I run Binkley 2.60 for OS/2, Try to find a program called 'Mutex' filename is 'MUTEX*.*' This will do what you ask for, I think I found mine on the Hobbes site or was it from the author 'Mike Bilow @ 1:323/107' This is a OS/2 program. It uses TimeOuts, Semaphore Name Pipes, Initial waits, and Priority settings. ===Cut from Doc file=== The program or batch file to be run by MUTEX may be anything which can be run from the OS/2 command prompt, which varies with the version of OS/2.

Tuesday December 16 1997, Eddy Matthews babbled to Greg Cobb: -> I don't use CBV Greg, so I cannot comment on why it won't work for you. All -> I can say is that Concord automatically creates ExitInfo.Dat and -> ExitInfo.BBS when calling an external program, unless you use the *D3- or -> *E- command line switches to tell Concord NOT to create those files. Are -> you sure you've told CBV to look in the correct directory? I thought it created one. AFAIK everything pointed to the right place. At this point, I don't guess I absulotely have to use one, I had just done it previously. -> By default Concord uses 'S' to stop a display (thats 'S', NOT 'Ctrl-S'). -> You can alter that to any key you want in CSetup.Exe.... Goto Setup > -> General > Other settings > Ansi stop ch. There you can change the default -> value. Okay, sorry....I didn't make myself clear enough. I need to know what control character to put in the ansi file at the bottom so the user can see what just went across without scrolling back. I need the screen to stop instead of just whizzing past it. -> Happy Christmas, and all the best for the coming year.... Yeah, you too. :) * Origin: Picture This....Just doing mail!

Have tried the PM Version of LoraBBS, but I didn't like it, first of all, it was too buggy, IMO, secondly it didn't include support for my favorit editor GoldED.

I've decided to play around with Synchronet, and I like how configurable it is. Anyways, when I don't have a front end mailer on, the BBS works perfectly. However, when the BBS is running under a front-end, after a user returns from a door, carrier is lost. I have tried using both Xenia and Binkley with the same problem, if anyone could offer any assistance, it would be greatly appreciated. l8r --- Maximus/2 2.02 * Origin: OS/2 Shareware BBS, telnet://bbs.os2bbs.com (1:109/347) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 251 OS2 BBS Ref: EGR00000 Date: 12/21/97 From: ELWYN GOLDSBURY Time: 02:39pm \/To: ALAN BAKER (Read 0 times) Subj: PPP server + BBS EG> or select a character string in the intial ppp handshake >>Thanks, Elwyn. Please expand on your last sentence. Are you saying that the >>caller's dialer needs to specify the character string that causes Binkley o >>invoke PPP.EXE rather than the default (Max)? Yes . MAx is ussually invoked thru a time out of recieving nothing or from requesting the caller to use the "Esc" key i which case Binkley does an exit on the Esc key and calls Max. thus with a ppp call we dont want it to time out or take notice of an esc key so either the diler has to set up to send a specific agreed character or binkley needs to recognise the initial ppp handshake and load it's ppp . ppp then retrys and connects. for testing I used ppp.exe (os2) and set up the modem command string to send & as a response to the "connect" message. thus the BBS binkley recieves an & and loads its ppp.exe if you use a character string from the ppp handshake then no special setup is needed by the caller . >>How about port sharing? port sharing is not a problem in OS2 but this should be no different than he handover between binkley and max anyway Elwyn Goldsbury elwyn@ibm.net --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: GenBOARD/2 (Wellington, New Zealand) 64-4-479-1960 (3:771/160) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 251 OS2 BBS Ref: EGR00001 Date: 12/21/97 From: ALAN BAKER Time: 09:38pm \/To: ELWYN GOLDSBURY (Read 0 times) Subj: PPP server + BBS EG> as a response to the "connect" message. thus the EG> BBS binkley recieves an & and loads its ppp.exe EG> if you use a character string from the ppp EG> handshake then no special setup is needed by the EG> caller .
