Even though this program is set up to run as-is....
THIS IS NOT A "CLICK IT AND I'M A SYSOP" MAC SIMPLE TYPE APPLICATION !!
You are about to become a "Sysop" of a BBS. Setting up a BBS is
NEVER a simple thing, there's too many variables involved. You
want your BBS to look different in your own way, you are
using a different modem, different modules, etc...
The INSTRUCTIONS for MUBBS are located in "MUBBS Tools" under
the "Apple" menu.
"MUBBS Quick Start Manual" is provided to get you going quickly
but it DOESN'T TELL YOU EVERYTHING!
USE "JolliWrite" TO EDIT FILES! (that you are allowed to modify)
It works very well. If you use "TeachText" or "Word" it might
cause problems!
THE MAC SCREEN IS SLOW ON A MAC PLUS, but don't worry, the users
get FAST FAST stuff!!
TAKE OUT THOSE STUPID INIT's !!!!! (start with a NEW system too!)
I you have the "COMM TOOLBOX" mickey mouse upgrade for 6.0.7
installed you need to install a NEW SYSTEM to get rid of it.
******************************************************************
THIS IS SET TO OPERATE FROM THE MAC SCREEN ONLY!!!!!
Use "MUBBS Tools" to set the user number to 2 for a single line
operation (1 modem and 1 Mac screen = 2 users).
******************************************************************
The MODEM STRINGS are set up for a "basic" Hayes compatable modem.
THEY ARE LIMITED and we ARE NOT using "Hardware Carier Detect" !!!
YOU MUST USE HARDWARE CARRIER DETECT before your BBS gets popular!
(again, read the docs here when you are ready for this)
There's GOOD reasons for carrier detect!!, read the docs for more
detail. Your modem cable MAY not be the right one.
You MAY need to change the modem strings if your modem is not
exactly Hayes compatable! (like using just "ATH" instead of "ATH0").
