day, and as the last hour (LH) you need to use 2400 (or midnight),
OTHERWISE, Multi-Net will attempt to call from 6 AM until 11
PM (exactly the opposite). The window you define for each
system will need to fit into each day. (RECOMMENDATION:
Use 1 AM to 6 AM for your long distance connection windows. It
will attempt to call out every hour from 1 AM until 6:59 AM.)
LH: Last Calling Hour: This is the last hour of the day that
Multi-Net will attempt to call that particular
connection. It is important to remember that it will
try to call to the 59th minute of that hour, so, if you don’t
want it to call starting at 7 AM (for example),
remember to set the last hour at 6 AM.
When you are finished editing that connection, entering RETURN at the “Item
to Change” prompt will cause the network to ask if you would like to save
any changes you might have made. Hit the ‘Y’ to save the information, and
return to the list of your connections to edit more or to exit the editing,
just hit the RETURN again.
NB This command is to make a Bridge Connection to anther node that you
do not connect with directly. It is not recommended that you use this
command, as any messages or net mail that has to go to another node, will
pass through your connecting node to the receiving node.
19.9 EDITING NETWORK MESSAGE BASES
Now comes the fun part of setting up the network, namely the networked
message bases. It is VERY IMPORTANT that every thing mentioned here is
done properly, otherwise, all you will get is a lot of grief. Setting up
the message bases is a simple procedure, however, there are items that need
to be done one way and ONE way only.
You can get a list of the networked message bases from your connecting BBS.
From this list, you can decide which message subs you wish to carry. It
is not necessary to carry all of the subs, however, there are two (2) that
each and every node MUST carry. Those two message subs are called C-NET
and SYSOP2.
Both of these subs carry information for the Sysop of each network node to
keep them abreast of what is happening both with the C-NET 128 software as
well as what is happening in the Multi-Net. Both of these message subs
should only have Sysop or co-sysop access only. These subs are not meant
for the general public.
Okay, once you have decided which message subs you wish to carry, you have
to add them to the message base using the ‘AL’ command. Once you have done
that, then you must edit each of the message subs, using the ‘Eln’ command
(where ‘n’ is the number of the message sub you wish to edit). The main
difference between these subs and your local message bases, is that when it
come time to edit the type of board, you use the ‘4’ to make it a networked
board. Once you do that, you will notice that there is more to edit than
your local message subs. This is where you MUST do things properly.
For this example, we will use the message sub C-NET as the one we will
edit. Each message sub will be edited in the same manner. The only
differences will be the connection, the net name, or the access group
