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. fidonews -- 31 Dec 84 18:21:03 Page 2 NEWS ARTICLE SUBMISSION The format of FidoNews is totally ad hoc; please make recomendations as to formats, sections needed, liked, or hated, columns you'd like to see, or see removed, anything at all. If you want to submit something regularly, we can start a column for you. You are ENCOURAGED to send things in for the newsletter. ANYTHING is fit for the newsletter, such as a description of your board, problems found, questions, jokes, fixes, horror stories about wrong FidoNet numbers, things for sale, etc etc etc. SUBMITTING AN ARTICLE An article should have your name, node number (if applicable), followed by the text. Text can be any ASCII derivative; WordStar, soft paragraphs, 8th bit set, etc are all OK. Articles can be uploaded at either Fido #1, #27 or #51, or by sending it by FidoNet. Make sure the file name is unique, especially if you send it by FidoNet, so you dont overwrite another article. 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. ************************************************** Thanks for calling DalTex FIDOnet!

Tom Tcmpidis would have loved it. 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. fidonews -- 31 Dec 84 18:21:21 Page 5 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). Jim Ryan sysop : Fido #9 [I have responded to these, after each, in [brackets] tj] Fido_Net Article By: Alfred Anderson FIDO Node #61 --------------------- 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. fidonews -- 31 Dec 84 18:21:35 Page 8 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. Alfred Anderson, FIDO #61, Rochester Mn.
