- we live in such a small area not much data would be passed from here. I'd
- suggest to form networks netmailing other BBSes with similar interest as yours
- or posting echomail in appropriate message areas.
-
- ABOUT NODE.DAT
- ----------------
-
- Your node.dat contains your uplink and downlink addresses (NOT YOUR OWN
- ADDRESS). It must be in the following format:
-
- ZONE
- NET
- NODE
- POINT
-
- etc.
-
- For example for a BBS participating InterBBS:
-
- 1
- 3607
- 21
- 0
- 1
- 3607
- 20
- 0
-
- REMEMBER THIS IS THE FILE FOR YOUR UP/DOWNLINKS FOR ADVERTISE IT.
-
-
- ABOUT MAIL.CFG
- --------------
- This config file is read by CMAIL2.EXE which is the heart of
- the Phase 1 networking part of ADVERTISE IT!. It must be in
- the following format:
-
- YOUR NAME
- YOUR ZONE
- YOUR NET
- YOUR NODE
- YOUR POINT
- PATH TO YOUR ADVERTISE IT DIRECTORY
- PATH FOR OUTBOUND .MSG MESSAGES
- PATH FOR INCOMING FILES AREA
-
- For Example for a BBS participating in an InterBBS network:
-
- Jerry Woody
- 1
- 3607
- 20
- 0
- c:\SBBS\XTRN\CLASS
- c:\fd\mail
- c:\fd\file
-
-
- RUNNING CMAIL2.EXE
- -------------------
- You should run CMAIL2.EXE during your nightly maintenance event.
- CMAIL2 will handle all outgoing file attaches and incoming files and add them
- to your databases, and send outgoing netmail and get incoming netmail.
-
- CMAIL2.EXE reads the following files : Mail.cfg, Node.dat
-
- ! You will need PKZIP and PKUNZIP to archive the data files.
-
- ! Phase 1 InterBBS is included free with the ADVERTISE IT archive.
