If you're setting up on Windows, use NetFoss as your FOSSIL and TelSrv/GameSrv 
as your telnet server.

The BinkleyTerm documentation is confusing and out of date. Much detail on how 
to optimise crap WaZOO/Bark protocols nobody uses anymore and writing scripts 
for use with "GTE Telenet PC Pursuit" (oh my god) etc. 

Bt_User.Doc contains installation notes, and Bt_Ref.Doc contains descriptions 
of configuration options and some deployment notes (eg. ErrorLevel vs. BBSSpawn 
methods).

1. Copy the basic configuration file (NewUser.Cfg) to \bt\Binkley.Cfg (it 
should be found in the Bdoc_260.rar package

2. Copy the basic event file (Binkley.Evt) to \bt\Binkley.Evt

3. Modify the essential stuff in Binkley.Cfg

4. Add "event all 00:00 b m" to Binkley.Evt

5. Run a real comport Fossil like BNU/ADF

6. Run Bt.exe

For examples on how to setup a main BinkleyTerm batch file, see the reference 
guide.

BinkleyTerm is an antiquated pain in the ass. You don't need BinkleyTerm for 
anything these days unless you're using dialup mail sessions.

I only use BinkleyTerm for scheduling events like mail/msgarea related 
maintenance, and for kicks.
