A This option allows you to enter the name and thephone number of your BBS.

B This option allows you to enter the username ofthe SysOp.

C This option allows you to enter your registration

number for the BBS program. However, sinceRenegade is currently an eta test, this optiondoes absolutely nothing.

D This option allows you to declare your chat hours.

When someone pages you during these hours, a bellwill sound to inform you that a user wishes tochat.

E This option defines the hours that the minimumbaud rate callers may log on. Some SysOps prefer

to restrict the hours available to users of lowerbaud modems for various reasons.

F This option defines the hours that file down-

loading is allowed.

G This option defines the hours that low baudcallers may download files.

H This option defines the SysOp, new user and baud

override passwords.

I This options sets the number of seconds before a

scheduled event is run in which the user iswarned.

J Menu where users with an undefined startout menuwill start from. (Normally set to MAIN) Thestartout menu is the menu which the user is firstin contact with. Some Sysops prefer to have themenu set to something else to perform some type ofmaintenance before the user gets to the main menu.

K Prefix of the Bulletin Files. (Normally left Blankor set to BULLET) Refer to Chapter 11-D-12, Sub-Bulletins for a explanation.

L This option allows you to tell Renegade if it has

1 or more n (If multi-node, you must use the-Nx command to load node x.)

M This option will allow you to turn the Network

mode on. It activates functions as:

a) Forces local security on.b) Disables all function keys unless a sysop is

logged on.

c) Disables the sysop window system.d) All WFC commands are disabled except the

obvious.e) If no node is specified on the command line,

the node will assume it is a local node, andautomatically configure itself as the nextavailable node number.

0 This option defines the directory in which yourmain data files are stored. (.DAT, .DIR, etc.)

Enter selection or (Q)uit :_______________________________________________________

Note that the command strings can contain the followingspecial characters:

"|" Sends a carriage return (^M) to the modem.

"^x" Sends a control character to the modem.

(^M can be typed as a | here.)

"~" Performs a half-second delay before sendingthe next character to the modem.

Each menu option is described in detail below.

1 This is the baud rate that Renegade will use whenwaiting for calls at the WFC menu. This should beset to the modem's maximum baud rate, either 300,1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 or 57600 baud.

2 This is the COM port that your modem is connected

to, which can be COM1 through COM8.

3 This is the command that initializes the modem.This is VERY important, as it tells the modem how tooperate under the BBS environment.

4 This is the command that enables the modem to answer

an incoming call.

5 This is the command that hangs up the modem.

6 This is the command that places the modem offhook.(Makes the phone line busy.)

7 This sets the time (in minutes) in which the modemwill be reinitialized if no one has called.(Warning: Do not set this to zero. If you do, themodem will be constantly reinitializing.)

8 This option lets you lock the COM port if you have a9600 baud or faster modem.

9 This option sets the baud rate to lock the COM port

at if you have option 8 set to "Yes".


5/31

A This option toggles CTS/RTS flow control on or off.Flow control tells the computer or modem when tostart and stop sending or receiving informationto/from the other device. (RTS/CTS is also known asHardware Flow Control.)

B Set this to the opposite of RTS/CTS flow control.

(It's technically same as RTS/CTS except it'sSoftware Flow Control. RTS/CTS is better if you cansupport it.)

C The minimum ACS setting required to be met by theuser trying to logon to the node so they can stayon.

D The complete path to where the door files(CALLINFO.BBS, DORINFOx.DEF, DOOR.SYS, etc.) will bewritten to for this node. (If blank, files arewritten to main BBS directory)

E The string inserted here sets what is displayed bythis node's line in the teleconference before theuser's text is sent normally.

F The string inserted here sets what is displayed bythis node's line in the teleconference before theuser's text is sent anonymously.

G The string inserted here sets what is displayed bythis node's line in the teleconference before theuser's text is sent globally.

H The string inserted here sets what is displayed by

this node's line in the teleconference before theuser's text is sent privately.

R These are the result codes returned by the modem

when the NO CARRIER, NO DIALTONE, BUSY and variousbaud rate conditions are encountered. Case 1 resultcodes are the main codes returned by the modem.Case 2 result codes are provided for persons usingMNP class modems. (Also called ARQ mode.)

reason there are 2 different colors for chat isbasically so that the Sysop and user knows who saidwhat.)

M This option sets the minimum amount of hard drivespace (in K) that must be available on the harddrive in order to post a message.

The "[" and "]" keys will allow you to move back andforth between each entry in the list.

1 This option specifies whether or not the archive format

is active.

2 This option specifies the extension used for filessaved in the particular archive format.

3 This option defines the way the board is to view thecontents of archive files in the current format.

/1 - Uses the internal ZIP file viewer/2 - Uses the internal ARC file viewer/3 - Uses the internal ZOO file viewer/4 - Uses the internal LZH file viewer/5 - Uses the internal ARJ file viewer

If you have defined an archive format that is notsupported internally, use this option to define thecommandline required to view the archive's contents.

When defining the command line, substitute the "@F" MCIcode where the actual filename would be placed.

4 This option defines the command line used to create orupdate an archive file using this format.

When defining the command line, substitute the "@F" and"@I" MCI codes where the actual archive filename and

file to be archived, respectively, would normally beplaced.

5 This option is similar to option 4, except that itdefines the commandline used to extract files from anarchive file. All rules and restrictions mentionedabove also apply.

6 This option is similar to option 4, except that itdefines the commandline needed to check the integrityof an archive file.


30/31

7 This option is similar to option 4, except that itdefines the commandline used to add a comment to anarchive file. Use the MCI code "@C" to insert thecomment line from the file base. (ie: pkzip -z@C @F ..Will add the comment selected in the file base to thefile.)

8 This option defines the ERRORLEVEL value that thearchiving program returns when an operation has beensuccessfully completed. Most programs return a levelof 0.
