Hello, All.

I'm setting up BT 2.60XE (DOS version)...I've got everything set up, but I can't remember how to set up the errorlevels to drop to the BBS. I'm using speeds up to 38400 (this is for a dialup node). Any help is appreciated.

Oh, Happy New Year too. :)

Later,
Sean

Here's a simplified version:


If ErrorLevel 220 goto BBS ; Errors above 219
If ErrorLevel 219 goto LOOP ; Exit from Event file
If ErrorLevel 54 goto BBS ; 19200 bps
If ErrorLevel 30 goto LOOP ; Incoming ARCmail/pkt/file
If ErrorLevel 24 goto BBS ; 2400 bps
If ErrorLevel 14 goto LOOP ; Daily maintenance routine
If ErrorLevel 12 goto BBS ; 1200 bps
If ErrorLevel 3 goto BBS ; 300 bps
if errorlevel 2 goto max
if errorlevel 1 goto end
goto LOOP

I hope this helps.....

Oh, Happy New Year too. :)

and to you!

Cheers... Dallas

Locked port or fossil? wHich method, spawn exit or batch?
errorlevel 96 for 9600 baud, etc. REmember they wrap around past 255. I'd use bbsbatch, let it write out a batch which handles all those gory details and invokes the bbs using spawnbbs.bat
--- see your binkley docs.
DOn't have them let me know via netmail I'll get you started with some stuff.

Happy new year btw.

Hi Dallas,

If ErrorLevel 3 goto BBS ; 300 bps

^^^^^^^^
300 bps?

Didn't even know 300bps was still alive <grin>

Don't forget that you can also add function key exits that will produce ErrorLevel values that match the key use. That way you can automatically hit a
function key and using the discrete ErrorLevel value that produces. You can put an exit name location into the batch file that will do what you want.

if errorlevel 100 goto LOCAL ' F10 pops up MAX here
if errorlevel 90 goto Echomail ' F9 pops up Echomal scan
if errorlevel 80 goto Daywork ' F8 pops up a forced daily run
if errorlevel 70 goto Fmain ' F7 Personal operation
if errorlevel 60 goto Asksam ' F6 Asksam total database
if errorlevel 10 goto Funclist

And so on. In DOS I still have the really top operation AskSam complete relational database that has been scanning EVERY local echo for about 15 years now that can fine EVERY use of the four letter word XXXX in every echomail area
locally! Yes, true! Ain't so big a file in that if you realize what a fully relational database is, there is only one word XXXX in the database! Every related record to that XXXX is a huge integer pointer for everything else from there. Chortle.

Anyway, you get the idea what else you can do from just a function key exit program selection here.

I still have a 1200 baud modem for funzy purposes! As well, I actually still have an original floppy diskette with the original FidoNet BBS on it in my possission. I've been in this since the original 300/1200 baud modem game!

I've still got one. Haven't used it in over 20 years, but it's still here.
