Internet/!TCPIPhelp/AutoExec
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
# This file � in KA9Q version 1.31 onwards � contains a list # of commands executed by KA9Q once it has started running. # In earlier versions of KA9Q *all* the configuration commands # were in this file - they are now in a separate Config file. # If you have an earlier version, I'd strongly advise you to # upgrade, but the annotated Config file on this disc should # help you if you are having problems setting your machine up. # # The following command generates the "message of the day" # finger motd@gate.demon.co.uk # # The following command looks for mail for a site. The format # is <demon_sitename>@post.demon.co.uk # finger acornusr@post.demon.co.uk # # 'nntp' commands are associated with net news. You will not probably # not need to change the following, which set up reasonable defaults. # The �fudge� command subtracts a given number of seconds from the # news start time to ensure that no articles are missed. # nntp trace 2 #nntp dup hist nntp fudge 120 nntp direct on nntp batch 8 # # The 'Dem' part of the next command is a label which KA9Q attaches # to all news files. Any label of up to four letters may be substituted # for it, but a newsgroup 'Xyz' will need corresponding 'XyzGroup' and # 'XyzLast' files, and will cause other 'Xyz...' files to be set up. # This is therefore best left alone, unless you have good reason to # change it. # nntp addserver news.demon.co.uk 600 Dem # # The next command starts the news transfer. This multitasks, but can # take a while for busy newsgroups, so if you are logging on at a peak # rate it might be a good idea to leave this command out of the AutoExec # sequence and input it manually when KA9Q is running. # nntp kick news.demon.co.uk #tcp st # # These commands read the network time # time server ntp.demon.co.uk time read #udp st # # �smtp� commands are associated with sending (and receiving) mail. The # gateway command sets up the IP address of the demon mailserver, the # trace command makes the mailserver print a status report in the KA9Q # command window, and �smtp kick� starts the mailserver. �smtp kick� may # be issued at any time from the KA9Q command window, for example to get # KA9Q to send mail that you have just written mid-session. # smtp gateway [158.152.1.72] smtp trace 1 smtp kick
