HOT NEWS
|
|
|
|
Nothing of interest this week in the line of Hot
|
|
News, in between holidays and all that stuff. Fido 1 is
|
|
still down; newsletters are being mailed out from the secret
|
|
Fido 99 location, so they should get out a little faster
|
|
this week. (99 is on a private voice line, on my development
|
|
machine which I use during the day, so it's not a public
|
|
available number.)
|
|
|
|
Articles are slowly coming in; keep mailing them!
|
|
You can send articles to either Fido 1, 51 or 27, and they
|
|
will make their way to me. If received late (after Sunday)
|
|
then I may not get them in until the next week, but no
|
|
problem.
|
|
|
|
The FidoNet Users Group needs a new name. (The
|
|
acronym, FUG, isn't too pleasant!) Any ideas? One idea is to
|
|
choose a four word name, so that FIDO is an acronym, and
|
|
that Fido is the first word in it, so that it's an
|
|
infinitely recursive acronym, ie. "Fido Ixxx Dxxx Oxxx".
|
|
Just an idea ... more (better?) ideas are welcome!

Anyone want to write a regular (or sporadic) column?

Dallas, Texas (FNM) - A Dallas-area Fido sysop has taken Tom
|
|
Tcmpidis' dilemma to heart. After reading a FidoNews
|
|
article describing the continuing plight of Mr. Tcmpidis,
|
|
the realization that "open" bulletin board systems can be an
|
|
invitation to would-be software pirates and other
|
|
traffickers in illegal information led him to implement a
|
|
security system to ensure that callers to this particular
|
|
board were not "perfect strangers."
|
|
|
|
The means of "getting to know your callers" already exists
|
|
within the current release of the Fido software, with the
|
|
ability of Fido to screen callers who do not yet have a
|
|
valid password, and to request information from new callers
|
|
prior to the granting of full access to the features of the
|
|
board. This is described in "Fido's Operating Manual,"
|
|
release 10, as the Private Message System.
|
|
|
|
Most Fido sysops are aware that the capability for
|
|
generating a "private" system exist, by simply adding the
|
|
"/M" flag to the command line that starts the Fido software.
|
|
However, some may not have experimented with this, and it is
|
|
the purpose of this article to describe such a system.
|
|
|
|
If the "/M" parameter is specified on the command line, Fido
|
|
will not allow callers without an already-existing password
|
|
to reach the Main Menu. Instead, if a Questionnaire file,
|
|
named QNOPWD.BBS, exists in the BBS directory, Fido will
|
|
begin processing this questionnaire file, prompting the new
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fidonews -- 31 Dec 84 18:21:10 Page 3
|
|
|
|
caller to respond to the questions therein.
|
|
|
|
Once the new user has responded to all the questions, Fido
|
|
saves the responses in an "answer" file, known to the
|
|
operating system as ANOPWD.BBS. This sequential file keeps
|
|
all responses from all new callers, allowing the system
|
|
operator to review them, and add new callers to the USER
|
|
file as desired.
|
|
|
|
A sample of this kind of "new-user application" follows.

A little tidbit about modems.....
|
|
By: Jim Ryan, Fido #9
|
|
|
|
If you are using one of the "industry-standard"
|
|
modems (one of the ones that uses "Hayes" protocol),
|
|
here is a little tidbit of information that may help you
|
|
avoid a system "crash".
|
|
|
|
It is possible, on occassion, for a "gweep" to
|
|
gain control of your modem by entering three plus signs
|
|
on a command line. Although the "gweep" usually cannot
|
|
do more than stall your system for a short time, it is
|
|
possible with certain modems to disable the system for
|
|
hours.
|
|
|
|
A neat little trick is to add the command line
|
|
"ATS2=255" to your FIDOMDM.BBS file. This disables the
|
|
modem break character, thereby preventing the problem.

If anyone else has any good modem "tips", please
|

leave me a note on one of the Connecticut Fido's (until
|
|
Fido #9 has a more permanent home).

FIDO Suggestions
|
|
================
|
|
Might I suggest that a section be added to the
|
|
Fido_Newsletter to collect modification suggestions from
|
|
Fido Users? To start the list rolling, here are a few of
|
|
my favorite requests:
|
|
|
|
1. Allow a user to Read Forward New. When a user logs
|
|
off, FIDO would save the highest message number retrieved in
|
|
each System Area the user visited (limit of 10 areas). At
|
|
the users next call, issuing a Read Forward New command
|
|
(perhaps a R= as opposed to the R* most of us use), would
|
|
cause FIDO to determine the highest message number read by
|
|
the user in this system area on their last connection and
|
|
read forward from that point.
|
|
|
|
[tj
|
|
I'm now trying to figure out where to get the space
|
|
to do this. It would have to work like this: since there are
|
|
possibly up to 99 areas, all variable and changeable, Fido
|
|
will keep track of say the last 8 used. This requires two
|
|
bytes per msg area; the problem is that there is not 16
|
|
bytes available in the users record; it may mean a hack
|
|
program to convert the users record to a new format.
|
|
|
|
Also, if you RENUM an area, all the numbers are
|
|
wrong; this means that RENUM will have to be made to go
|
|
through and translate all the msg numbers in the users
|
|
record ]
|
|
|
|
2. File Dates. When a file was uploaded, the FILES.BBS
|
|
file could also include the date of upload. It would then
|
|
be possible to tell if any new files were uploaded since
|
|
your last call via a FN (Files New) command.
|
|
|
|
[tj
|
|
To be meaningful, the date has to be at least
|
|
consistent, preferably the creation date, or at possibly the
|
|
upload date. However, file dates are partially meaningless;
|
|
the problem is that when uploaded via XMODEM (etc) the file
|
|
is given the upload date, ie. created anew; TELINK, and
|
|
direct disk copy, preserve the original date. Therefore, it
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fidonews -- 31 Dec 84 18:21:27 Page 6
|
|
|
|
is likely that you may have a later version of a program
|
|
with an OLDER date on it. A meaningless date is worse than
|
|
no date at all. For this reason, I skipped the date
|
|
entirely. If anyone has a solution to this let me know!) ]
|
|
|
|
3. LIFO Users List. When requesting a display of the FIDO
|
|
Users, the list could be presented in chronological order
|
|
(most recent caller first). For remote SYSOPs, it would be
|
|
helpful to determine if the users uploaded/downloaded any
|
|
files. Although similar to the SYSOP.LOG file, this would
|
|
contain abbreviated data and would be in LIFO sequence.
|
|
|
|
[tj
|
|
It is extremely difficult to write to a file
|
|
"backwards", using a free form, not a preallocated file. The
|
|
U command really should list them backwards, though, thats
|
|
much easier. Ill see if I cant do that much.]
|
|
|
|
4. Ability to request a Net_Download. A special message
|
|
format (SYSOP privilege probably required) would allow
|
|
dialing into another FIDO node and requesting download of
|
|
particular software from a specified directory. Thus the
|
|
phone charges for file transmissions would be born by the
|
|
requester. (Possible use includes retrieval of this FIDO
|
|
Newsletter!).
|
|
|
|
[tj
|
|
... also called "pick Up Mail", in Usenet called
|
|
"Polling", ie. you can call in and see if there is mail or
|
|
files. Real Soon Now ... realistically, 3 months ... ]
|
|
|
|
5. Attached File Validation. When specifying that a file
|
|
should be attached to an outgoing networked message, FIDO
|
|
does not validate that the specified file exists. It would
|
|
be very comforting to have this validation performed when
|
|
the file path was specified to eliminate the possibility of
|
|
typographical errors causing unwanted suprises on next
|
|
months phone bill!
|
|
|
|
[tj
|
|
Yes, but it is a two edged sword ... it is sometimes
|
|
very useful to have it not check; ie. I send this newsletter
|
|
out with preentered messages, before the file is copied in,
|
|
so that hopefully by mail time the fiel is there and is sent
|
|
out right. This is a classic "damned if I do, damned if I
|
|
dont".
|
|
|
|
Eventualyl, Fido will let users attach files, whats
|
|
missing is the verification, and security and accounting.
|
|
For sysops, it will work as it does now. For regular users,
|
|
you will have to enter the filename(s) as:
|
|
"12:FILENAME.EXT", where "12" is the file area number. This
|
|
is a ways off, though. ]
|
|
|
|
If you would like to add to this list, agree with one of
|
|
these suggestions, or disagree with them, feel free to send
|
|
a FIDO_NET message me.

FIDO_FILES
|
|
==========
|
|
On a related topic, several of us are thinking about
|
|
developing a squeezed data file that could contain the
|
|
names, sizes, dates, descriptions, and machine dependencies
|
|
of user-contributed software residing in the public download
|
|
sections of FIDO BBS's. Our initial thoughts are to select
|
|
one FIDO as the coordinating center (this might be on either
|
|
Node 85 or Node 61 unless someone else really wants to
|
|
volunteer). The database would be maintained in PC-FILE III,
|
|
Version 2. The three files (.IDX, .HDR, and .DAT) would be
|
|
loaded into a library file with LU.EXE and then squeezed
|
|
with SQ2.EXE for efficient distribution. Thus FIDO users
|
|
looking for particular public domain software would know
|
|
where to call.
|
|
|
|
|
|
FIDO_BOARD_DESCRIPTIONS
|
|
=======================
|
|
Along the same lines, a PC-FILE database could be created
|
|
and centrally maintained that would list selected FIDO
|
|
users, their nodes, interests, and areas of expertise. Say,
|
|
for example, you need to contact someone experienced with
|
|
writing assembler code inside of a TURBO Pascal application.
|
|
By referring to this database one could identify various
|
|
people that have this knowledge and would be willing to help
|
|
you out. If anyone has any comments on this idea, feel free
|
|
to send a net_message to me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
FINAL_THOUGHTS
|
|
==============
|
|
Six months ago, I was convinced that the RBBS-PC software
|
|
was the best BBS available for any machine. However, after
|
|
being exposed to FIDO my opinion has really changed! The
|
|
ability to use networked messages, separate message and file
|
|
areas, and the scheduling capability of FIDO set it head and
|
|
shoulders above the others! All of us owe a real debt of
|
|
thanks to Tom Jennings who conceived, implemented, and
|
|
continues to develop FIDO.

Miscelaneous Pieces of Information

By: Jim Ryan, Fido #9
|
|
|
|
Well, once again I have had the opportunity to test Fido
|
|
with a few new modems. Here are my results-- hope they
|
|
are of some use to somebody..... somewhere.....

|
|
|
|
The General DataComm 300/1200 Modems do not have
|
|
dipswitches, but instead have a software dipswitch (like
|
|
the Rixon R212A and the Prentice POPCOM). In order to
|
|
set the software dipswitch, you must have this in your
|
|
FIDOMDM.BBS :

|
ATS17=1Z

|
|
|
|
Modem Flag : 1/J
|
|
Bit Flag : 3/J
|
|

|
|
|
|
In general, you shouldn't use the Maxwell modem
|
|
in Hayes mode-- the response time is terrible!!!! Use it
|
|
in it's native Vadic mode, you'll both be much happier.
