If you want your PBBS to only accept messages for you, you can set the
PBPERSON command ON. When set ON, this command will make your PBBS
only accept messages that are addressed to your MYCALL, MYPBBS or
PBLIST.
Finally, the PBLO command is used to determine the order in which messages
are listed to a user. When set to OLD, messages will be sent oldest first (message
1, then 2, etc). When set to NEW, the most recent message will be listed first.
The second parameter of this command determines whether or not you will allow
a PBBS user to change the listing order while he is connected. When set to
FIXED, the user cannot change the order, and when set to VARIABLE, the user
may change the order by connecting to the PBBS and using the LO command.
Remote SYSOP Access to the PBBS
You can gain remote SYSOP access to your PBBS (e.g., to edit messages, using
the EDIT command) by first connecting to your PBBS and then entering the
SYSOP command. When you enter the SYSOP command, you will receive three
sets of numbers from the PBBS. These numbers indicate the character positions
of the RTEXT to be used as the password for logging on for this remote access.
For instance, let’s say your RTEXT is:
This is a sample rtext.
Now when you give the SYSOP command, the TNC might respond with:
1 12 3 18 6 9
2 10 22 5 7 18
13 16 4 9 1 20
If you choose the first set of numbers, you should send the following as a re-
sponse:
Tairia
(T is the 1st letter, a is the 12th letter, i is the 3rd letter, and so on. See the
RTEXT command in the Commands section for a more detailed explanation.)
NOTE: Spaces DO count as characters, and case is significant!
