-------------------------------------- Documentation for the All American BBS By Nickolai A. Smith (919)-497-0989 -------------------------------------- The All American BBS is quite a remarkable BBS if I do say so myself. The BBS supports the NEW PUNTER File Transfer protocol by Steve Punter. It can be used with 1, 2 or 3 drives. It has security levels, post your own bulletins, Discussions, Email, Chat, Feedback, Help section, List members, Baud Rate 300/450, System Info Notice, Time On-Line, Status of a caller, Transmit an ASCII File, and best of all, this BBS is easy to use. It uses all sequential files! Setting up the BBS! 1. From the menu, you choose 'Utility & Setup' program. 2. Choose to create all the necessary files needed to run the BBS. 3. Enter the phone number that you will be using for log on. To change your password, you select at the main menu while on the BBS. Notes on Operation of the BBS: 1. Access levels of 2 or 3 are needed for file transfers. 2. If a caller is not validated then he cannot post bulletins, post a discussion or send E-mail. 3. Access level 1 or greater is needed for viewing the 'Pirate' bulletin. 4. If you Do Not put in the file disk before you run the BBS, Then it will crash at the first caller. Special Note: The 2 & 3 drive versions are different from the 1 drive version because the files needed to run the BBS are on the same side as the D/L programs so to take care of the situation you will have to rename all the files for D/L. This BBS recognizes files that begin with '' as D/L files on the 1 drive version. Also a sequential file titled 'DIRECTORY' lists the files that can be D/L. The caller never has to know about it. He simply enters the name as he sees it on the 'DIRECTORY' file. You can use the 'CREATE D/L DIR' to make the seq. file. Or use a word processor that uses seq. files. Such as Easy Script. On the 2 and 3 drive versions, you don't have to have '' in front of each file name to be D/L.
