Fido / Crash
Initiates the crash netmail and/or file request
procedure. For this to work, you need an installed
nodelist and a Primary Fido Server.
Notes:
- If the crash netmail/file request is destined for a
Fido Node, the Node's system will be called.
- If the crash netmail is destined for a Fido Point,
the Point's BossNode system will be called.
The "Crash" flag must be added to the netmail in the
"Send" dialogue by selecting "Special" and then by
selecting "Crash". It cannot be added in the message
editor.
Crash netmails/file requests can either be sent
immediately or "queued" ready for the next Netcall.
A Timing List can also be set up to send crash
netmails/file requests. This can be useful when the
destination system is not online 24/7.
IMPORTANT NOTE
--------------
Your Point address will be derived from your Primary
Fido Server configuration, which is OK if you have
just one Fido Server. However, if you have more than
one Fido Server, things are not quite so simple.
Examples:
- Your Primary Fido Server is 2:250/1
- Your Point number is 10
Your address in the "From" field of the crash netmail
will be 2:250/1.10 regardless of which Fido Server
you select.
- You have another Fido Server (2:240/2188)
- Your Point number is 25
- You want your address in the "From" field to be
2:240/2188.25
Before selecting which Fido Server to use, you MUST
change your Primary Fido Server to 2:240/2188
If you don't do this, things may not work out as
expected ;-)
