- ==============================================================================
-
-
- Syntax:
- nxdip <nxbbs.cfg> [/B <drop-file>] [/I <ip_address>] [/Q <comport irq>]
- [/A <comport address>] [/C <comport>] [/U <comport baud>]
-
-
- Where:
- <drop-file> is the path and filename of one of the following dropfiles:
- CALLINFO.BBS, CHAIN.TXT, DOOR.SYS, DORINFOx.DEF, PCBOARD.SYS,
- SFDOORS.DAT or XTRN.DAT
- <ip_address> is this node's IP address (eg. 204.191.36.201)
-
- This node's IP address may be assigned in the command line parameter or in
- the environmental variable 'IP'.
-
- Example: SET IP=204.191.36.201
-
-
- Operation:
- Call this program as a door from your BBS. It handles all SLIP/CLIP
- encoding and decoding.
-
- Make sure that you load a packet driver before running this door.
- For more information on packet drivers, look on
- 'http://www.merlinsys.com/conect.htm'.
- This packet driver will be used to connect up to the Internet.
-
- Example batch file:
-
- c:\nxbbs\nxdip c:\nxbbs\nxbbs.cfg /b door.sys
-
-
- Termination:
- - Sysop presses <Esc> on the local console
- - User's daily time runs out
- - Carrier is lost
-
-
- User Configuration:
- The user must have configured their IP address correctly on their end.
- Their IP address must be one that is 'owned' by you. If they set their
- IP address to 0.0.0.0, then the internal BOOTP server in NXSLIP will
- take care of their IP Address request and return this node's IP Address.
-
- The user's netmask may be anything at all since they are using SLIP.
- Usually , they can just set it to '0.0.0.0'.
