The author will not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages resulting from the use of this program.

(In other words, Use at your own risk) ╔══════════════════════╗ ║█▓▒░ Introduction ░▒▓█║ ╚══════════════════════╝ What exactly is SL-CallBack, you may be asking. SL-CallBack is essentially a Callback-verification door SPECIFIC to Searchlight BBS! Instead of having to spend hours voice- validating users, or having important callers wait for you to validate them, they can get validated by your own system. I wrote it just because I couldn't find a working CBV door for SL-BBS, much less one that did everything I wanted it to do... ********************************* NOTICE: This will only work with SearchLight version 2.25! ********************************* SL-CallBack has the following features: *** Does it's OWN communications support, reads in necessary information direct from SL files... works correctly at locked baud rates (38400 at least...) *** Automatic flagging of "911" numbers as BAD *** Sysop-definable list of "BAD" numbers - numbers NOT to call. Can now use WILDCARDS! (ie 922???? to block all numbers starting with 922) *** Maintains list of previously validated users and numbers, so no user can get more then one account *** Automatically calls user back, and (if validated) updates their access levels, session time limits, file ratio, attributes, expiry date, time remaining, etc. ONLINE.. *** Reads the new validation levels from your Default Access Levels in CONFIG.SL2 , the second setting ('B') *** Optionally, sets preferences like the Sub/Mail Disposition prompts to On/Off, File List Format to Short/Long/Prompt, etc. This lets you set new-user preferences to your OWN defaults! (REGISTERED VERSION ONLY!) *** Optionally send Mail to the SysOp (Requires SLMAIL to be in either the path or the same dir as SLCALL) to inform him/her that the user has been validated. Also includes the new access levels. *** Does NOT support LD calls... WHY? Most sysops I've seen don't use the feature, and a one less useless feature is one less thing to go wrong :)... If there is a need for this, contact me, and I'll write it in... *** Runs in a multinode environment. ╔═════════════════╗ ║█▓▒░ Upgrade ░▒▓█║ ╚═════════════════╝ To upgrade from a previous version (0.06 +), just copy the .EXE to your new directory. That's all! ╔════════════════╗ ║█▓▒░ Set Up ░▒▓█║ ╚════════════════╝ *** Make a directory for SL-CallBack and unzip the contents of the archive into the directory. The archive should contain the following files: SLCALL.DOC - The Documentation (yer readin' it!) ORDER.FRM - Registration order form WHATS.NEW - Bug fixes and New Features SLCALL.EXE - SL-CallBack (The Program Itself) SLCONFIG.EXE - SL-CallBack installation program *.ANS - Assorted ANSI screens (customize them!) *.TXT - Assorted ASCII screens (customize them!) VERIFY.SL2 - List of verified numbers (read on) BADNUM.SL2 - List of Bad numbers (read on) *** Once this is done, run SLCONFIG.EXE. This will initialize the CFG file and let you select various options and settings. **************************** **** NEW OPTIONAL FEATURE*** **************************** *** NEW FEATURE!!! Instead of using a BADNUM.SL2 file, you can specify a list of prefixes that are the ONLY ones SL-CALL will dial. Do this by creating a file called "GOODNUM.SL2". THe format is as follows: 459 450 451 <---- 459, 450 and 451 are allowed. Wildcards can also be used (457???? or, if you really wanted, ???1234) To disable the feature, delete the GOODNUM.SL2 file *************************** *************************** *************************** *** Edit the BADNUM.SL2 file with a text editor. The format is as follows: 9671111 4590688 .. Each line being the actual phone number you want RESTRICTED. Note: *NO* dashes! Note: 911 is automatically built into the program as a no-no #. * Wildcards may also be used. For example, to block all numbers beginning with 922: 922???? Likewise, all numbers ending in "1234": ???1234 *** Go into CONFIG.SL2 and modify the Default Access Level 'B' to your liking. *** Customize the .ANS/.TXT files for your BBS. It isn't necessary, but it will help SL-Callback to fit in to your BBS... *** To set it up as a door in SL 2.25, do the following: 1. Command Name ................. Validation Door 2. Command Key .................. V 3. Description .................. Use Callback verifier 4. Minimum Access Level ......... 0 5. Maximum Access Level ......... 5 -(new user level) 6.

Abort Method ................. NONE 14. Write Protection ............. NO 15. Parameter File ............... NONE 16. Pause after door ............. NO *** To set it up as a New-User autodoor, do the following 1. Command ...................... SLCALL.exe d:\bbs\node1\ Trailing backslash a must! ----------------------^ 2. Directory Path ............... d:\bbs\doors\slcall 3. Communications Support ....... None 4. Abort Method ................. None 5. Write Protection ............. No *** That's all folks!

I'm not the best DOC writer, so excuse any problems in the above text. Ummm... just a reminder that it took a lot of time to write this door, so registration would be appreciated...

I will return the key to you either in the mail, via NetMail, by calling your BBS, calling you voice, or along with a disk with the latest version. It's your choice.
