subject: Alternative Limit for OLR

Hi All!
Some time ago I requested advise on how to get MAXIMUS to provide an OLR 
message limit of 400 messages for 2400 connects and 1600 messages for 
connects higher than 9600.
The only response was that it couldn't be done.
I now have this feature operating successfully with BINKLEY 2.56 and MAXIMUS 
2.02 for DOS, by provision of two MAX.PRM options and a small amendment to 
RUNBBS.BAT.
Two copies of READER.CTL are made as READ024.CTL and READ096.CTL; MAX is 
SILTED to create a separate MAX.PRM for each option and these have been named 
MAX024.PRM and MAX096.PRM.
The essential lines of RUNBBS.BAT are given below...
::RUNBBS.BAT
:Top
 if errorlevel  96 goto bbs9600   ;9600 caller - start bbs
 if errorlevel  24 goto bbs2400   ;2400 caller - start bbs
:bbs2400
 COPY C:\MAX\MAX024.PRM C:\MAX\MAX.PRM
 call bbsbatch
 goto Top
:bbs9600
 COPY C:\MAX\MAX096.PRM C:\MAX\MAX.PRM
 call bbsbatch
I expect the same methodology would work with multiple versions of MAX.CTL as 
well but I have not yet tested these.
I hope someone out there will find these options useful.
