@X38 @X3EHelp: @X3F(E)dit Allowed # Calling File                                        @X3B@X0B

      The allowed # calling file allows you to tell LoopBack which numbers that
      you want to call back.  This will prevent you from making a long distance
      call if you do not want to verify long distance users.  Also, for each
      record in the allowed # calling file, you attach a dialing template so
      that LoopBack will know how to dial any number that it comes across.
@X0F
   Wildcards

      @X03Both the Areacode/Country code field, and the Prefix/City code field may
      contain wildcards.  You may ask, "What is a wildcard?".  A wildcard is
      is a character used to represent something else.  In this case it is the
      letter X.  For example, if you wanted LoopBack to callback all prefixes in
      the 801 areacode, then you would setup a record in the allowed # calling
      file like this one:

                @X0E801 = @X0FAreacode/Country Code
                @X0EXXX = @X0FPrefix/City Code
               @X03 ^^^
               This will tell LoopBack that any number with the areacode of 801
               may be called back.

               ie.,  801-261-8976 would be a valid callback number.
                     812-261-8976 would be an invalid callback number.

     You could have something like this setup also.

                @X0E801 = @X0FAreacode/Country Code
                @X0E26X = @X0FPrefix/City Code
                @X03^^^
               This will tell LoopBack that any number with the areacode of 801,
               and a prefix with the first two numbers 26 may be called back.

               ie.,  801-261-8976 would be a valid callback number.
                     801-221-8976 would be an invalid callback number.

     Also, you may want to specify all your local prefixes and then specify
     every other prefix in your areacode as long distance.  This can be done
     by setting up something like the following.  Say your areacode is 801 and
     your local prefixes are 261 and 262 (You will be using template LOCAL).
     You will be using template LONGDIST for all other prefixes in the 801 area
     code.
               1st record
                    @X0E801 = @X0FAreacode/Country Code
                    @X0E261 = @X0FPrefix/City Code
                  @X0ELOCAL = @X0FDialing Template

               @X032nd record
                    @X0E801 = @X0FAreacode/Country Code
                    @X0E262 = @X0FPrefix/City Code
               @X0E   LOCAL = @X0FDialing Template

               @X033rd record
                    @X0E801 = @X0FAreacode/Country Code
                    @X0EXXX = @X0FPrefix/City Code
               @X0ELONGDIST = @X0FDialing Template

               @X03Notice in the third record that we have XXX as the prefix/city
               code.  You may think that LoopBack would see the prefixes 261 and
               262 in record #3 since we have XXX specified for the prefix. But
               it doesn't.  The reason for this is that LoopBack will search the
               allowed # calling file until it finds a match (if it finds no
               match it will tell the caller that his/her number is not in the
               dialing area and will exit back to PCBoard).  When it finds a
               match it will stop searching the file.  So if a user enters the
               number @X0E801-262-8976@X03, then LoopBack will see a match in record #2
               and it will look no further.  If a user enters @X0E801-545-8976@X03,
               then LoopBack will see a match in record #3 and will look no
               further.

     One drawback to wildcards is that they take MUCH longer to search than do
     the regular numbers.  So if you have a wildcard that covers around 50+
     numbers, then go ahead and keep it in there.  But if you have a wildcard
     that covers less than 50 numbers, I would recommend entering each number
     individually.  This will greatly speed up the process.


  @X0F Subcommands

      @X0BH               Help. @X03 Displays the file you are currently reading.

      @X0BQ               Quit.  @X03Quits back to LoopUtil main menu.

      @X0B+               Advance one record. @X03 This command will skip to the next
                      record in the allowed # calling file.

      @X0B-               Retard one record. @X03 This command will go back to the
                      previous record in the allowed # calling file.

      @X0BJ               Jump to record.@X03  This command will allow you to specify
                      a record number to jump to.

      @X0BA               Add a record. @X03 This command will allow you to add a new
                      record to the allowed # calling file.

      @X0BL               Edit Templates.  @X03This command will put you directly into
                      the dialing template editor.  This is a very useful
                      option if you need to add dialing templates or look to
                      see which templates are available without exiting to the
                      LoopUtil main menu.

      @X0BD               Deleted.  @X03This command will toggle the delete flag on the
                      current record.  (Note: The record will not be removed
                      from the database.  To remove a deleted record, you must
                      pack the database.)

      @X0BI               International.  @X03This command will allow you to tell
                      LoopBack if the record is an international record.  This
                      will do two things.  First, it will allow you to enter
                      four characters, instead of three, in the prefix/city
                      code field.  Second, it will make LoopBack's searching
                      process go faster.  (If the user has not entered an
                      international #, then LoopBack will not search record that
                      have the international flag on.)

      @X0BC               AreaCode/Country Code.  @X03This command will allow you to
                      to specify the Areacode/Country code that LoopBack is
                      allowed to call back.  (This field may contain wildcards)

     @X0B P               Prefix/City Code.  @X03This command will allow you to specify
                      the prefix/city code that LoopBack is allowed to callback.
                      (This field may contain wildcards.)

     @X0B T               Dialing Template Name.  @X03This command will allow you to
                      specify which dialing template it should use when it
                      comes across a number with the same areacode and prefix
                      the areacode and prefix defined in the record you are
                      editing.
