MAIN command level.
Restart e-mail is no longer a valid option for v6.*. It will still do
everything it says it will, but, your e-mail system will NOT be restarted
due to a difference in file structures.
18.6 CALL-BACK VALIDATION CONFIGURATION
Once your C-NET is fully functioning and operational, you may elect to have
C-NET help you with validating accounts by calling back your users assigned
to the New User access level. To create this file, you should have a list
of all the local exchanges that your system can reach. You will first be
asked for your area code, and then whether you have tone or pulse dialing.
Finally, it will prompt you for an exchange area to dial, and you should
enter only the exchanges that are valid for your area.
When you are finished entering exchanges, press RETURN without entering
anything, and C-NET will save the numbers file for you. You will be placed
at the MAIN command level when it is finished.
18.7 BAD NUMBERS FILE CREATION
Once your C-NET is fully functioning, it is possible to have C-NET restrict
certain phone numbers from users trying to ‘break into’ the BBS. Numbers
such as network services, or other dial in services can be entered here to
restrict the user from entering them. You might also have your BBS phone
number in here so that it won’t be entered either.
To create the file, simply follow the prompts that C-NET will ask you to
create the file. When you are finished entering phone numbers to restrict,
press RETURN. C-NET will save the file and return you to the Main Command
level.

19.0 NETWORKING
Welcome to the world of networking! Multi-Net is an extremely powerful,
and economical networking package designed with you, the Sysop, in mind.
It has many features that make it very simple to operate, as much of the
hard work is built-in to the package. First, an introduction to the
software, what it can do, and then we will describe what you can do.
19.1 WHAT IS A NETWORK?
Simply put, a network is a means by which two computers can automatically
pass information. It is automated to the point that there need not be a
human sitting at either computer, the computer has the ability to ‘think’
for itself, and based on a variety of possibilities, can come to the
desired conclusion.
Multi-Net can do all of that, with both public and private messages. It is
fully automated in that it is nearly totally transparent to the user. In
fact, your users only need to learn one more C-NET command, and they have
mastered Multi-Net. The new command is ‘NS’ (for Net-Mail Send), to send a
private (E-mail) message to another user on another system. Public
