Setup hints for using BGFAX with Maximus/2 05-01-95

THIS FILE ASSUMES YOU ARE RUNNING THE *OS/2* VERSION OF MAXIMUS
Because Maximus does not offer the ability to exit when it detects a fax
response code from the modem, you must run BGFAX2 in /HOST mode. Thus,
BGFAX2 will answer the phone rather than Maximus!
1. From now on, to get your system ready to answer calls, start up your
BBS by using the FBBS.CMD as given below
2. Be sure all the BGFAX files are copied into the directory as specified
by the BGFAX environment variable (A "SET BGFAX=C:\BGFAX" line must
exist in either your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS or FBBS.CMD file).
3. Make sure your BGFAX.CNF file is configured to use the proper fax class
that your modem supports (you may need to comment and uncomment some
lines in the BGFAX.CNF file).
You need to make a file called FBBS.CMD in the BGFAX directory.
@echo off
rem ***** This is an example command file for frontend mode operation
set bgfax=c:\bgfax
c:
cd %bgfax%
bgfax2 /host /sb
if errorlevel 4 fbbs.cmd
if errorlevel 3 local.cmd
if errorlevel 2 goto datacall
if errorlevel 1 fbbs.cmd
goto end
:datacall
rem ***** Errorlevel 2 = Data Call, Errorlevel 3 = Local Logon
rem ***** The following line executes the DOBBS.BAT file created by BGFAX2
rem ***** which then runs EXEBBS.BAT which should load your BBS software.
%bgfax%\dobbs.bat
:end
The /SB switch is required to make BGFAX/2 work with Maximus/2. This causes
BGFAX/2 to _spawn_ Maximus and put the OS/2 com handle in the DOBBS.CMD file
rather than the com port number.
You also need to make a file called EXEBBS.CMD in the BGFAX directory.
@echo off
d:
cd\max
maxp -b%1 -p%2
When Maximus exists and returns to BGFAX/2 from the spawn, BGFAX/2 will
then exit with an errorlevel 1 for "recycle" so that your FBBS.CMD will
restart BGFAX.
