enough to run these programs at full speed. The mailer could give CRC errors
and the bbs seemed to stop now and then. To overcome this problem all
programs started with the -quiet switch (background jobs) are stopping for
short periods so that they would use less system resources. Systems with SCSI
disks or other fast and well designed machines don't have a need for that
slowdown. In mbsetup menu 1.5.17 is the setting for the speed of all utility
programs, the default is slow. You might try this set to fast and see what

mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>There are several reasons why mbcico refuses to call
an internet node, most problems are nodelist related. A internet node with
binkp protocol should be listed with the flags CM,IBN before mbcico will make
a call. Also, in the nodelist system name field there should be the hosts
full qualified domainname so that mbcico can get that node's IP address. If
one of these items are missing, the node will not be called. To correct this
problem there are two options, make sure the node is listed with a dns name
and proper flags in the nodelist. The second option is to add a setup record
for that node and fill in the nodelist override fields. You can find these in
menu 7.3, item 5 can be filled with the nodelist flags, ie. CM,IBN and item 6
can be used to give that node's fdn or IP address. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>If the call still fails there are several things that must be right
before mbcico makes any internet call. In mbmon, screen 2 (SERVER STATS)
there are flags that indicate if the system is running, internet is available
and the bbs is open. If one of these is No, then no call will be made. (For
POTS the Internet flag does not matter of course). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>In mbsetup, screen 18 (taskmanager), you need to set the maximum TCP
sessions to allow. This is inbound and outbound together. So if you set this
to 3 and 3 or more systems are already calling in via internet, your system
will not call anymore until the amount of TCP sessions drops below 3.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>If you set this to high on an average cable/adsl connection, you can
get into trouble because you use up all upstream bandwidth. (We have seen a
lot of errors at a busy when the upstream speed was 64K and downspeed 512K
and about 4 sessions together). A good rule seems 1 TCP session for each 32K
bandwidth. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>There are 2 methods for providing InterBBS setup. If
your system merely connects to one host for your games packets you need only
perform a few simple steps to have it working. If your system is a Host for
InterBBS games you will also need to add a script to separate different
packets for different downlink systems.<br>
<br>
Common to Both Methods:<br>
With most BBS games you will need 2 directories in your dos filesystem area. One
for the inbound packets and one for netmail messages door games produce to
send outbound packets. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>The easiest way to solve this is by creating symlinks from your MBSE
directories into the directory where your dos doors live (c:\doors). The 2
directories you wish to link are /opt/mbse/var/inbound and /opt/mbse/var/msgs
- link them into your dos directories doors directory with the same names ie:
&quot;inbound&quot; and &quot;msgs&quot;. Now according to dosemu you will
have a c:\doors\inbound and a c:\doors\msgs. We do not actually use the
&quot;msgs&quot; directory for anything other than a place to tell games
where to write its netmails to. These &quot;netmails&quot; are subsequently
deleted from the system, but the games need to be able to write them there. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

usually write files as owner root, chmod 0644. This is not good for MBSE to
transfer these files as it does not have permission to act on the files. In
order to force dosemu to write games files so that MBSE can act upon them we
need to alter /etc/sudoers and change the umask for root running under sudo. To
do this open /etc/sudoers (you must be root to edit this file) and add the
following line at the top of the file before the specifications:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language:

<p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>1C. Tell Bre (in its BBS.CFG) that the path for inbound packets is
c:\doors\inbound and the netmail path is c:\doors\msgs Bre will now
automatically process all inbound packets it finds in the inbound directory for
itself. It needs no assistance as it merely searches for the correct filename
in the directory.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>1D. We need to link Bre's outbound path to our host nodes MBSE mailbox
for automatic transfer of games packets. First make sure you have added an
&quot;outbox&quot; for your uplink node in the nodes setup in MBSE - Section
7, Select Uplink, Menu 1, Section 2 &quot;outbox dir&quot;. eg: if your
uplink is 3:640/954 then MBSE will default to creating
/opt/mbse/var/boxes/node3_640_954 as the outbox (I will use this as an example).
Note the flavour of your uplinks node connection will apply to the outbox as
well. Thus if that particular node is set crashmail then anything you put in
the outbox will also be sent crashmail.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>Next go to your Bre game directory. You will notice Bre has an OUTBOUND
directory, this is where it places all its game packets that are to be sent
to the uplink. We need to delete this directory and instead create a symlink
to the node outbox instead. If Bre is in c:\doors\bre then the symlink
command will be:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>ln -s /opt/mbse/var/boxes/node3_640_954 /dos/c/doors/bre/OUTBOUND<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>Alter the above depending on where your linux path to your dos is,
also remember linux is case sensitive! Note you can also make as many
synlinks as you like to the nodes outbox, so if you have 2 or 3 different
games you send to that node you can link the outbox to each games outbound
directory. Also if you have different games to different host nodes just link
the game outbound directories to the outboxes of each node.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>Thats it. The system will now process inbound and outbound packets
automatically. You will however need to delete the netmails in the msgs
directory - I have included this in the Door game maintenance section further
on.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>If you experience problems with your system polling nodes and sending
the game mail packets while a user is online within the game then you might
wish to use the dos &quot;share.exe&quot; so packet files are not being
accessed by both the game and the mailer at the same time. You can load
share.exe within your doors.bat in dos root directory.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>1D. We need a script to process the Bre outbound packets and add them
to MBSE's node outboxes path so they are sent. A script on how to do this
follows (with comments ). First remember to create your outboxes for each
node that you transfer games packets to. I will use 3:640/954 as above and
1:123/456 for this example of 2 systems linked to the one Bre game. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language:

# '048b0201' is the packet name Bre creates. You can find out what<br>
# your packet name is by running BRE PLANETARY and then checking inside<br>
# the Bre OUTBOUND directory - note no ext on name. You should also check<br>
# your nodes dat for which is which 048b0201 means from system 2 to system 1<br>
# so you would be system 2 in the nodes dat and 1 would be 3:640/954<br>
# 048b0203 is obviously to system 3 in the nodes dat - 1:/123/456 in our<br>

mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Ok, so you can setup doors, run inbound and outbound
for interbbs games. So how do you do maintenance? <br>
Again by scripts. Again I will use BRE as an example. First I create a
maintenance batch file in my C: root directory. I have called it maint.bat
and for the bre game it looks like this: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<pre style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:

BRE INBOUND<br>
BRE SCORES<br>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Arial;color:black;
mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>if you are familiar with Bre you will know this to
be a standard sort of maintenance except for the &quot;exitemu&quot; at the
end. That is there because we are going to use a script to start dosemu and
call the maint.bat - so afterwards we need it to exit dosemu. <br>
Now a maintenance script to be called from your cron or whatever else you are
using to execute events on your system. I call this script
&quot;dos_maint&quot; and it also lives in /opt/mbse/bin<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<pre style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Arial;color:black;
mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>You will notice this script starts dosemu and calls
maint.bat, and then when its finished there it deletes all those games
netmails and if you run the script for multiple hosts for your games it can
call that as well. Please note the second line is all ONE line, it has most
probably wrapped here. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>You will notice that the script calls dosemu and not dosemu.bin, this
is because we need to tell dosemu to open a dumb terminal and not display to
a console or screen. By use of the redirection we redirect the normal console
output to a file, here I have used /opt/mbse/log/dos.log as that is where all
of MBSE's other logs reside. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>Once &quot;dos_maint&quot; is run via the cron it will run maintenance
on your dos doors, process inbound/outbound interBBS game packets and have
your outbound packets ready to send. Thats about all there is to do :)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>Note: You can make variants on these scripts for running daily
maintenance or just packet processing at certain times of day. They are just
variations on the information above, but if you have questions, contact me! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
