Hello Isaac,
There are a few things that you did not think about. The chances
of someoeone calling your house and letting it ring 8 times is
very possible. Or how about 2 people calling and letting it ring
4 times each? ;)  What I would suggest is have it trigger on a
single ring. That is one and only one ring in a ten second
period. The following is off the top of my head as one way to do
this. This script will continue to run forever until you hit ESC
and abort it. It will trigger each and every time it gets a
single ring as described above. For your mailruns I would have
linked scripts for each BBS (written by RECORD) that you want to
call that do each BBSs mailrun. Have your trigger script then run
DIALLOOP that I will put in the next message to you.
