Short: WPL based FrontEnd system by James McOrmond

This archive contains JamTool/JTPhoneBook and JamScan.
What is JamMail?
JamMail is the first WPL.library mailer genertor. What this means is
through the use of the JamMail program, you will be generating a custom
Front end for your system. No extra code will be in the .wpl file that
isn't required for your system. If you are running as an end user and
don't answer the phone at all, not a line of code that is for answering
the phone will be created. Once you have generated your S:JamMail.Wpl
file, you will not need to run the JamMail program again unless you need
to change something. The S:Setup script launches WPL and loads and runs
the S:JamMail.wpl script that you generated.
The file JamMail.FAQ contains answers to some frequently asked questions.

Those of you currently running a version of Jammail, please send me a message
with your current wish list and i'll see what I can do.
Note: Some users are still experiencing random crashes related to the
scheduler. Usually these are unaccellerated systems, but not always.
For systems having these symptoms, an old version of JamTool (0.28)
is also included in this archive which can be used.
Changes - September 18th -> 27th
- long drawn out battles with the emsi.library trying to get things
working with Shane connecting to D'Broke and one TrapDoor system.
- add line/modem option now setting default stack. Previously no default
was set, so 0 was used, which caused instant guru when new lines were
launched.
Changes - September 17th
- Login Menu Commands are now completely disablable - No Grabs, no downloadable
files and no bulletins. Very similar to a straight "FidoNet" frontend
mailer system.
Changes - September 16th
- Finishing off supporting alternative "node numbers" in the scheduler and
other areas.
Changes - September 15th
- Login Connect Msg can now be disabled (the connect / time line sent to
inbound callers)
- Each JamMail "node" can be considered a different "line" number relative
to the rest of your system. (ie, JamMail's first line could be line
number 4 of your BBS).
Changes - September 14th
- Little changes all over the system
- Default Cnet launch string now uses Cnet: assign.
- modem initializing sequence cleaned up
- Scheduler system numbers are now lined up correctly.
- Finally got someone online testing with both a bad Trapdoor system, and
a D'Broke system, so massssive amounts of outbound EMSI debugging done.
- thanks to Shane Gouseman from OHIO
- Outbound sessions to D'bridge seem to work perfectly now.
Changes - September 11th
- Bi-directional protocol display support added to WPL.
Bi-directional display version of XprZedZap created as well.
- *PLEASE* send me comments on the new xpr window look.
- Baud rated included in xpr transfer window title.
- jammail.library now correctly parses non-ftn addresses without
removing domain/sub-domain information for EMSI handshakes.
Changes - September 9th
- New and improved super duper (ya :-) outbound EMSI handling. I haven't
found a system it doesn't work on. There doesn't seem to be any timeout
problems anymore right at the start, so should fix problems connecting
to slow systems, or those with large banners.
- wording of "EMSI AKA's string" changed to "EMSI Addresses string", since
it does require your primary as well. These addresses are the *ONLY*
ones that will be sent in an EMSI session.
Changes - September 8th
- *FIXED* wplemsi.library stack usage that was causing "new" versions of
Jammail to crash after EMSI sessions.
- Added stack configuration option so each line can have its own stack
setting. 10k default, I would not suggest going lower than 5k or so.
Changes - September 6th
- fixed situation where outbound calls that collide with an inbound call
would be dialed again immediately, before inbound call is answered.
- removing transfer debugging (pi1, pi2,.... msg1,msg2)
Changes - September 2nd
- fixed getinbound command settings when EMSI is disabled completely
Changes - September 1st
- fixed bug in Modem response configs where it would allow more than 18
responses to be added.
Changes - August 30th
- added "q" and "x" as synonyms for the "quit" command at the login prompt.
- added "#? #?" as equivalent to typing ? which will catch people that type
in real/proper names at the prompt.
- possibly fixed problem with non-locked modems.
- added inbound EMSI_REQ banner at front of login stuff to possibly catch
some systems that can't handle banners before it.
Changes - somewhere in here
- JamScan 0.65 bug fixed regarding reading of #?.?LO files.
Was home for a weeks vacation. First time home since Easter!
Changes - August 17th
- Setup script now closes executing lines before starting up again
when scheduler isn't running, or the scheduler doesn't close them
down when the scheduler is closed.
- adding debugging during fidonet transfers trying to find location where
Xferq.library lockup occurs.
Changes - August 16th
- really fixed the ability to disable scheduler.
Changes - August 15th
- added "Reply ASAP" option to scheduler menu. This causes the line
to return a result of 0 for the call, as soon as it gets a connect
message. The "Real" call status is not returned. Those using the
JamMail scheduler that have multiple lines, can enable this to
allow multiple outbound calls at the same time. Previously, it
would only do one.
- return codes from "Call" commands directly to a line are now defined.
0 - session ok
1 - session failed (transfer)
5 - Busy
10 - Timeout/No Carrier (Maid Response)
15 - No Dial Tone (Line Response)
20 - Bad Site (no phone number)
25 - Bad Call type listed for site in phonebook (not supported)
30 - Failed Handshake.
- Added Ability to disable Scheduler again. Working towards cleaning
this area up.
- Call Collisions are now always forwarded directly back to the same
line to be done after inbound session is finished.
- updated todo list.
- updated makearchive script - now tests archive, and creates .readme
file.
