                           HOT NEWS

               Nothing of interest this week in the line of Hot
       News, in between holidays and all that stuff. Fido 1 is
       still down; newsletters are being mailed out from the secret
       Fido 99 location, so they should get out a little faster
       this week. (99 is on a private voice line, on my development
       machine which I use during the day, so it's not a public
       available number.)

               Articles are slowly coming in; keep mailing them!
       You can send articles to either Fido 1, 51 or 27, and they
       will make their way to me. If received late (after Sunday)
       then I may not get them in until the next week, but no
       problem.

               The FidoNet Users Group needs a new name. (The
       acronym, FUG, isn't too pleasant!) Any ideas? One idea is to
       choose a four word name, so that FIDO is an acronym, and
       that Fido is the first word in it, so that it's an
       infinitely recursive acronym, ie. "Fido Ixxx Dxxx Oxxx".
       Just an idea ... more (better?) ideas are welcome!

               Anyone want to write a regular (or sporadic) column?
       Pick your subject.

       Dallas, Texas (FNM) - A Dallas-area Fido sysop has taken Tom
       Tcmpidis' dilemma to heart.  After reading a FidoNews
       article describing the continuing plight of Mr. Tcmpidis,
       the realization that "open" bulletin board systems can be an
       invitation to would-be software pirates and other
       traffickers in illegal information led him to implement a
       security system to ensure that callers to this particular
       board were not "perfect strangers."

        The means of "getting to know your callers" already exists
       within the current release of the Fido software, with the
       ability of Fido to screen callers who do not yet have a
       valid password, and to request information from new callers
       prior to the granting of full access to the features of the
       board.  This is described in "Fido's Operating Manual,"
       release 10, as the Private Message System.

       Most Fido sysops are aware that the capability for
       generating a "private" system exist, by simply adding the
       "/M" flag to the command line that starts the Fido software.
       However, some may not have experimented with this, and it is
       the purpose of this article to describe such a system.

       If the "/M" parameter is specified on the command line, Fido
       will not allow callers without an already-existing password
       to reach the Main Menu.  Instead, if a Questionnaire file,
       named QNOPWD.BBS, exists in the BBS directory, Fido will
       begin processing this questionnaire file, prompting the new







fidonews     --           31 Dec 84  18:21:10           Page 3

       caller to respond to the questions therein.

       Once the new user has responded to all the questions, Fido
       saves the responses in an "answer" file, known to the
       operating system as ANOPWD.BBS.  This sequential file keeps
       all responses from all new callers, allowing the system
       operator to review them, and add new callers to the USER
       file as desired.

       A sample of this kind of "new-user application" follows.

       A little tidbit about modems.....
       By: Jim Ryan, Fido #9

               If you are using one of the  "industry-standard"
       modems (one of the ones  that  uses  "Hayes"  protocol),
       here is a little tidbit of information that may help you
       avoid a system "crash".

               It is possible,  on occassion,  for a "gweep" to
       gain control of your modem by  entering three plus signs
       on a command line.  Although the  "gweep" usually cannot
       do more than stall your system for a  short time,  it is
       possible with certain modems to  disable  the system for
       hours.

               A neat little trick  is to  add the command line
       "ATS2=255" to your  FIDOMDM.BBS file.  This disables the
       modem break character, thereby preventing the problem.

               If anyone else has any good modem "tips", please
       leave me a note on one of the Connecticut Fido's  (until
       Fido #9 has a more permanent home).

       ---------------------

       FIDO Suggestions
       ================
         Might I suggest that a section be added to the
       Fido_Newsletter  to collect modification suggestions from
       Fido Users?  To start  the list rolling, here are a few of
       my favorite requests:

       1.   Allow a user to Read Forward New.  When a user logs
       off, FIDO would save the highest message number retrieved in
       each System Area the user visited (limit of 10 areas).  At
       the users next call, issuing a Read Forward New command
       (perhaps a R= as opposed to the R* most of us use), would
       cause FIDO to determine the highest message number read by
       the user in this system area on their last connection and
       read forward from that point.

       [tj
               I'm now trying to figure out where to get the space
       to do this. It would have to work like this: since there are
       possibly up to 99 areas, all variable and changeable, Fido
       will keep track of say the last 8 used. This requires two
       bytes per msg area; the problem is that there is not 16
       bytes available in the users record; it may mean a hack
       program to convert the users record to a new format.

               Also, if you RENUM an area, all the numbers are
       wrong; this means that RENUM will have to be made to go
       through and translate all the msg numbers in the users
       record ]

       2.   File Dates.  When a file was uploaded, the FILES.BBS
       file could also include the date of upload.  It would then
       be possible to tell if any new files were uploaded since
       your last call via a FN (Files New) command.

       [tj
               To be meaningful, the date has to be at least
       consistent, preferably the creation date, or at possibly the
       upload date. However, file dates are partially meaningless;
       the problem is that when uploaded via XMODEM (etc) the file
       is given the upload date, ie. created anew; TELINK, and
       direct disk copy, preserve the original date. Therefore, it







fidonews     --           31 Dec 84  18:21:27           Page 6

       is likely that you may have a later version of a program
       with an OLDER date on it. A meaningless date is worse than
       no date at all. For this reason, I skipped the date
       entirely. If anyone has a solution to this let me know!) ]

       3.   LIFO Users List.  When requesting a display of the FIDO
       Users, the list could be presented in chronological order
       (most recent caller first).  For remote SYSOPs, it would be
       helpful to determine if the users uploaded/downloaded any
       files.  Although similar to the SYSOP.LOG file, this would
       contain abbreviated data and would be in LIFO sequence.

       [tj
               It is extremely difficult to write to a file
       "backwards", using a free form, not a preallocated file. The
       U command really should list them backwards, though, thats
       much easier. Ill see if I cant do that much.]

       4.   Ability to request a Net_Download.  A special message
       format (SYSOP privilege probably required) would allow
       dialing into another FIDO node and requesting download of
       particular software from a specified directory.  Thus the
       phone charges for file transmissions would be born by the
       requester. (Possible use includes retrieval of this FIDO
       Newsletter!).

       [tj
               ... also called "pick Up Mail", in Usenet called
       "Polling", ie. you can call in and see if there is mail or
       files. Real Soon Now ... realistically, 3 months ... ]

       5.   Attached File Validation.  When specifying that a file
       should be attached to an outgoing networked message, FIDO
       does not validate that the specified file exists.  It would
       be very comforting to have this validation performed when
       the file path was specified to eliminate the possibility of
       typographical errors causing unwanted suprises on next
       months phone bill!

       [tj
               Yes, but it is a two edged sword ... it is sometimes
       very useful to have it not check; ie. I send this newsletter
       out with preentered messages, before the file is copied in,
       so that hopefully by mail time the fiel is there and is sent
       out right. This is a classic "damned if I do, damned if I
       dont".

               Eventualyl, Fido will let users attach files, whats
       missing is the verification, and security and accounting.
       For sysops, it will work as it does now. For regular users,
       you will have to enter the filename(s) as:
       "12:FILENAME.EXT", where "12" is the file area number. This
       is a ways off, though. ]

       If you would like to add to this list, agree with one of
       these  suggestions, or disagree with them, feel free to send
       a FIDO_NET  message me.

       FIDO_FILES
       ==========
        On a related topic, several of us are thinking about
       developing a squeezed data file that could contain the
       names, sizes, dates, descriptions, and machine dependencies
       of user-contributed software residing in the public download
       sections of FIDO BBS's.  Our initial thoughts are to select
       one FIDO as the coordinating center (this might be on either
       Node 85 or Node 61 unless someone else really wants to
       volunteer). The database would be maintained in PC-FILE III,
       Version 2. The three files (.IDX, .HDR, and .DAT) would be
       loaded into a library file with LU.EXE and then squeezed
       with SQ2.EXE for efficient distribution. Thus FIDO users
       looking for particular public domain software would know
       where to call.


       FIDO_BOARD_DESCRIPTIONS
       =======================
         Along the same lines, a PC-FILE database could be created
       and centrally maintained that would list selected FIDO
       users, their nodes, interests, and areas of expertise. Say,
       for example, you need to contact someone experienced with
       writing assembler code inside of a TURBO Pascal application.
       By referring to this database one could identify various
       people that have this knowledge and would be willing to help
       you out. If anyone has any comments on this idea, feel free
       to send a net_message to me.


       FINAL_THOUGHTS
       ==============
         Six months ago, I was convinced that the RBBS-PC software
       was the best BBS available for any machine. However, after
       being exposed to FIDO my opinion has really changed! The
       ability to use networked messages, separate message and file
       areas, and the scheduling capability of FIDO set it head and
       shoulders above the others! All of us owe a real debt of
       thanks to Tom Jennings who conceived, implemented, and
       continues to develop FIDO.

        Miscelaneous Pieces of Information
       By: Jim Ryan, Fido #9

       Well, once again I have had the opportunity to test Fido
       with a few new modems.  Here are my results--  hope they
       are of some use to somebody..... somewhere.....

       --------------------------------------------------------

       General DataComm Personal Computer Modem 300/1200

       Modem Type : 1/J
       Bit Flag   : 128/V
       Switches   : None







fidonews     --           31 Dec 84  18:21:41           Page 9


               The General DataComm 300/1200 Modems do not have
       dipswitches, but instead have a software dipswitch (like
       the Rixon  R212A and the Prentice  POPCOM).  In order to
       set the software  dipswitch,  you must have this in your
       FIDOMDM.BBS :

       ATS17=1Z

       --------------------------------------------------------

       Racal-Vadic Maxwell Modem

       Modem Flag : 1/J
       Bit Flag   : 3/J
       Switches   : None

               In general, you shouldn't use the  Maxwell modem
       in Hayes mode-- the response time is terrible!!!! Use it
       in it's native Vadic mode, you'll both be much happier.
