• Message base / Conference areas

    From Jim Haight@1:322/757 to All on Saturday, April 02, 2022 12:58:19
    So I am putzing with my Renegade message base set up and reading docs about setting up Metronet with Gecho and Renemail. What is really missing from the documentation is setting up a separate conference for Metronet, especially if I would eventually have several FTN type message bases. Is there something definitive to read to help with this? I believe it's the place to start in my circumstance. Thank you for any input in advance.

    Just go into the conference editor and create a conference (say M for MetroNet), then for the access fields on each base have the access as CA|CM if you had a conference setup for ALL as confernce A that is. If not, the access would just be CM.

    ... If you leave the room, you're elected.

    Yes but... the elephant in the room is that there is no option for a conference change in the stock menu :O Therefore I am going back to the beginning here in the basic Renegade setup.

    $ on the WFC screen to make the conference. OR is the cmd key for conferences. And the letter on option 6. (ie: M, A, F, etc).

    ... And they said unto Jesus, "How the Hell did you do that?!

    Sorry but I am missing something. Where do you put the command key for the conference. I've created MetroNet as the conference but don't know where to configure the cmd "OR".

    Make a menu command, option 5. is cmd key -- OR, Option 6. is option (enter letter here) M
