Feature requests

Loving the BBS.  I know this is only the first release and this is so obvious maybe it's already in the works, but I'll request it anyway:

I'd like to be able to configure multiple BBS directories and switch between them, e.g. BBS_GeneralPublic, BBS_Group1, BBS_Group2, each with its own whitelist.  It'd be really slick if I could also associate a frequency with each one, so that when I flip to Group1's frequency, it automatically points to BBS_Group1.  Maybe BBS_GeneralPublic is the default when I'm on a standard CF or slot.  

Pretty please?

It would be useful to have a report of the stations that my station has heard the most often, by band. Added enhancements would be to set a time period (e.g. last 30 days, or between date A and date B), or time of day (e.g. between 0700 and 1100). This would improve the likelihood of success when parking a message for one station on another station.

Hi Irad and all VarACiers,

I suggest that when someone has edited and changed the "Auto-QSY Allowed Frequency Ranges" file in the program, VarAC should not offer to the connecting station in the POPUP any QSY Slots that are outside the allowed Frequency Ranges. This will be very helpful and will minimize the grief that might be caused to the connecting operator if the he/she receives a REJECT in QSY, since the connecting operator has no way to know which Slots are not allowed to each specific VarAC station, and it will help a station to sucessfully QSY to an allowed Slot within the 3 minutes that he/has has available before he/she receives a disconnect at the calling frequency!

Hi,

My VARA Modem occasionally crashes for unknown reasons; this may be related to my Linux/Wine environment or accidental process termination.

When this happens, VarAC remains in the “DISCONNECT MODEM” state even though the modem process is no longer running.

To recover, I must first press “DISCONNECT MODEM” to reset VarAC’s internal state, and then press “CONNECT MODEM” again after restarting VARA Modem.

It would be very helpful if VarAC could automatically detect that VARA Modem has terminated (unexpectedly or otherwise), and automatically switch the button state from “DISCONNECT MODEM” back to “CONNECT MODEM.”
