+NetFoss was tested with ProBoard BBS for DOS version 2.17 and higher. Replace C for your actual hard drive letter, if you did not use the C Drive.
-	A.  Create directories for each node such as c:\pb\node1
-	    and c:\pb\node2 etc.  *THIS IS A MUST!*
-	B.  Your directory tree should look like this:
-		C:\PB
+Here is how to configure it:
-		C:\PB\NODE1
-		C:\PB\NODE2
-  - Ordered List ItemCreate a RUNPB.BAT in the ProBoard Directory, which looks like this:
+) Extract ProBoard in c:\pb
-            set proboard=c:\pb
+  * Create directories for each node such as c:\pb\node1 and c:\pb\node2 etc.  *THIS IS A MUST!*
-            cd\pb\node%1
+  * Your directory tree should look like this:
-            \pb\proboard.exe -B115200 -N%1
-    The -B115200 switch tells ProBoard to assume that the caller is
+        C:\PB
-    already connected to the modem at that speed.
+        C:\PB\NODE1
-    The -N%1 passes the node number, since %1 is replaced with the
+        C:\PB\NODE2
-    node number when the batch file is run.
-) Unzip the NetFoss files into a directory such as c:\netfoss\ and also
+) Create a RUNPB.BAT in the ProBoard Directory, which looks like this:
-     unzip the included NET2BBS.ZIP into the same directory.
-     Copy NETFOSS.DLL into the \windows\system32\ directory.
-     This can ONLY be done from a Command Prompt which was opened using
-     "Run As Administrator" (right click on its icon to select this) in Windows
-     Vista and above.  However this can also be done from dragging NETFOSS.DLL
-     in Windows Explorer to the \windows\system32\ folder.
-) Configure a Telnet Server to run the NF.BAT and the RUNPB.BAT
+        set proboard=c:\pb
-     batch files. If you are using the included Net2BBS Telnet Server,
+        cd\pb\node%1
-     then edit your Net2BBS.INI file to use a command line like this:

+) For maximum file transfer speed, install Public Domain Zmodem (PD ZModem) as an external protocol in ProBoard. This runs several times faster then the ProBoard internal Zmodem or FDSZ.
