LG> * Kent Timm gave this bit of info to All:   
      
    -> I just finished making a little program for RA the runs in the batach   
    -> file just before RA loads, it writes to the BBS log the node number,   
    -> and the IP and Host name of the caller as passed by command line   
    -> to the batch file from NetFoss (or whatever your runs as a front   
    -> end)   
      
    LG> Hello, I'd be interested in having some way of seeing IP and host   
    LG> name in my RAnode.log The only things running here is RemoteAccess   
    LG> and netserial.   
      
   netserial is like the vmodem virtual modem tool used over here...  vmodem   
   reports the remote IP in the connect message that is fed to the bbs...   
      
   eg: CONNECT 57600/ARQ/TEL FROM 93.217.33.52   
      
   if netserial has this capability, you should enable it if it is an option...   
   since i don't run RA barefoot over here, i can't really test and see how RA   
   would handle it...   
      
   FD processes the connect string and replaces those spaces between TEL and FROM   
   and the IP with underscore '_' characters... if the connection is on a POTS   
   line and one has caller-id turned on, the next part of the above would be the   
   caller-id stuff with its linebreaks changed into equal '=' signs... this make   
   is easier to pass on to the exebbs.bat file where later parsing of the data   
   may take place...   
      
    LG> I have not had any luck getting some of my older door games    
    LG> working with netfoss. If your little program just work with    
    LG> netfoss maybe someone can point me in the right direction on   
    LG> how to get user IP/host into my log also.   
      
   it is gonna have to be in your virtual modem or fossil software... AIUI,   
   there's nothing else between the caller and the bbs that has access to that   
   information...
