
                  INSTALLING HS/LINK EXTERNAL PROTOCOL
                      IN ProBoard BBS VERSION 1.17

     Please refer to the ProBoard manual for detailed information on
     installation of external protocols.  This information was tested
     with HS/Link betas posted on 11/19/91 after 3:45PM and ProBoard
     version 1.17.

     The following installation steps should work for most folks:

     Place a copy of HSLINK.EXE into your main C:\PB directory.

     Run PROCFG.EXE and press F2 for the PROTOCOL CONFIGURATION menu.
     Then press the INS to insert a new protocol.

     The definition of the HS/Link should look like this:

     The bi-directional transfers only work when the Download command is
     used because you cannot request files to be received.  You may want
     to explain to your users that they will need to describe any files
     they upload while downloading AFTER the transfer is completed.

     Note for systems running locked COM ports:
     We have found that if you use a locked DTE of 9600 or above, you
     will need to have a NS16550AN UART installed.  Also, for rock solid
     performance you should add the -HS (Handshake Slow) switch to your
     'Download cmd' and 'Upload cmd' configuration lines.

     This should get you set up in under 10 minutes.

     You can edit the 'Download cmd' and 'Upload cmd' configuration
     lines to include options on the HSLINK command line, but most folks
     won't need to change anything.  If your system can't keep up with
     the COM port while accessing the disk drive, you may want to add
     -HS to both lines.  If you want to experiment, there are a number
     of optional parameters you can read about in HSLINK.DOC and
     HSLINK.NEW.

     I hope these instructions help, but remember, I can't take
     responsibility for any damages resulting from these instructions.
     If you get stuck, it always helps to read the DOC files that come
     with ProBoard and with HS/Link.  If all else fails, call up the
     Tool Shop and ask for help on the Support Conference.  Either I
     will help you, or somebody else will know the answer and give you a
     hand.

     Good luck!
