- EVDoor USER'S GUIDE
- Eagle Verify Door
-
- Version 4.1
- March, 01 1992
-
- Welcome to version 4.1 of the Eagle Verify Door! This door represents
- several years of development. Eagle Verify Door v1.0 was released in
- September, 1988 and has had a very successful track record. The
- original door was written in Turbo Pascal 4.0 and used Sam Smith's
- excellent door developer's kit called ProKit. This latest version has
- been totally rewritten in Turbo C++, for two reasons: [1] We had a
- nasty crash of one of our systems 2 years ago and lost all of the pascal
- code to ALL of our door programs. [2] I like pascal a lot, but am
- expanding my programming abilities and regularly use C in my job with
- Uncle Sam -- along with ADA and X-Windows. Now I've decided to try C++.
-
- I'm grateful for the first-rate help I've received from my co-sysop,
- Bob Rinker, which has guided me through some of the tight spots found
- in the code during its development.
-
- Furthermore, this door never would have gotten off the ground had it
- not been for Rickie Belitz of Maryville, TN and his great C door
- developers utility called CKIT. Interested parties may reach Rickie at
- his BBS (615) 982-6512. He has some other great 'C' utilities too
- besides door kits. Eagle Verify Door version 4.1, is NOT FREE. However
- if you'd like user support, and free upgrades then a one time fee of
- $20 is required after 30 days of use. If you DO NOT registered the
- program after 30 days, you MUST nolonger use the verify door!
-
- WHAT IT IS
- ~~~~~~~~~~
- Eagle Verify Door is a quick, easy way to upgrade your users without
- having to voice verify them all. It is for use with PCBoard (tm) BBS
- systems. It is currently compatible with PCBoard version 14.5x ONLY! If
- you have used other door programs, then setup and configuration will be
- relatively simple for the experienced SysOp. Those who are already are
- using previous versions of Eagle Verify should also have no problems.
-
- EVDoor is "different" than all the rest of the verify doors out there,
- in-so-much that it is fully functional when you pull it out of the box!
- Registration will give you access to some maintenance functions and
- allow you to run it on multi-nodes. EVDoor from the very first time you
- use it will start locking out used phone numbers, no limitations like
- the "others", however registration will activate the "name" search
- which works just like the number search of EVDoor, thus preventing
- users from not only using the same number, but their name with a
- different phone number!
-
- MAJOR FEATURES
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- * Optional Local and Long Distance calling. Long Distance callers will
- be disconnected upon completion of verification and instructed to
- call back to use their new security level.
-
- * Optional Prefix database listing to allow you to define LOCAL
- exchanges that may be TOLL calls from your BBS. This will treat
- callers in those exchanges like long distance callers and
- automatically disconnect them after the verification.
-
- * Define up to 3 different times a day to allow Long Distance calling.
-
- * Optional switch to insert users "used" phone number into the PCBoard
- USER's record (Business/Data line phone number field).
-
- * Optional switch to insert a door-generated comment into the USER's
- record comment field #2 showing that a successful verification has
- been completed.
-
- * Stores all phone numbers dialed into a database file which is used to
- prevent verified callers from being re-verified under a different
- user name.
-
- * Area code database file to "lock-out" certain area codes the sysop
- does not wish to make long distance calls to.
-
- * Prefix database file to "lock-out" certain prefix numbers from being
- used (such as 976, 911, 555, etc.).
-
- * Optional switch to allow the door to set subscription expiration
- dates.
-
- * Phone number database compatible with the PCBVerify(tm) phone number
- database file. Uses only the first 12 characters.
-
- * Automatically upgrades new users security level.
-
- * Optionally add additional time for new users first call.
-
- * Optionally disconnect ALL callers/users after a successful
- verification -- even local callers.
-
- * NEW v2.3a
- * Optionally create multiple configuration .DAT files for the door.
- This allows you to use programs like INSTAREG(tm) along with our
- Verify Door. v2.95 of InstaReg(tm) produces errorlevels equalling the
- users new security level. If you use InstaReg(tm) and give your new
- users different security levels you can use Eagle_Verify door too!
- See the INSTAREG file for examples.
-
- * NEW v2.4
- * Network/multi-tasking/multi-node support! (REGISTERED VERSIONS ONLY)
-
- * NEW v3.0
- * NEW name and one executable file [EVDOOR.EXE]
- * NEW and improved setup program [EVDSETUP.EXE]
- * Improved speed with screen displays of external ANSI/ASCII files.
- * Maintenance Menu function of viewing the VERIFY.FON file now views
- the file in reverse order (aka. PCBoard callers log type viewing)
- [REGISTERED Versions only]
- * Optional disconnection of callers if they elect to "Abort" the verify
- process.
- * Optional selection of minimum or maximum (extended) EVDoor usage
- logging/recording to callers log.
- * Special setup for non-MNP HOST modems when callers are using MNP
- modems. Places an additional 10 second delay while the callers MNP
- modem preforms it necessary MNP negotiations.
- * Optional selection of "forced off hook" command. For those busy BBS's
- * Selection of the number of seconds required to "wait" till modem dials
- out.
- * EVDoor now produces an errorlevel of 60 upon a successful
- verification. And can be used to "redirect" the batch file to preform
- other functions.
- * Dots "." will now echo when users enter their password. This is a non
- edit field/entry! They MUST get it right!
-
- * NEW 3.1
- * Special handling functions related to Local TOLL calls.
- * Enable/Disable some functions relating to Long Distance calling.
-
- * NEW 3.1a (Maintenance Update)
- * Corrected error message concerning command line parameters.
- * Improved password check - now allows edits
- * Added new command line parameters to EVDSETUP to allow running on
- various displays (IE: mono - CGA - Bios) - See EVDSETUP.DOC or HIST31
- * Added information concerning new 3rd command line parameter used with
- EVDOOR (See CMDLINE.DOC)
-
- * NEW 3.3 (Maintenance Update)

- when a users is automatically disconnected. Log will have user logged
- off Thru EVDoor written to it. No more "lost carrier" entries from
- PCBoard, unless the callers actually drops carrier within EVDoor.
- * Changed the command line arguments - PLEASE See CMDLINE.DOC!
- * WARNING! Your current VERIFY.FON file (if your upgrading) MUST be
- converted to the new v3.5 format! Run CONVERT.EXE on your VERIFY.FON
- files *-BEFORE-* using EVDoor v3.5. See HIST35 for more information
- concerning CONVERT.EXE
-
- * NEW 4.1 (Major Release)
- * Up to 5 password checks upon reconnecting.
- * Now uses modem connect strings. Must use Q0 in your EVDSETUP
- for the modem dialing out string.
- * New DEBUGGUNG features for troubleshooting.
-
- UPGRADE INFO
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- SysOps using previous versions of Eagle Verify Door should start off
- from scratch and make a new directory for which to install v4.1 of the
- door. See QS_UPGRD.DOC
-
- The ONLY file you will need from your old door directory is the
- VERIFY.FON file. Eagle Verify Door is completely compatible with
- previous VERIFY.FON files. There is an example VERIFY.FON file included
- in the ZIP, but be careful not to overwrite your old copy if you're
- upgrading. And any "customized" versions of the external display files.
- Beginning with version 3.5+ you MUST convert your VERIFY.FON file to
- EVDoor 3.5's format.
-
- SETUP

- See the FILES.DOC and QS_NEW.DOC and QS_UPGRD.DOC files for more

- CREDITS
- ~~~~~~~
- I would like to thank several SysOp's here in Jacksonville, Energy
- Service BBS, C.S.I Giga Free BBS, , HHDC BBS, and System_Support BBS in
- Atlanta GA for beta-testing this program.
-
- I especially want to thank Kim Namanny (C.S.I. SysOp) and his wife for
- putting up with all of the late nights that he and I spent on the phone
- (both voice and data) to test the door and various experimental
- configurations. Without Kim's help we would never have gotten the door
- off to such a good start.
-
- I also want to thank my wife (whose patience is that of a saint) and my
- two children (Kelly and Josh) who kept me going with soda and beer runs
- to the refrigerator.
-
- Last but certainly not least, Bob Rinker, co-sysop of the Eagle's Nest
- BBS here in Jacksonville, FL, for all his help around all the tight
- spots in the 'C' code. The Verify Door and accompanying programs are
- the combined efforts of both Rick Prince and Bob Rinker.
-
-
- THE FINE PRINT
