S Source Line: Another name for a tagline. You should put
something here to identify that the message came from
your system. Another reason for the tagline, is that
occasionally, some of the message may get cut off, and
if there is a tagline, then only the tagline will get cut
off, and not any of the message. A typical tagline is
either a
humorous saying or it could be an advertisement for your
system. What you put there is limited to 74 characters
(MCI is allowed on the tagline).
Once you are finished editing each of your message subs, hit the RETURN to
save the configuration. Continue with each network message sub that you
wish to carry until you are finished.
Now, you are set up to start sending and receiving messages. Simple wasn’t
it?
19.10 SAVING YOUR NETWORK MESSAGE BASE
Just like you would save a non-networked message base, simply hit RETURN at
the change prompt, and all changes to the normal and network parameters of
that sub will be resaved.
19.11 CHANGING A NETWORKED SUB INTO A NORMAL SUB
Just like you changed a normal sub to a network sub, so would you change a
networked sub into a normal one. Simply change the type of subboard to
other than a network sub, and it will be removed from the network. If you
have no intention of having the sub as part of the network again, you will
also have to remove the ‘nc.*’ file as well. This will be covered in a
following area.
19.12 MULTI-NET AND THE E-MAIL SYSTEM
Multi-Net is capable of private E-Mail between two or more systems, and is
activated by the ONLY new command that Multi-Net incorporates into C-NET,
the command ‘NS’. To send e-mail to another system, the user must enter
this command, and C-NET will prompt the user for the handle of whom the
intended receiver is, and what system he is trying to send it to. To get
the message to that user without any sysop intervention, he must have these
parameters correct, else the message will be put into a ‘deadmail’ file.
This will be handled in a future version of Multi-Net.
If a user would like to send a message to the Sysop of another BBS, he may
address the message to ‘SYSOP’ and it will AUTOMATICALLY go to the sysop of
the destination system. If you wish to send the same mail to another Sysop
in the network, you will be prompted for this. Just use the ‘Y’ key to
send the same mail to the next sysop.
19.13 THE FUTURE OF MULTI-NET
Multi-Net is a full-fledged network package for C-NET, yet, it is not
limited to its present form. There are a multitude of changes that could
be made to make it faster, even more reliable, and a more envious package
for other BBS systems.
