specified words and expressions in the body of the message.

Within an area, messages are sorted by their creation date
(rather than the date they were received by the board).
Messages on the same topic are grouped into "threads" making it
easy to follow an exchange of messages.  TSX-BBS keeps track of
the last message read in each area so that users can easily
read new messages in forums with many messages.  Reading
messages in one area does not affect the last-message-read
pointer for other areas.

The sysop can also create "anonymous forums".  Messages posted
on anonymous forums do not identify the sender but rather show
a system generated name such as "Anon-8721457".  Other users
can respond to anonymous messages using private e-mail and the
replies hide the identity of the person making the reply in the
same fashion. Thus users can exchange anonymous messages before
deciding to reveal their actual names.

A "privilege expression" (see "System Security") can be
associated with each area to control which users can access the
area. This makes it easy to set up adult discussion forums and
to create private forums for groups that are using the board as
a message exchange system.  Forum access restrictions are
especially useful for Usenet which has a number of newsgroups
which are not suitable for general distribution.

A QWK facility is built into TSX-BBS to provide efficient
downloading of messages for off-line readers.

A touch of a key invokes the TSX-BBS full-screen message editor
to compose a new message or a reply.  When writing a reply, the
original message is shown in a split screen window and original
text can be quickly cut and pasted into the reply.

There are "tosser" programs available to process incoming Fido
and Usenet messages.  At the option of the sysop, new message
areas (categories) can be created automatically by the tosser
when messages arrive for areas that did not previously exist.
The sysop can block all automatic area creation or can enable
it only for subcategories of selected areas.

Fido and Usenet messages can be received via Satellite
transmission and posted to forums in real-time while the system
is running and users are browsing forums.  Fido messages can
also be received by FrontDoor dial-up type arrangements. NNTP
(Network News Transport Protocol) is supported for receiving
and posting Usenet messages through direct Internet connections.

Direct Internet Access

In addition to Internet mail (SMTP) and Usenet newsgroups,
TSX-BBS offers direct, interactive access to the Internet using
FTP and Telnet. The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program allows
you to browse through files on other computers connected to the
Internet.  Once you have found a file of interest, FTP
transfers the file to a personal workspace directory on the
TSX-BBS system.  You can then use X/Y/Z-Modem to download the
file from the TSX-BBS work area to the local computer.

A unique batch FTP facility is available in addition to direct,
on-line FTP access.  With the batch FTP facility, users browse
through lists of files for FTP archives and tag those files
that they want.  They then submit a batch FTP request that
connects to the selected site(s) and transfers the files to the
user's workspace. The user does not have to be connected to the
BBS while the batch operation is taking place; they can log in
later and download the files.  They can even submit requests to
run at specified times. Browsing this way is much faster than
direct Internet connections because the index files are stored
on the BBS computer. Users can also perform wildcard file
searches through the lists of files and tag entries that are
found by the search.

Telnet is a terminal emulator program that you can use to log
onto another computer connected to Internet.  With Telnet you
can be an interactive user on computers around the world.

FTP and Telnet run as "native" programs on the same computer
that is running TSX-BBS. There is no need to buy a separate,
dedicated Internet server computer. You can provide your users
with full Internet access and do it all with a single computer
system.

TSX-BBS allows Internet connections through both high-speed
Ethernet connections and dial-up SLIP connections. TSX-BBS can
be configured to dial an Internet provider automatically.

Incoming Telnet and FTP Access

Users around the world can also access your BBS through Telnet.
They run Telnet on their remote computers and specify your BBS
as the Internet host address. They can then log on and access
your BBS just as dial-in users do.

If you wish, you can set up file areas that are accessible via
FTP through the Internet. This allows users to download
information and files that you wish to make available -- you
become an Internet archive site. TSX includes a comprehensive
file access control system so you can designate which
directories and files are accessible to users. You can
authorize an "anonymous" FTP account with very restricted
access and authorize other accounts (with passwords) that have
more general access. You can also designate directories into
which users can deposit incoming files via FTP.

Incoming SLIP Connections

If you have an Internet connection, you can resell Internet
connections to your users. Your users can call your BBS, log
on, and then shift their connection from ASCII to SLIP (Serial
Line Interconnect Protocol). They are then connected o the
Internet through your BBS and they can run programs such as
Mosaic, Netscape, FTP, and Telnet on their local computers to
access sites on the Internet. You can limit which users are
authorized for SLIP access and the BBS daily time limits apply
to SLIP connections.

World Wide Web

There are both server and client programs for TSX-BBS to
provide World Wide Web (WWW) services.  You can design your own
"home page" and allow others around the world to access your
site to obtain information.  Your BBS users can access WWW
using Mosaic or Netscape with direct SLIP connections.  ASCII
mode callers can use the TSX-BBS Lynx or line-mode WWW browsers
that run as a component of TSX-BBS.

E-Mail

TSX-BBS has a full e-mail system that users can use to exchange
private messages. In addition to posting local messages to each
other, the TSX-BBS mail system supports Internet (SMTP) mail
and Fido Netmail messages. Users can defined synonymous names
for themselves.  In this case a message arriving with any
matching syonymous name is delivered to the user. This is
especially useful for companies that wish to designate an
individual to receive messages addressed to "sales", "support",
"info", etc.

Each user has a private "file folder" to store messages they wish to
save.  Users also have private address books where they can store
addresses.  The address book can be used for e-mail (local, Internet,
and Fido addresses) as well as Telnet and FTP Internet site addresses.

On-line "Chat"

A popular multi-line BBS feature is real-time conferencing,
"Chat". Chat allows users to set up round-table conferences
where they can carry on multi-party discussions in real-time.
TSX-BBS chat allows the sysop to create permanent discussion
topics; users can create temporary chat areas that are deleted
automatically when the last user leaves the area.  The chat
system features split screen mode which allows users to view
the ongoing conversation while composing their own
contributions.

Both public and private chat groups are support. An user can
join a public group. Private groups are created when one user
invites other users into a private conference.  Only invited
users can join a private chat.

The sysop can set up "action verbs" such as "hug", "kiss",
"kick", etc. that users can use to indicate actions or feelings
toward other users.

System Security

TSX-BBS allows the sysop to set many privilege and limit values
for each user.  Controls such as daily time limit, download
file limit, and use of individual system functions such as the
file library, E- mail, chat, QWK, etc. may be set for each
individual user. To simplify management, the sysop may also
define user "classes" which describe sets of limits and
privileges. A class can then be assigned to a user, changing
each of the users limits and privileges to those of the class.

The TSX-BBS user privilege system is simple but extremely
powerful. Each user is assigned a "security level" that ranges
from 0 to 65535. In addition, there are 80 sysop-defined
privilege flags that may be turned on or off.  The meaning for
each privilege flag may be assigned by the sysop. The privilege
flags can be used in privi- lege expressions along with the
security level and other condi- tional tests such as the date,
time, day of the week, etc. TSX-BBS privilege expressions can
include multiple logical items with 'AND' and 'OR' logical
operators and parentheses for grouping.  For example, the
following privilege expression is true for a user who has a
security level equal to or greater than 50 or has privilege
flag 1 enabled: "(PRIVLEV>=50||P1)".  The following privilege
expression is true only on Saturday: "(DAYOFWEEK==7)".

In addition to the security level and privilege flags, the
sysop can also assign a "group" number to users.  This can be
used to set up private file and message areas accessible only
to members of the group.  This is extremely useful for
commercial BBS operations that provide support areas for
various companies or organizations.

System Control

TSX-BBS comes with a "SYSOP" program that provides
comprehensive control over your system.  With the "dashboard"
display you can monitor which lines are in use, what users are
on-line, and what activities are taking place.  The sysop can
also "spy" on user sessions.  Real-time statistics displayed
include the number of logons, new user authorizations, files
uploaded and downloaded, messages sent and received, door
programs executed, and overall system loading.

The sysop can examine and modify user authorization entries,
change privileges and examine usage statistics while the system
is running. Statistics kept for each user include the date of
the user's first and last logons, the total connect time, bytes
up- loaded and downloaded, and information about the current
day's usage. Log files can be enabled to record even more
detail including the date and time of each file upload and
download.

The sysop can examine and edit file descriptions and monitor
file download counts.  A cut-and-paste clipboard makes it easy
to move files from one file area to another. All of this can be
done while the system is in full operation.

The SYSOP program can be run from the console and from dial-in
lines by properly authorized users.
