FORMAT of BEACONx.SYS

# BEACONx.SYS

    BEACONx.SYS (\FBB\SYSTEM).

     This file is in the SYSTEM directory. This file makes the text that will be
    broadcast as mail-beacon from the BBS. The first line is a parametre that
    says how often to send the beacon. %15 means "send one beacon every 15
    minutes". The next line says to what unproto-address the beacon will be sent.
    ! MAIL v LA7QR means send beacon to MAIL via LA7QR digipeater.
    There may be several !-lines for different paths for each port.

    The next lines are the actual beacon-text. Here we can use variables like $d
    $T etc. We cannot use variables that are specific to one channel alone. You
    do not need to change anything else then the !-line in this file. But you
    will need one file named BEACON1.SYS for TNC1, one called BEACON2.SYS for
    TNC2 etc.

     %15
     ! MAIL v LA7QR
     $d $T <<< Mailbox $O $c >>> $N active messages.
