The command line parameters are documented in a bunch of different places but I can't remember where they all are!

Check the gapnetw.hlp help file (it's a Windows help file). See the Questions and Answers section. I pulled the following from there:

Question: I’ve got my Front End Mailer set up and running correctly, however, whenever a BBS caller logs on GAPMenu comes up and disconnects the caller.

Answer: When you use a Front End Mailer, the Mailer is responsible for answering the phone and transferring human callers to the BBS. This means that GAP’s Call Waiting Program (GAPMenu) is not used, and you should not be transferring control to your GAP.BAT file (the batch file you used to use to run GAP from). Instead, the batch file that you use to run the Mailer should be invoking GAPBBS.EXE directly, whenever there is a human caller.

To accomplish this, GAPBBS requires that a minimum of 7 parameters be passed to it.

These parameters are:

%1 - DTE Baud rate (Your “Initial BPS Rate”)
%2 - Port number to use (0 = COM 1, 1 = COM 2)
%3 - Local or actual user (0 = remote caller, 2 = local user)
%4 - Users actual BPS rate (Caller’s Connect/Carrier Rate)
%5 - Event time (Number of seconds till event)
%6 - Modem connect string (What you want the caller to see)
%7 - Restricted baud flag (1 = baud rate not allowed)
%8 - Minutes to Event (Number of minutes till event)

5, 6, and 7 can be passed as 0’s. 8 can be omitted, but if it is included, it is the number of minutes (instead of seconds) to the next event (overriding %5).

If you do not pass at least 7 parameters to GAPBBS.EXE, it will operate in Sysop On Locally mode, totally ignoring the Communications Port.

GAPNet is packaged with configuration files for d’Bridge and InterMail. The example batch files show how to correctly invoke GAPBBS.EXE when the Mailer detects a human caller.

HTH,
