-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Setup hints for using BGFAX with Renegade 5-31-94 and higher 08-12-95 B.J. Guillot, with help from Terminal Psycosis BBS (713-240-7059) FidoNet 1:106/400 bgfax@blkbox.com http://www.blkbox.com/~bgfax/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- BGFAX was tested with the Renegade 5-31-94 overlay. I am assuming higher versions of Renegade work okay. 1. From now on, to get your system ready to answer calls, start up your BBS by using the FBBS.BAT file included with BGFAX. 2. Be sure all the BGFAX files are copied into the directory as specified by the BGFAX environment variable (A "SET BGFAX=C:\BGFAX" line must exist in either your AUTOEXEC.BAT or FBBS.BAT file). 3. Make sure your BGFAX.CNF file is configured to use the proper fax class that your modem supports (you may need to comment and uncomment some lines in the BGFAX.CNF file). You need to make a file called EXEBBS.BAT in the BGFAX directory. EXEBBS.BAT ~~~~~~~~~~ @echo off cd\renegade renegade -B%1 -Q %bgfax%\fbbs.bat The most frequent problem people have with this setup... Once people get every thing configured, a data call comes into BGFAX, it transfers control to Renegade, but the user that called in sees only garbage characters on their screen. The problem is that you have BGFAX's DTE speed set to a speed different than that of what Renegade is using. The port speeds in BGFAX and Renegade **MUST BE LOCKED AT THE SAME SPEED** (BGFAX.CNF defaults to sp=57600, while Renegade may default to a locked speed of 38400. You must change the speed in either BGFAX or Renegade so that they are the same!)
