BEACONx.SYS (\FBB\SYSTEM). This file is in the SYSTEM directory. This file makes the text that will be broadcast as mail-beacon from the BBS. The first line is a parametre that says how often to send the beacon. %15 means "send one beacon every 15 minutes". The next line says to what unproto-address the beacon will be sent. ! MAIL v LA7QR means send beacon to MAIL via LA7QR digipeater. There may be several !-lines for different paths for each port. The next lines are the actual beacon-text. Here we can use variables like $d $T etc. We cannot use variables that are specific to one channel alone. You do not need to change anything else then the !-line in this file. But you will need one file named BEACON1.SYS for TNC1, one called BEACON2.SYS for TNC2 etc. %15 ! MAIL v LA7QR $d $T <<< Mailbox $O $c >>> $N active messages. Messages for$W$Q
