CyberCrime International Network. Setup Tips and Operation Guidelines. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Setting Up - Once your application has been accepted: 1. Obtain your node number, and the node number of your assigned net host. 2. Setup the echoes on your system, both in your bbs software and in your mail tosser's area manager. 3. Send a listing of which bases you intend to carry to your host (via netmail or e-mail), along with your node number. Tell him you are setup. NOTE: If you ARE NOT planning on carrying all available echos, be SURE you mention this to your host/hub, so that he/she will be able to toggle those bases off for your system - otherwise you will be receiving messages for echos that you don't have, which could cause problems for your system. 4. Post ONE test message in CCI-SYSP. (This is the ONLY place on CyberCrime that you should post a test message! DO NOT post one in every base you are setting up!) Scan for outbound messages, then force-poll your host, verifying that your front end mailer sent the message. If your host already has you setup, you may also receive your first packet of mail. 5. If all is working well, next time your system polls your host, you should receive a reply saying that someone received your test message. If not, call your host and ask for assistance. 6. All done! Welcome to CyberCrime! Sit back and watch the messages pour in. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hints, Tips, and General Information: ú CyberCrime is absolutely free. The only cost of membership is any long- distance charges which may be incurred through polling for messages. ú If you wish to bring a new system into CyberCrime, give the sysop this entire archive, as distributed (typically, "CCI-###.ZIP"). Have him fill out the enclosed application ("CCI-APP.TXT"), and then return it via any of the methods listed at the top of the application form. ú CyberCrime is fully ANSi compatible. If you have a switch within your software to enable/disable ansi within each base, set it to On/Enable. CyberCrime also allows the use of Forum-standard pipe color codes (indicated by a | (pipe), followed by two digits from 00-15). It is recommended that you use a software which is also compatible with this popular standard. If you run a *.MSG-type mail processor, you may request a utility which converts all occurences of these pipe codes into pure ansi. This converter may be File Requested at no charge from 66:100/0 or 1:369/23 - simply request magicname "PIPE" (without quotes).
