      21 Oct 15 18:36, you wrote to me:               ml>> 1. RA has no way to determine if the connection is POTS or TELNET...               MA> Ever will be TELNET in my case.              then you might be able to fake the first line in the door32.sys file but the       second line cannot be done... read below...               ml>> 2. RA has no way of knowing the socket handle number of a telnet        ml>> connection...               ml>> the first two lines of door32.sys need the above in formation and        ml>> there's just no way for RA to get that information...               MA> I make manually the fist two line because are static data (ever telnet)              you cannot make the second line... the socket handle changes every time       there's a new connection... the socket handle is not the same as the port...       there's a new socket handle created for each connection no matter what port       the connection is on... i don't have any active connections at the moment that       i can show you what i'm talking about...               ml>> aside from the above, i don't know of any way of running DOOR32.SYS        ml>> doors from a RA system...              it may be possible that your virtual modem software might be able to pass the       socket handle some how but i don't know where it could be stored other than       maybe an environment variable... the socket handle would have to be grabbed       and stored by your .bat file between the mailer and the bbs... if you're not       running a mailer in front of RA, i don't know how you would be able to grab       the socket handle to save for use later...              )\/(ark              ... Yeah, I got a modem, a real fast one too, it's a 300bps!       ---        * Origin: (1:3634/12.73)    |
