2. Setting up SBBSECHO

2.1 Running ECHOCFG

To setup SBBSECHO, (the program that tosses the mail between Synchronet and
the Argus Mailer) you need to invoke the following command line in a DOS box
from within the C:\SBBS\EXEC\ directory.

ECHOCFG C:\SBBS\CTRL\SBBSECHO.CFG

Not that it really needs repeating, but be sure to insert your drive/path
as necessary.

Upon invoking this command, you will be presented with a screen similar
to Figure 10.

 Figure 10.

Make sure the first option, Mailer Type is set to Binkley/FLO.

Hub system you have been assigned. ]

		his password along with a session password for Argus  to your 
		assigned Hub.  Discussed later in the Argus Setup section.)  
		If you wish to use a packet password, you may also send that as 
		well although there really is no need for it.

2.3 Paths and Filenames

Refer to Figure 12 below for path configuration.  Again, be sure to substitute
your SBBS directory (C:\SBBS\) for the first part of the path.  The \ARGUS\INSEC\
and \ARGUS\OUT\ need to remain the same.  You can place any path and filename for
the Log File that you want.  [ Note:  At all times make sure you substitute the correct path
wherever paths are required.]
