Renegade is being updated on a regular basis. Therefore the string may need to be changed with future updates. Renegade bbs software is only available as a beta release. Versions are identified as of the month of the update. The most current version is version 1.00/5-20. This update is dated 5-20-94. The Renegade manual shows a string for the SUPRA modem, however this did not work for me. I suggest you try that one first, then move on to mine. I do not run any "Front Door" programs, just straight through the fossil driver to Renegade. Lock your fossil driver in at 38,400. (This is suggested becouse many online bbs programs and some bbs software does not support higher then 38,400.) Put the "Waiting For Caller" screen up. Use option S (System Setup). Option "B" should say "Modem/Node Configuration". You will be presented with the following screen. Simply go through the options and insert the information I have listed. Be sure to change any path names to those you use... Please remember this is for version 7-17. 1. Maximum baud rate :38400 2. COM port number :1 3. Modem init string :AT&F2V0&D2X4S0=2H0E0W2L1| See update note below for Renegade version 5-9 and 5-20. 4. Modem answer string :ATA| 5. Modem hangup string :~~~+++~~~ATH0| 6. Modem offhook string :ATM0H1| 7. Inactivity init time :360 8. COM port locking :On 9. Locked baud rate :38400 baud A. CTS/RTS flow control :On B. XON/XOFF flow control :Off C. ACS for this node : D. Path for doors files :C:\BBS\ E. TeleConf Normal : F. TeleConf Anon : G. TeleConf Global : H. TeleConf Private : R. Modem result codes. Enter selection or (Q)uit : NOTE: Be sure to add the | at the end of the commands. This is seen bt Renegade as a carriage return. You must now select the above option "R" (modem result codes). The follwoing menu will appear. Everything after the colon must be added by you. NOTE: See update below for Renegade version 5-9 or 5-20. Modem configuration - Result Codes Normal Alternate A. No Carrier : 3 B. CONNECT 300 : 1 1 C. CONNECT 1200 : 5 15 D. CONNECT 2400 : 10 47 E. CONNECT 4800 : 11 11 F. CONNECT 7200 : 13 13 G. CONNECT 9600 : 12 50 H. CONNECT 12000 : 14 51 I. CONNECT 14400 : 15 52 J. CONNECT 16800 : 52 K. CONNECT 19200 : 16 Enter selection or (Q)uit : My modems active configuration before the bbs sends the above init. string is as follows: ACTIVE PROFILE: B1 E1 L2 M1 N1 Q0 T V1 W0 X4 Y0 %C0 %E0 %G1 \N3 &C1 &D2 &K3 &Q5 &R0 &S0 &X0 S00:000 S02:043 S06:002 S07:050 S08:002 S09:006 S10:014 S11:045 S12:050 S18:000 S23:061 S25:003 S26:001 S36:007 S37:000 S38:010 S40:087 S46:138 S48:007 S95:000 This is important becouse these are the settings the modem takes before issueing the rest of the initialization line above. &F2 recalls this profile. Also note that the init. string in the above command contains many commands that can be stroed into the modems memory by using the &W command. However, since many of these commands are different from those needed to use a normal communications package, I elected to not store them. That should do it. I suggest that you turn your modem off and on before starting the bbs up with the new string. Good luck and hope this helped...

Also, I am using a serial card with 16550A UART chips. These high speed buffered chips allow quicker locked baud rates on slower computers such as locking ports at 38,400 on a 286. This would work without the 16550A but you would have some transmit/Receive errors becouse of data over flow. It is therefore recommended that if you plan to run ANY high speed modem with locked ports (all computers using high speed modems with data compression should operate under locked comm ports) that your serial cards have a 16550A UART. If you need help in setting up your SUPRA with a Front End system such as Front Door, please feel free to call me at The Insomniac and I will be happy to try and help ya... ===========================UPDATE AS OF 6-11-94=============================== As you may have noticed above, Renegade was updated last on 5-20-94. This version made one MAJOR change that you MUST deal with before running it from any older version. YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR MODEM INItialization string. Up until this version, Renegade used numeric result codes instead of verbose. (This can be seen in the above chart "Modem Configurations and Result codes". It now uses VERBOSE result codes. You will have to change the command in the init. string from V0 to V1. You wil have to redo the entire string if you are upgrading from any other version of RG becouse it will be destroyed (or rather scrambled) by the update. So be sure to do a print screen on your old setup before updating. Here is what the new screen looks like (ver. 5-9 or 5-20). Modem Configuration - Result Codes A. NO CARRIER : NO CARRIER B. RELIABLE : RELIABLE C. OK : OK D. RING : RING E. CALLER ID : F. ID in user note: off G. CONNECT 300 : CONNECT 300 H. CONNECT 600 : CONNECT 600 I. CONNECT 1200 : CONNECT 1200 J. CONNECT 2400 : CONNECT 2400 K. CONNECT 4800 : CONNECT 4800 L. CONNECT 7200 : CONNECT 7200 M. CONNECT 9600 : CONNECT 9600 N. CONNECT 12000 : CONNECT 12000 O. CONNECT 14400 : CONNECT 14400 P. CONNECT 16800 : CONNECT 16800 Q. CONNECT 19200 : CONNECT 19200 R. CONNECT 21600 : CONNECT 21600 S. CONNECT 24000 : CONNECT 24000 T. CONNECT 26600 : CONNECT 26600 U. CONNECT 28800 : CONNECT 28800 V. CONNECT 38400 : CONNECT 38400 W. CONNECT 57600 : CONNECT 57600 X. CONNECT 115200 : CONNECT 115200 Everything after the colon must be added by you. For the use of option E and F above, see the new Renegade documentation. A second updated feature is the ability to set how many rings Renegade will allow before picking up the phone. Previously it would pick up on 1 ring ONLY! In the modem string above, I use "Auto Answer" in the modem to pick up the phone after 2 rings to give caller ID info a chance to come in. Since Renegade has added this new feature, you can now set Renegade to answer the phone and remove the S0=2 command or change it to S0=0 in the above modem init. string. You can also remove the V0 command since V1 is the default modem setup. Here is what the string should look like now... AT&F2&D2X4H0W2L1| Another change to Renegade was the addition of the ^ symbol in any modem string will cause a DTR DROP (hangs up most modems). This should be added to the HANGUP string if you are having problems with the mode hanging up after a user logs off... I am now running FRONT DOOR on my system. Front Door is a Front End mail system. Since this program is responsible for answering the phone rather then Renegade, you may need to adjust the strings. Please be sure to leave me mail if you need help withh setting up FRONT DOOR with Renegade. I will be more then happy to try and assist. You can reach me at any of the above numbers or addresses. I use X00 as my fossil. Here is a MOST simple batch file to load and run Renegade. This batch does not contain any error code snatching, this must be added by you. Renegade version 5-9 or 5-20 now exits the WFC screen using the Q command with a 255 error code. This is the same code that it sends if messages were left for mail. (Just thought I would mention this!) You will also need a file called XU. It is usually included with X00. X00 2 E R=512 T=512 XU FIFO:16 SET:0:38400 LOCK:0:38400 RENEGADE X00 Ok, heres what happens. X00 loads x00 and 2 means support 2 comm ports. If you only have one, put a 1 here. E means do not show x00's advertisement screen. R and T are Receive and Transmit buffering. This can be set to whatever you want. XU FIFO sets your FIFO chips buffering to 16 (maximum). If you don't have 16550uarts don't use this command. SET and LOCK to exactly what they say. They set and lock com-port 1 at 38400. X00 sees comm 1 as 0, 2 as 1, 3 as 2, 4 as 3.
