It seems a nice interest from sysops wanting to join their board to
participate in TSE Makers Hobby Shop QWK Message forums. I have modified my instruction packet so it can be pasted into an advertisement message, not need ing to download a ZIP file or anything.
Please let me know what needs to be changed or corrected so i can update it
and post.
this is my current:
/*\/*\/*\/*\/*\/*\/*\/*\/*\/*\/*\/*\/*\
=========================================
] The Savage Empire Makers Hobby Shop [
=========================================
\*/\*/\*/\*/\*/\*/\*/\*/\*/\*/\*/\*/\*/
This guide is to be used by sysops wanting to host TSE Makers Hobby Shop via Synchronet's built in QWKNet network transfer
*** TSE BBS only supports QWKNet. ***
1. You will need to log in on to
telnet://tsebbs.com as NEW to establish
your BBSID
and password. Make a note of them for configuring the call out command line.
you will need to adjust your QWK or offline mail settings. If you have asked
ShadowHeart to designate your BBSID account as a QWKnet mail only account you will
get a QWK: prompt. you need to hit C
and you will change the packet configuration to match the following:
QWK Settings:
A) Ctrl-A Color Codes : Leave in
T) Archive Type : ZIP
E) Include E-mail Messages : Un-read Only
I) Include File Attachments : No
D) Delete E-mail Automatically : Yes
F) Include New Files List : No
N) Include Index Files : No
C) Include Control Files : No
H) Include HEADERS.DAT File : No
Y) Include Messages from You : No
Z) Include Time Zone (TZ) : Yes
V) Include Message Path (VIA) : Yes
M) Include Message/Reply IDs : Yes (Synchronet v3.10+)
X) Extended (QWKE) Packet Format : No
2. We need to set your Synchronet system with your BBSID. In scfg go to
Message Options -> BBSID for QWK Packets and set it to the BBSID that you had
established in step 1.
3. Now that you have your QWK settings done, you will have to import
Tsesubs.txt file into your Synchronet system. You do this by going into
scfg -> Message Areas and create a new Message Group called tseQnet. Next
we are going to import the tsesubs.txt message group list by choosing
Import Areas -> SUBS.TXT. This is available in a zip info package on my board or if
you ask, i can email it to you.
*4.* You might want to change the QWK Tagline for each area located in the
Networking Options of each sub. an example would be From [your bbs] on
TSE Makers
Hobby Shop [your bbs' telnet info]
5. Now we need to setup The Hobby Shop as a QWK Hub. In scfg go into the
Networks menu and choose QWK Packet Networks. Choose Network Hubs and
create a new QWK Network Hub and call it TSEQNET. Make sure the settings
for the TSWQNET hub match the following. Remember to replace YOURPASS
with the password that was established in step 1.
Hub System ID TSEQNET
Pack Command Line %@zip -jD %f %s
Unpack Command Line %@unzip -Coj %f %s -d %g
Call-out Command Line *qnet-ftp %s bbs.pharcyde.org YOURPASS
Call-out Node 4
Call-out Days All
Call-out Frequency 24 times a day
6. Next you are going to link in the The Hobby Shop's message areas. While still in
the QWK Hub settings menu for TSEQNET choose Networked Sub-boards.
You will have to go through all of the message areas in the Hobby Shop's
Message Group and set the Conference Number on Hub for each area to match
the following:

make sure that the connection is up and running. You should start to see
mail
flow in and out after about an hour.
Feel free and I encourage you to log on to
telnet://tsebbs.com to contact me for any
