 MR> I'm trying to help some 2400 baud callers by givin'
 MR> them extra time... I was wondering if when they logon,
 MR> and max detects the 2400 baud if there is anyway to
 MR> set them up right then to a different access level, OR
 MR> would I have to do it manually???
 VK> You may be able to do this without using mex or mecca, 
 VK> in the batch file that loads Maximus from your mailer put an IF command.
 VK> If you're using FD with the create batch file method:
 VK> if %1==2400 goto moretime
 VK> max -t60 -b%1%5 -p.....
 VK> :moretime
 VK> max -t100 -b%1%5 -p.....
now why didn't i think of that :)
 VK> On the other hand it would give them a fixed amount of 
 VK> time even if the mailer was going to do an event or 
 VK> something and needed them off before that.
that would pose a problem, for ZMH atleast.
 VK> This is probably a dumb way to do it because it can't 
 VK> be adjusted for priveledge levels and things either. 
yeah, that too :) it was a good idea but!
 VK> ... 2400 baud makes you want to get out and push.
yeah, this is what i like about Maximus Sysop's, they inherit the "free 
enterprise" attitude and generally make life more easier on people :) ie. 
increased access, more freedom, more understanding.. the seclusion of 
"elitism" (vomit) which plagues so many self pretentious, egocentric 14 - 15 
year old know-it-all nuts running bbs's these days :)
