Netmodem is software that allows your bbs to perform Telnet functions. *Note: this information deals with the beta versions of Netmodem, but the same setup should apply to the registered version. Make sure you are using the NEWEST version of Netmodem/32 (currently v1 beta 4). Step 1 : Installing Netmodem/32 - Unzip the file into an empty directory (eg: c:\netmodem) - put the following in your AUTOEXEC.BAT: SET NETMODEM=C:\NETMODEM (or whichever dir you unzipped it to) - Reboot. - Run Netmodem/32, click on CONFIG at the bottom of the window. - Click on the COMPORTS tab and select a com port that isn't already used in your system (5 is a good choice). Set the BAUDRATE to 115200. - Add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT: C:\NETMODEM\NU.EXE 1 /L - Reboot again and Netmodem/32 is installed! Step 2 : Setting up Telegard to use Netmodem/32 - Start up Telegard in local mode. - If you want Netmodem as a new node: - Press T and then go to NODE MANAGER. - Press I to insert a new node. - MODIFY the new node, and set ACTIVE to YES. - Press M to go to the modem profile for this node. - Set MODEM DESCRIPTION to TELNET CONNECTION - Set COMMUNICATION PORT to the same com port you selected in Netmodem. - INIT COMMAND should be set to ATZ^M. - That's it, move on to the next section. - If you want to setup Netmodem on an already configured node. - Press S and go to MODEM PROFILE. - Select the node you wish Netmodem to use. - Set MODEM DESCRIPTION to TELNET CONNECTION. - Set COMMUNICATION PORT to the same com port you selected in Netmodem. - INIT COMMAND should be set to ATZ^M. - That's it, move on to the next section. Step 3 : Getting them to work together. - To make it easier to get it all running, you should write a batch file like the following: C:\NETMODEM\NETMODEM.EXE CD\TG TELEGARD.EXE /N2 This will start Netmodem, and then start telegard (note that the number after the /N is whatever node you've got Netmodem running on). Step 4 : Testing the Setup To test your setup, do the following: - Run the batch file we just created, Netmodem and Telegard should load. - Go to START in Windows, and select RUN... - type TELNET 127.0.0.1 in the RUN... dialog box. - Telnet should start up and you should see the opening screen to your BBS (in black and white mind you). - If you don't get a connection, make sure that both programs are set to use the same comport.
