Using FrontDoor v2.02 and TosScan v1.00 (MSG version) with Synchronet v1b
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Included with this doc file should be the following:

MAILER.BAT	Main batch file for running FrontDoor/TosScan/Synchronet
EXEBBS.BAT	Batch file necessary for FrontDoor's "Create BAT file" option

You should also have already obtained the following files:

SBBSFIDO.EXE	SBBS/FidoNet import/export utility in EXEC directory
SBBSFIDO.DOC	Documentation for SBBSFIDO utility in DOCS directory

Settup up Synchronet v1b+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Run SCFG from one of your node directories, or hit 'C' from the waiting for
caller screen. Then select "FidoNet EchoMail and NetMail" from the "Networks"
menu. Set your address to your system's FidoNet address. This is the address
used for sending and receiving NetMail. It will also be used as the default
address for message sub-boards. Create an origin line for your system that
most likely contains your BBS name and phone number. The following is a list
of examples for the other FidoNet configuration options:

C:\FD\FDEXIT.025			FidoNet Semaphore File
C:\FD\ECHO\				Default EchoMail Base Directory
C:\FD\MAIL\				NetMail Directory
Yes					Allow NetMail to be Sent
No					Use Alias in NetMail
No					NetMail defaults to Crash
No					NetMail defaults to Hold
Yes					NetMail defaults to Kill after Sent
102400					NetMail Cost in Credits

Create your EchoMail conferences, probably in a separate group for FidoNet.
For each echo conference, set "FidoNet EchoMail" under each "Network Options"
to Yes. If a conference requires a different address, configure that address
under "Network Options" as well. If real names are required and you allow
aliases on your system, set "Use Real Names" under "Toggle Options" to Yes.
If you need to use a separate origin line for different conferences, you can
configure a different origin line for each sub-board under "Network Options".


Setting up FrontDoor v2.02
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Install FrontDoor per FD.DOC (included with FrontDoor).

Copy MAILER.BAT and EXEBBS.BAT into the FrontDoor directory.

In FDSETUP, under Mailer/Errorlevels, you should configure as follows:

300			100
1200			101
1275			102
2400			103
4800			104
7200			105
9600			106
12000			107
14400			108
19200			109
38400			110
Received mail		50
Create BAT.file 	Yes

In FDSETUP, under Manager/Events, make sure all your events are set to exit
when mail is received (under Event Behavior). This allows for the immediate
importation of new messages into the BBS.

Obtain a recent nodelist (NODELIST.A??) and unarc it into your nodelist
directory. Edit your FDNODE.CTL file and add:

DIAL 1-AAA-
END

to the end of it. "AAA" is your area code. This keeps FrontDoor from dialing
the 1 and the area code for numbers that are in your area code.

Now run FDNC to compile the nodelist.


Setting up TosScan v1.00 (MSG version)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Copy your SETUP.FD file in your FrontDoor directory to FD.SYS. You'll need to
do this everytime you modify your configuration with FDSETUP, since the name
of the FrontDoor setup file changed from FD.SYS (v2.00) to SETUP.FD and
TosScan v1.00 still looks for the file with the old name (FD.SYS).

Install TosScan into your FrontDoor directory.

Add your message areas (AKA conferences or sub-boards) to the area list and be
sure to specify the correct storage directory for the messages. If your
sub-boards have specific EchoMail storage directories, you'll need to use that
directory here. If you don't have an EchoMail storage directory specified for
a sub-board, a sub-directory off of the EchoMail base directory is used with
the sub-boards internal code as the name of the sub-directory. If for example,
you don't have an EchoMail directory specified for a sub-board and that
sub-board's code is FIDO_ASM, and your base EchoMail directory is C:\FD\ECHO,
the correct storage path for the message area would be C:\FD\ECHO\FIDO_ASM.

You'll also need to make sure you have at least one system listed on the export
list for each of your message areas.
