 +==== Prompting for a TCP Host ====
 +
 +By setting the ''Prompt'' key value (to a text string asking the remote user to press a key), you can have SexPOTS connect to one of a set of TCP hosts by creating additional ''[TCP:x]'' sections in your ''.ini'' file, where ''x'' is a single non-control character that the user may respond with to choose that host to connect with. If the user does not respond by the configured ''PromptTimeout'' duration (default: 60 seconds) or responds with an invalid key press, the default host is connected to.
 +
 +Example .ini file (with default values given):
 +<file sexpots.ini>
 +Prompt: "Hit 'P' for PBX or ENTER for BBS now"
 +
 +[TCP]
 +Host=mybbs
 +Port=23
 +Telnet=true

 +Host=thepbx
 +Port=2600
