	[[Network64\|Color 64 Network]]		[[Network64\|Color 64 Network]] - <strong>Options and Features</strong>

			Here are some other optional features that you might want to take advantage of if you are running Network:

			<strong>Network Activity </strong>

			One thing you should know is that most of the Network activity appears in the caller log in blue. This should allow you to easily distinguish Network activity from regular BBS activity.


			<strong>Network Mail Verification </strong>

			Included with the system are two merges you can use to install the Network Mail Verification mod. This mod will allow users to have a message put in their mailbox verifying when their outgoing net mail was sent. The user will be asked if they want their net mail verified after they type their message. The two files are called "vnm.nw1" and "vnm.nw2" and should be merged into √bbs.nw1 and √bbs.nw2, respectively.


			<strong>Force Outgoing Send </strong>

			There is an option at the call waiting screen which allows you to manually force a call out to a node. This will only work if you have messages to be sent out. If a node is locked, or there are no messages due out, nothing will happen. All you need to do is to hold down the CTRL key for about two seconds. This will allow you to send out messages OUTSIDE of the normal window time.


			<strong>Undeliverable Network Mail </strong>

			When a node calls in and sends E-Mail for a user, the name on the header of the E-Mail will first be checked against your password file to be sure that the user still exists. If not, or if for any reason the mail is undeliverable as written, it will end up in YOUR mailbox with a note attached to it showing you where it was supposed to go. You can then direct it properly.


			<strong>Network Membership Lists </strong>

			When setting up a new node, you won't have its membership list till after you send the first message. Until you get the membership list, you will only be allowed to send either public messages or E-Mail to Sysop only. So even if you have already pre-arranged access on the remote system, you will still have to send at least one public message, or a private message to SYSOP.


			<strong>The Network Transfer Timeout </strong>

			There is an IRQ timer (an IRQ program operates in the "background” monitoring computer activity) in Color 64 which is active whenever the network is on-line. This keeps track of the on-line time. If after 5 minutes it still detects a carrier, it will force the modem to disconnect. This will ensure that nodes will not and cannot ever become "locked” together for any reason. For file transfers, the timer setting is calculated based on the size of the file.
