assistant: Hello Richard!
01 Dec 96, Richard Newsom writes to All:
    Why? The support is already there to provide a timed exit so you can fire
up a connection .cmd file and script. Since every ISP has a different login
sequence and displays your assigned TCPIP address differently, it would be an
unduanting task that would be outdated as soon as it was written.
    Why transfer files/mail via FTP when with OS2 and SIO we have VMODEM and
once the SLIP/PPP connection is started, start vmodem and then point your
mailer at a VMODEM port and dial another Fidonet system that is running
Vmodem?
    We already have it. There are many people that use FTP/Vmodem and a host
of other transfer means on the internet everyday and it is automated.
    We can't expect someone (mailer author) to be able to include each and
every type of ISP login and slip/PPP connection. Tossing WARP's IAK or TCPIP
package and REXX at the problem is better tools to work with than the DOS
people have, and there are a bunch of people using it as well.
Just an opinion,

    Check Binkley documentation. I use a event every to hours to start a
connection. You can also place a token into your outbound to force Binkley to
exit. (again check the documentation)
    Check "annex.cmd" that comes with WARP 3.0's IAK. I hacked at it so it
would call my ISP and start a connection. Since your ISP is undouptedly
different then mine, my REXX script won't work for you. (a little hacking is
in order here....)
    The FTP that comes with the IAK can be driven by scripts. Some people
like NCFTP (available at Hobbies) which is easier to operate.
    See SLIPKILL or KILLSLIP.ZIP at Hobbies.
    Easy .cmd file things here.
    Startup your normal mail/file processing.
    Something that does all the above with your ISP?
    No. You are not going to find it. You might be able to find a OS2 user
that uses the same ISP as you do that has connection scripts/instructions
(thats what I did the first time) and get help. Look in your ISP's local
newsgroups.

I run Maximus/2 on a 486dx4/100 with 8 meg ram and a Phoebe 33.6k modem.
The doors I currently have set up are: Lord, BRE, IronOX and TradeWars 2002.
None of them want to work.  Maximus puts COM5 (when I am actually on COM2) in
the door dropfile and then that door tries to use that port and fails and
then pops back to the BBS.  I have 4 COM ports in use.  COM1 is my Logitech
Serial Mouse, COM2 in my Phoebe 33.6k modem, and COM3 is my Virtual Modem
port.  My SIO lines in config.sys are as follows:
DEVICE=C:\SIO\SIO.SYS (COM2:115200,2F8,3,-) (COM3,INTERNET:3E8,NONE:4)
DEVICE=C:\SIO\VSIO.SYS
DEVICE=C:\SIO\VX00.SYS

really need to get this fixed.  Thanks.
