Here's a copy of the batch files I used for my tests, maybe it'll be of
some help to you. I restored my board under OS/2 (as should Maximus be ;) )
but if you need other info, just ask.

NF.BAT (called when GameSvr is running)
{at}echo off
c:\bbs\netfoss.com /N%1
if errorlevel 1 goto end
c:\bbs\netcom.exe /N%1 /H%2 c:\bbs\runbbs.bat %1
c:\bbs\netfoss.com /u
:end

RUNBBS.BAT (called by NF.BAT, plain old vanilla standard BBS batch file)
c:
cd \max
max -n%1 -b38400 -lc:\max\node%1\max.log
if errorlevel 12 goto EchoMail
if errorlevel 11 goto NetMail
goto Aftercall

:EchoMail
cd \squish
squish out squash
goto Aftercall

:NetMail
cd \squish
squish squash

:Aftercall
cd \max\node%1
rem call maxall.bat
