+<p>
+This guide has been written as an aid to getting started with FreeXP. The
+intentions are to get you as far as making your first poll to your Boss,
+sending an AreaFix request and then processing the resultant list. In no
+way is it intended as a tutorial in the use of FreeXP. This document
+relates to the FreeXP version(s) of CrossPoint only. The FreeXP
+maintainer has the author's written permission to include this document
+in any and/or all of his FreeXP distribution archives. Alterations and/or
+amendments to this guide by anyone other than the copyright holder are
+expressely forbidden. Any alterations or amendments which are felt to be
+necessary should be submitted to the copyright holder at either of the

+</p>
+<p>
+<a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</a>
+</p>
+<p>
+Before commencing the installation, you <strong>MUST</strong> obtain the following
+information from your Boss:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Your Point number.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+Which archiver to use.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+Your Boss's online hours.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+Your session password.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+Does your Boss's mailer support EMSI.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+Does your Boss's mailer support FTS-0006.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+Does your Boss use 4-D or 3-D addressing.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+What name(s) does his AreaFix programme respond to.
+</p>

+<li>
+<p>
+What name(s) does his AllFix programme respond to.

+<p>
+<strong>IMPORTANT NOTE:</strong> In the unlikely event that your Boss's mailer neither
+supports EMSI nor FTS-0006, you will NOT be able to poll him with FreeXP!
+Needless to say, there's no point in going any further than here :-((

+<h2>BASIC FidoNet Point Installation(4D)</h2>
+<h3>Preliminary work</h3>
+<ol>
+<li>
+<p>
+Extract the contents of FXP???.ZIP into a directory of your choice
+(suggest \XP). Please note: the archive contains three directories; DOC,
+SAMPLES and BEISPIEL, so the -d switch must be used when extracting the
+archive to preserve the directory structure.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+Move the contents of the SAMPLES directory into your FreeXP HOME
+directory and then delete the empty SAMPLES directory. The BEISPIEL
+directory and its contents can be either ignored or deleted, as it
+contains German templates and scripts.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+Now start FreeXP by typing XP.EXE.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ol>
+<div class="sidebarblock">
+<p class="sidebartitle">READ CAREFULLY!</p>
+<p>
+Look very closely at your screen and then type "e". Do <strong>NOT</strong> press
+<Enter> at any stage <strong>unless</strong> you want the
<strong>German</strong> interface.
+</p>
+</div>
+<h3>Basic Configuration</h3>
+<div class="sidebarblock">
+<p>
+ONLINE HELP IS AVAILABLE AT ANY TIME BY PRESSING <F1>
+</p>
+</div>
+<p>
+N.B. To move between fields either press <Tab>, <Up-arrow>
+or <Down-arrow>. To "check" a box, press the <Spacebar>.
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+You should now have a box in the middle of the screen which requires
+you to input information in three fields:
+</p>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Type of Net" -------> Press F2 and cursor down to "Fido"
+ and press <Enter>
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Server name" -------> Enter the Node number of your BOSS
+ and then press <Enter>
+ (e.g. 2:250/333)
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"User name" ---------> Enter your OWN name and then press
+ <Enter>
+ (e.g. Joe Bloggs)
+</pre></div>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+You should now have another larger box in the middle of the screen with
+the cursor in the "Point number" field:
+</p>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Point number" ----------> Enter your Point number (e.g. 1)
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Point net" -------------> Leave this as it is (20000)
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Phone" -----------------> Enter the phone number of your
+ BOSS (e.g. 01274484076)
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Passwd" ----------------> Enter your session password
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Upload packer" ---------> Press F2 and a pick-list will
+ appear. By pressing <Down-arrow>
+ you can select which archiver
+ you want to use for your
+ OUTGOING mail packets. Once the
+ menu-bar is over the archiver
+ you want to use, press <Enter>.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Download unpacker ------> Exactly the same procedure as
+ for "Upload packer", except
+ with this option, you choose
+ which archiver to use for
+ INCOMING mail packets. Ideally,
+ it should be the same one as
+ your upload packer.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Zmodem options" --------> Leave blank.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"AKA's" -----------------> Leave blank.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Send packets for" ------> Leave blank.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"4D addresses" ----------> If your Boss uses 4-D
+ addressing, you need to check
+ this box. If your Boss uses 3-D
+ addressing, this box needs to
+ be empty.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"TosScan" ---------------> Leave this box checked.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"EMSI" ------------------> If your Boss's mailer supports
+ EMSI, leave this box checked. If
+ it doesn't, un-check it.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Set system clock" ------> Leave empty.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Packet password" -------> If you've agreed a packet
+ password with your Boss, check
+ this box. If you haven't, leave
+ it empty. Note: the packet
+ password MUST be the same as
+ your session password otherwise.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Use node address" ------> Leave empty.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Send empty packet" -----> Some mailers need to receive
+ something before they will send
+ anything. Check with your Boss
+ to see if his is one of this
+ type of mailer. If it is, you
+ need to check this box. If it
+ isn't, leave it empty. In most
+ cases, leave this box empty.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Ext. packet names" -----> Check this box but it would be
+ advisable to ask your Boss if
+ his mail processing software
+ supports this feature.
+</pre></div>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<div class="verbatimblock"><pre>
+Now press <Enter> to save your settings
+</pre></div>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+You should now be presented with yet another box in the middle of your
+screen with "Edit" highlighted. Tab your way along to "OK" and press
+<Enter>. When the "Beta notice" appears, read it and then either press
+<Enter> to continue or select "Cancel" to abort.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+If you elected to continue, you should now be presented with a more or
+less blank screen. Along the top of the screen you will notice a menu bar
+with nine options. For a basic configuration, some but not all of these
+options need to be configured. Look at the menu bar across the top of the
+screen, either select "Config" and press <Enter> or press "C". Now either
+select "Modem" and press <Enter> or press "M". Select the comport that
+your modem is connected to (e.g COM2) and press <Enter>. A box should now
+appear in the middle of the screen:
+</p>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Use FOSSIL driver" -----> Leave this blank.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Port address (hex)" ----> If you are using standard
+ comport addressing, leave this
+ as it is. If you are NOT using
+ standard comport addressing,
+ enter the comport address here
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"IRQ number" ------------> If you are using standard
+ comport addressing, leave this
+ as it is. If you are NOT using
+ standard comport addressing,
+ enter the IRQ number here.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Modem init" ------------> Enter your modem init string
+ here. (e.g AT&F&C1&D2)
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Modem exit" ------------> Enter the string you would
+ like FreeXP to send to the
+ modem when you exit from the
+ programme. Usually this would
+ be ATZ
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Dial comm." ------------> Press F2 and select ATDT
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"German Telekomm
+ commemorative minute" --> Leave this blank.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Ignore CD" -------------> Leave this blank.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Ignore CTS" ------------> Leave this blank.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Use RTS" ---------------> Check this box.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Detect RING" -----------> Leave this blank.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"16550 FIFO" ------------> In some instances, FreeXP
+ will automatically detect the
+ presence of a 16550 UART and
+ place an "X" in this box.
+ However, if you know that you
+ have a 16550 UART and
+ FreeXP doesn't detect it,
+ you will have to check this box
+ yourself. If you don't have a
+ 16550 UART, leave this box
+ blank.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"trigger level" ---------> This only applies if you have
+ a 16550 UART and the default
+ is 8. If you need to change
+ this, press F2 and select the
+ desired value.
+</pre></div>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<div class="verbatimblock"><pre>
+Now press <Enter> to save your settings and return to the main screen
+</pre></div>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+The next option that needs to be configured is "Edit". Press "d". A
+pull-down menu should now appear. Either cursor down to "Servers" and
+press <Enter> or press "S". You should now have a large box in the middle
+of your screen. At the bottom of the box there are six options. Either
+cursor along to "Edit" and press <Enter> or press "E". You should now see
+a pull-down menu with seven options. Cursor down to "Modem" and press
+<Enter>:
+</p>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Wait for connection" ---> This should be set to a minimum
+ of 50
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+" Dial pause" -----------> This is the time (in seconds)
+ that you want FreeXP to
+ wait between dialling attempts
+ (e.g 60)
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"max.dialling attempts" -> Set this to the number of
+ attempts that you want
+ FreeXP to re-dial after
+ receiving either a "BUSY" or a
+ "NO CARRIER" message (e.g 10)
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"max.connects" ----------> This should be set to the
+ number of times you want
+ FreeXP to re-call your BOSS
+ following a failed session. It
+ is advisable to set this to 2
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"min. cps rate" ---------> This is the minimum CPS rate at
+ which you will allow FreeXP
+ to transfer mail/files to/from
+ your Boss. If the CPS rate
+ drops below the figure that you
+ enter here, FreeXP will
+ disconnect from your Boss. It's
+ entirely a matter for you to
+ decide what to enter here. A
+ suggested figure for a 14400
+ modem would be 1200. A
+ suggested figure for a 28800
+ modem would be 2500. However,
+ if you enter "0" here,
+ FreeXP will allow the CPS
+ rate to fall indefinitely.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Modem init." -----------> If you do NOT wish to use the
+ default init string, you can
+ enter a different one here. If
+ you DO want to use the default
+ init string, leave this field
+ empty.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Interface" -------------> Press "F2" and select the
+ comport to use.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Speed" -----------------> Press "F2" and select the

+<div class="verbatimblock"><pre>
+Now press <Enter> to save your settings and return to the previous screen
+</pre></div>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Make sure that "Edit" is highlighted and then press <Enter>. Cursor
+down to "Names" and press <Enter>:
+</p>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"Node number" -----------> Your BOSS's node number should
+ already be in this box. If it
+ isn't, enter it here.
+</pre></div>
+<div class="indentedparagraph"><pre>
+"User name" -------------> Your OWN name should already be
+ in this box. If it isn't, enter

+"Origin" ----------------> Enter your origin line here
+ (e.g "My Point")

+<h3>Notes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+An areas list is NOT required prior to polling your Boss for the first
+time but just for the sake of completeness, full instructions for
+obtaining an areas list are provided below.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+It is NOT necessary to manually configure echo areas prior to polling
+your Boss for the first time.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+A nodelist is NOT required for a BASIC FidoNet Point Installation.
+</p>
+</li>

+The FreeXP main archives are available for download on the internet at
+the following URL's:
+</p>

+English language support for FreeXP is available in the FidoNet
+international echos XPOINT and POINTS. At the time of writing, these
+echos are on the Z1B, the Z2-R24 and the Z2-R25 backbones. English
+language support may also be sought in the numerous FreeXP mailing lists,
+newsgroups and Web forums, details of which may be obtained from either
+of the above URL's.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Requesting and processing an areas list</h3>
+<ol>
+<li>
+<p>
+From FreeXP's main screen, select "Message". From the menu that has
+now appeared, select "Area Manager". From the sub-menu select "Get list"
+and press <Enter>. FreeXP will now generate an areafix request. If you
+wish to view the areafix request prior to sending it to your Boss, select
+"Message/Unsent/show" and press <Enter>. The message header information
+should now be displayed. To view the message itself, press <Enter>.
+When you have looked at the areafix message, press <ESC>, <ESC>, to bring
+you back to the main screen.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+And now for the big moment - sending the areafix request to your Boss.
+First make sure your modem is switched on and then from the main screen,
+press "N", then press "S" - it's as simple as that! Now sit back and
+watch it all happen :-)
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+Assuming all went well with the poll, you must now poll your Boss
+again to pickup the areas list. Depending on how your Boss has his system
+set up will determine how long to wait before calling back. Most Bosses
+process areafix requests <em>on the spot</em>. It's entirely a matter for you to
+decide how long to wait before attempting to pickup the areas list but I
+would suggest waiting at least five minutes. To pickup the list, press
+"N" followed by "S" from the main screen and FreeXP will call your Boss
+to pickup the waiting areas list.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+You should now have two folders displayed on your main screen. One of
+the folders should be named "/�Netcall", which contains extracts from the
+logfile and the other should be marked "/<yourname>", which is your
+incoming netmail folder. To process the areas list, cursor over the
+folder named "/<yourname>" and press <Enter>. Assuming that the only item
+in this folder is the areas list, now select "Message/Area Manager/Import
+list" and press <Enter>. If there is more than the areas list in this
+folder, you need to cursor over the areas list prior to selecting
+"Message/Area Manager/Import list". FreeXP will now read the areas list
+and import it into its database. To view the areas list, cursor over the
+areas list and press <Enter>.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+To fix-in(subscribe) to an area(s), select "Message/Area Manager/
+Subscribe" and press <Enter>. The areas list will now be displayed. To
+fix into areas it's a simple matter of cursoring over the area(s) and
+pressing the <Spacebar>. When you have finished, press <Enter> and you
+will be asked to confirm your choice(s). It's a simple "Yes/No" reply.
+Assuming that you answered yes, FreeXP will generate the areafix request.
+To send the request, get back to the main screen and press "N" followed
+by "S".
+</p>
+</li>
+</ol>
+<h2>Basic/Desirable tweaks 'n twiddles</h2>
+<p>
+Once the first three polls have been successfully made, a few tweaks need
+to be done before polling your Boss again. Although not mandatory, they
+could be considered desirable:
+</p>
+<ol>
+<li>
+<p>
+From the menu bar across the top of FreeXP's main screen, select
+"Config". From the drop down menu, select "Options" and from that drop
+down menu, select "Messages". Cursor down to "Use Re^n", un-check the box
+and press <Enter>, <Enter>, <Enter>. The cursor should now be in the
+"## XP ##" box. Press <F2>, cursor down to "never" and press <Enter>.
+Check the next box and press <Enter> and then press <Enter> on the
+remaining options.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+From the menu bar across the top of FreeXP's main screen, select
+"Edit". From the drop down menu, select "Groups". Cursor down to "Netz"
+and press "E". Now cursor down to "Replies" and press F2. Cursor down to
+"none" and press <Enter>, <Enter>. Press "O" to save the new setting.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+From the menu bar across the top of FreeXP's main screen, select
+"Config". From the drop down menu, select "Options" and from that drop
+down menu, select "Netcall". Cursor down to "Complete netcall logfile
+(NETCALL.LOG)" and check the box. Now press <Enter>, <Enter> to save the
+new setting.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+From the menu bar across the top of FreeXP's main screen, select
+"Config". From the drop down menu, select "Options" and from that drop
+down menu, select "Addresses". In the "Organization" field, enter your
+system name e.g. "My Point" - without the quotes. Now press <Enter> and
+in the "Postal address" field, write your City/Town. Leave all other
+fields blank.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>
+Before writing any messages, it would be advisable to configure your
+"signature" and "greetings" templates. By doing this, you will be saving
+yourself a lot of unnecessary typing. To configure these templates,
+select "Edit" from the menu bar across the top of FreeXP's main
+screen and from the drop down menu, select "Templates". For your netmail
+signature, cursor down to "Signature (Priv)" and press <Enter>. This will
+place you in the FreeXP editor where you may define your netmail
+signature. Once you are happy with your signature, press <ESC> and answer
+"Yes" to the question. Now cursor up to "Signature (Pub)" and press
+<Enter> to get back into the editor, where you may now define your
+echomail signature. Repeat the "<ESC>, "Yes" process to save your
+echomail signature. Now cursor up to "Header (Priv)" and press <Enter> to
+get back into the editor where you may now define your netmail "greeting".
+This could be something like "Hi $VORNAME" or "Hello $VORNAME" - without
+the quotes. $VORNAME will translate to the first name of the person you
+are writing to but only for new netmail messages. For netmail replies,
+see "Quote (Priv)". Now repeat the "<ESC>", "Yes" process to save your
+netmail greeting. Now cursor up to "Header (Pub)" and press <Enter> to
+get back into the editor where you may now define your echomail
+"greeting". This could be something like "Hello All" or "Hi" - without
+the quotes. Now repeat the "<ESC>", "Yes" process to save your echomail
+greeting. A full explanation on the use and configuration of templates
+can be found in "TEMPLATE.HTO" which is available for download on the
+internet at <a href="http://www.bitzbox.plus.com";>http://www.bitzbox.plus.com</a> For
