   : as a request from many people on the mystic bbs mailing list, i've  |
   | decided to write a com/ip setup with mystic bbs.  this setup was    :
   | fully tested by me, and i even had a few callers telnet into my     :
   | cheesy default board :)                                             :

   | 1. go and download com/ip v1.26 or v2.02 or whatever.  if you don't | 
   : want that annoying as hell eecchoo bug then download the v1.xx      i
   : versions.  else go with v2.02. you can get it from pcmicro.com/bbs  i
   : or some various telnet boards.  to get the latest version, goto     i
   : www.tactical-sw.com and leech it there.  if you want to run fossil  i
   i software get winfossil (pcmicro.com/bbs) or else get turbocom95lite i
   i (pcmicro.com/bbs also) if you want virtual uart ports for crap like i
   i wwiv :)                                                             i
   i                                                                     i
   i 2. make sure your haven't already used a temporary shareware        i
   i license.  if you already ran out, then load up regedit.             i
   i goto hkey_local_machine/software.  then delete the tactical sw key. i
   |                                                                     :
   | 3. install com/ip.  when it asks to install a port, do as follows.  :
   | the instructions given are quite understanable, so read the given   :
   | instructions!!!  you DO NOT NEED a virtual modem!!!                 :
   i                                                                     i
   i 4. reboot, and after that install winfossil or turbocom/95          i
   i depending on which one you want to use.  follow those instructions  i
   i given for installation, and everything will go smoothly.            i
   | in turbocom/95, you don't need to check any ports to use their      :
   | drivers.                                                            :
   |                                                                     :
   | 5. if you are using winfossil, then select your comport number you  :
   | installed the com/ip port on. (it is 1 less than the port in the    :
   | pulldown list).  click ENABLE FOSSIL.                               :
   :                                                                     |
   : 6. if you are using turbocom/95, right click on the turbocom icon   |
   : in the system tray.  click on the com/ip port you want to enable.   |
   : then right click on the window that pops up.  click on virtual port |
   : setup.  click on define 'virtual port'.  select the com port you    |
   : want to alias it to, and reboot.  make sure you write the settings  |
   : down for the port to enable your bbs software!  the io address you  |
   i need will the the FIRST one listed in the io address range.         i
   i                                                                     i
   i 7. to enable fossil for turbocom/95 (for doors or just forthellofit)i
   i run a fossil program that needs to know the IRQ and IO address of   i
   i the port.         irq -\   /-- baud     /- tx buf                   i
   i (ex: ADF.EXE COM5 100  3  38400  4096  4096  8                      i
   i         port ^^    ^^ io addr    ^ rx buf    ^ fifo                 i
   i                                                                     i
   i 8. now load up mystic bbs.  lets assume you want to setup node 1.   i
   i run 'mystic -n1 -l' in your mystic bbs directory.  go into the      i
   i system config -> node editor.  set the com port to the com/ip port  i
   : (or, if you're using turbocom, the turbocom aliased port).  set the |
   : baud rate to 38400, and set 'telnet node' to yes!                   |
   : setup a good init string:                                           |
   :    AT S1002=1 S1003=7 S1005=0 S1008=23 &D2                          |
   : i have a better one, but it's longer (i've asked gooroo to make the |
   : init string field longer)                                           |
   :    AT S1001=1 S1002=1 S1003=7 S1005=0 S1008=23 S1006=4              |
   :                                                                     |
   : 9. load up mystic bbs!  run the default 'runbbs.bat -n1' for node 1 |
   i and it should init the modem (it did for me!)                       _l
   i                                                                     i
   | this is much more difficult than netmodem/32, but it may be well    :
   | worth it, as it is not as crash prone, and maybe more efficient.    :
