Thread: Installing BGFAX into ProBoard  (1/2)
  Date: 18-Jul-97, 3:37am  (Ref# 5539)

Is there anyone who could help in installing BGFAX into ProBoard Ver 2.16?

I DON'T WANT to use the SHELL TO MAILER MODE!
and I have a USR Modem v.EVERYTHING

I thought that since PB and RemoteAccess are so closely related I could
use the docs from that but it uses the Shell To Mailer Mode (which I don't
want)

So I peeked into the FD-USR.TXT file and used that for the INIT strings

I was wondering if there is anything else I would need to set it up.

Unless the Shell-to-Mailer is new in ProBoard 2.16, it ain't there.  I run
2.15, and there ain't no such menu choice that I can find.

Good idea.

Assuming FrontDoor (from your tagline):

1)  Go to FrontDoor Configuration.

2) Under Modem => Connect Messages, be sure that the Fax response is set for
what your modem issues as a connect string.  This will let FrontDoor recognize
a fax call when itcomes in.

3) Under Mailer => Errorlevels, set up a unique errorlevel for fax calls.

4) In your batch file, trap the errorlevel from 3, above.  Use it to GOTO a
section to unlock your fossil, handle the incoming fax, and then GOTO the start
of the mailer action.

Works for me (or it did when I set it up...I only receive about two faxes a
year).
