OTHER NOTES
If you want to 'go voice' with a user, you can put the caller on hold with 'F8'
and then turn off the modem. Be sure both modems are turned back on before you
hit 'F1' to re-enter the board. 'F8' will also hold the caller while you go
into Sysop Mode to change password, access level, etc.
If you have a caller on voice line and want to start the board, you can
simulate a ring detect by pressing the fire button of a joystick in port #2.
Message base files can be read from the Sysop Mode, with option to delete. If
nothing further is done, deleted messages will simply cause a 'message #x not
found'. Although this causes no particular problem, you will find it useful to
periodically renumber the messages. This is very simply accomplished using the
'Renumber Messages' option in '6485 setup'. The process is automatic.
When the BBS is configured to operate with a 300/1200 baud modem, the baud rate
is auto-selected on each incoming call. In this mode, the caller will see a
blank screen at carrier detect. The board is waiting for a [RETURN]
from the caller, which it will sense, and switch to the appropriate baud rate.
NOTE: Only if the user logs on at 300 baud, will he see the option to change
rates between 300-500 baud. The effectiveness of various rates between 300-500
baud will depend a lot on telephone line conditions at the time.
