BaudCheck is a program for BBS's with both HIGH SPEED and LOW SPEED
lines. It checks the user's Baud rate and if it is less than the baud
specified in the config file "BaudCheck.config" then a message, notifying
the user to call one of the lower baud lines, is displayed.
******* MULTIPLE PORTS ARE SUPPORTED! See the docs below *******
CHANGES 3.0
-----------
1: Recompiled for CNet/3.
2: Now supports all 100 CNet ports!
3: Password ByPass added (the password must exist in a file called
SYSDATA:BaudCheck.passwords and it is NOT case sensitive.
When a user logs on who is about to be duped (referred to another port),
he/she will have the opportunity to hit "S" and enter the password to
bypass the mandatory port referral.
CHANGES 2.0
-----------
You can now have 5 (OR MORE) high speed lines and 4 or 5 (or more) low baud
lines and port referral will be performed accurately!!
You must, however, create a baudcheck.messX entry in SYSTEXT: for each port
that you are using as referral ports. I have provided my baudcheck.mess1
(for port 1) as a guideline. If you use ports 3 and 5 as referral ports,
then you must also have text files called "baudcheck.mess3" and
"baudcheck.mess5" in your SYSTEXT: directory.
Changes to "SYSDATA:Baudcheck.config"
-------------------------------------
The first line in this file are the ENFORCE ports.. The ports which are
preferred high speed ports. Each port number on this line must be separated
by commas (ie. 2,3,4,7).. This would cause low baud callers on lines 2,3,4
and 7 to be asked to call one of the referral ports (see below) if any are
free. If not, then login will be allowed as usual.
The second line in this file is the REFERRAL ports.. This line follows the
same format as line 1 in baudcheck.config also, with each port number
separated by commas. DO NOT use the same port numbers as you did for the
ENFORCE settings!
And last but not least, line 3 contains the LOWEST baud allowed on the
ENFORCE ports.. That is, an entry of 9600 on that line will cause callers on
enforced ports to be referred to a low baud port if one is available.
Installation:
-------------
Copy BaudCheck to your PFILES: directory or another suitable location.
Copy BaudCheck.config to your SYSDATA: directory and edit it according to the
descriptions of the lines as noted in that file.
Create BaudCheck.messX files in your SYSTEXT: directory. the "X" on the end
is a port number and that number is also the referral port's number.. This
provides you with the ability of having seperate messages for each referral
port such as:
"You have connected to <BBS NAME>. Please call line X (referral port) at
<phone number> as it is free and accepting lower baud users"
Edit line 19 of BBSTEXT so that it reads as follows..

This need not be exact
That's it. I'll be making many other changes as mentioned above, when my
newer projects are completed.
