LG> * Kent Timm gave this bit of info to All:

 -> I just finished making a little program for RA the runs in the batach
 -> file just before RA loads, it writes to the BBS log the node number,
 -> and the IP and Host name of the caller as passed by command line
 -> to the batch file from NetFoss (or whatever your runs as a front
 -> end)

 LG> Hello, I'd be interested in having some way of seeing IP and host
 LG> name in my RAnode.log The only things running here is RemoteAccess
 LG> and netserial.

netserial is like the vmodem virtual modem tool used over here...  vmodem
reports the remote IP in the connect message that is fed to the bbs...

eg: CONNECT 57600/ARQ/TEL FROM 93.217.33.52

if netserial has this capability, you should enable it if it is an option...
since i don't run RA barefoot over here, i can't really test and see how RA
would handle it...

FD processes the connect string and replaces those spaces between TEL and FROM
and the IP with underscore '_' characters... if the connection is on a POTS
line and one has caller-id turned on, the next part of the above would be the
caller-id stuff with its linebreaks changed into equal '=' signs... this make
is easier to pass on to the exebbs.bat file where later parsing of the data
may take place...

 LG> I have not had any luck getting some of my older door games

 LG> netfoss maybe someone can point me in the right direction on
 LG> how to get user IP/host into my log also.

it is gonna have to be in your virtual modem or fossil software... AIUI,
there's nothing else between the caller and the bbs that has access to that
information...
