You can customize a greeting message to be sent to a user who connects to your
PBBS by using the PTEXT command. This command accepts up to 128 characters as a
text string to be sent to the user immediately after the SID is sent.
If it becomes necessary to disconnect a station from your PBBS, you can use the local
terminal connected to your TNC to accomplish this (see DISCONNECT MYPBBS). If a
station connects to your PBBS and no activity occurs on the connection for 15 minutes,
the PBBS will automatically disconnect the user in order to make your PBBS available
to others.
Note: To get forwarding or reverse forwarding, you need to have HTEXT set. HTEXT
specifies your Hierarchical address, which is needed for complete return addressing
capability.
If a community bulletin board forwards messages into your PBBS, it sends you many
lines beginning with ―R:‖. These are routing headers that show the complete path taken
by this message. By default, these headers will be stored in your PBBS with the
message. If you choose, you may prevent your PBBS from storing these by setting the
PBHEADER command OFF (for more information, see the section below titled ―Routing
Lines‖).
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 PBLO is 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
2
13
12 3 18
10 22 5
16 4 9
6 9
7 18
