Filename : DIGIFONE.CTL
; The ANSWER Voice Mail System software configuration file
;
; Configuration file for ANSWER.EXE, DigiPhone version
; This is a plain ASCII text file which is used to initialize the default
; options for ANSWER.EXE. To edit this file, you should use either a straight
; ASCII text editor, or a word processor in non-document mode.
; When ANSWER starts, it will set all options to a hard coded default
; value. It will then read "OPTIONS.DAT" if it exists. If not, then the
; Options menu will be invoked. Otherwise, the defaults are changed to
; those saved in the "OPTIONS.DAT" file. It will then read this
; configuration file if and only if this file is specified on the command
; line. Any options set here will override the defaults with any new
; values specified. If any options are not specified here, then they will
; remain the default value. If an unrecogized key word is found, or if any
; of the parameters are found to be invalid, then ANSWER will terminate
; with an error message identifying the unrecognized key word or invalid
; parameter. Once the file is read in, the options are written to the
; "OPTIONS.DAT" file and become the new defaults for all successive
; executions of ANSWER. This means that once this file is read in and the
; options are saved, this file is no longer needed unless you wish to
; change the defaults. Any options which are changed from within ANSWER
; (in the Control or Options menu) are written to "OPTIONS.DAT", but are
; not changed in this file. This means that the next time ANSWER is run,
; it will read the changed defaults from "OPTIONS.DAT" but will override
; those options with the values read from this file. Future version might
; write out the changed options to this file.
; Lines beginning with a letter character are considered key word lines.
; All characters after the first semi-colon on a line are ignored.
; If the last line in the file is a key word line, it must have a CR after it.
; All blank lines are ignored.
; All parameters must be separated from key words by spaces or tabs.
; For the following pathname key words, please specify the full pathname
; to the directory. If the drive letter is not specified, then the current
; drive will be used. If a '\' does not precede the pathname, then it will
; be considered a subdirectory off of the current directory. No trailing '\'
; is required. If the directory does not exists, it will be automatically and
; recursively created.
; The 'PGMDir' key word tells ANSWER where to find its operating files. This
; defaults to the current directory.
PGMDir c:\answer ; Program Directory
; The 'OGMDir' key word tells ANSWER where to find OutGoing Messages. These
; are OGM*.BIN and the Information Server message files. This defaults to
; the current directory.
OGMDir c:\answer\ogm ; Outgoing Messages Directory
; The 'ICMDir' key word tells ANSWER where to keep and find InComing Messages.
; These are ICM*.BIN and the Voice Mail Box message files. This defaults to
; the current directory.

; or writes to or from the hard disk. Use this option to reduce the amount
; of gap. This is only used for some voice mail cards (not used by the Zyxel).

; ATA will be sent to the modem and the call will be processed as a data call.
; That is, if "CONNECT" is received from the modem, ANSWER will drop with an
; errorlevel equal to the value of the numeric result code of the connect.
; If no connect is received, ANSWER returns to waiting for calls.
; If set to Fax, the same processing occurs as in Data mode except if a

; telephone area code. This defaults to no parameter (left blank).
LocalArea ; Local Area Code
; The 'NullPhone' key word is used during local message play and record. If a
; number is entered here, it will be dialed when messages are played or

; The 'CBCount' key word tells ANSWER when to initiate call back. When the
; number of incoming calls exceeds this number, the CallBack number will be
; dialed. The valid parameter range is 0 to 255, where 0 disables the call
; back feature. This defaults to 0 (disabled). Currently, this is disabled
; in the Voice Mail Box mode, however in a future version, each mail box
; owner will be able to enter a call back number.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
