is there anyway to force a QWK network call out from a baja module? I could always call the batch file, but if that changes I'd have to remember to upda this baja module as well.

Either code the vert call-out directly into your module (tricky) or just cre a .SEMaphore file to suot.

Yeah, just create the file: data/qnet/vert.now and that'll force the call-ou event to run.^^^^^^^^^^^

I've never seen you use this sig. Testing the auto-sig feature?

Yeah.. I used to use it years ago. <shrug>
Oh gees, in that case... I should get familar with my old Prodigy (also known as *P methinks) signiture.
-ROCKO-
Oh man that felt funny.
I thought it was P*, not *P? Maybe my memory is just failing... Those
were fun times though, back in the day when Prodigy was #1 and it cost
25 cents per message to send email (local prodigy email mind you... internet mail was like $3/msg!)
check your credit card info until a month after you signed up, when
they went to bill you...:) ---
I can't remember, but one thing I do remember:
FWJN19C -- my old Prodigy ID.
Yeah, then it went CORE and PLUS. Around that time, I began to hear of these mystical creatures called "bulletin board systems." Didn't find one local to my area until my AwOL days. Quickly dropped AwOL after that.

Ah kind of like using AwOL promotional CDs to death? ;)
BTW what areas did you peruse on Prodigy? I used to be in the Game Cent in the video games section for NES and SNES. I wandered over into the computer gaming section occasionally. I found the people there were much mo mature (and this was when I was 10).
LOL... mine was EXHR08E
Grin, I called a dial-up BBS for the first time a few months after I started using Prodigy. It was a one-line WWIV board (using a version
of WWIV that was outdated even then, no less) called The Palace.
Actually, it was the original (And only) support bbs for PimpWars,
which was created by someone who lived about 20 minutes away from me.
At first, I didn't get the BBS thing at all and hated it. Then I got addicted to TradeWars, and everything went horribly awry from there :)
Sort of, just with even poorer user tracking... you could keep doing it month after month and they'd never have any idea...
Hmm, hard to remember. My favorites were on the Comedy boards. There were these goofy semi-role-playing type clubs on there that were a lot
of fun when I was 12...:)
Our local scene wasn't that interesting. All of them were single node systems, and Renegade was the BBS everbody ran. The first BBS I found was a Wildcat! system, but I didn't stay there long. I don't know if the SysOp wa even involved in that system much.

I played LORD for awhile, then got involved in Fidonet, mostly programming subs. VGA Planets came later..

Everybody always remembers jamming that into the computer...
There were about 300+ boards in my general area (philadelphia + northern suburbs), and I'd say 90% of them ran either WWIV or WildCat. I never
for countless other popular ones like Virtual Advanced, PCBoard, TeleGard, e To this day I *still* have yet to ever call a BBS running ProBoard, SpitFire Searchlight, TriBBS, GAP, and many others... absolutely no one ran them in m area, which seems so strange now.
My second userid (on an HP 2100 with TATSB locked down on it-- Terminal Acce Time-Shared BASIC) was "B229" and the password <looks over shoulder? was "miniandmax", after two dogs back home on another continent. (I don't think that displaying the password here compromizes anything.)
My third userid (on a Harris Semiconductor S-125B running the Vulcan OS) was "B229BGQ" and I can't remember the password.
wanted. Since I'd been using it for years, I asked for "B229BGQ" and he _point_blank_refused_! Then he forced me to use "FRODO" instead! :-/
Why are we talking about this ancient, and un-interesting historical trivia?
