Did you get tired of using RemoteAccess or something ?

being without power for several weeks due to Hurricane Florence killed that system... when we attempted to bring it back online, it didn't know how to init the HDs... since that was the last non-linux system in the herd, we
decided to go ahead and move everything to linux... we tested a couple of different linux native BBSes over several days and selected the one that worked best for us and our HUB setup and allowed us to get back in operation as
fast as possible while providing all the services and capabilities we had glued together with shoestring and bubblegum previously...

People spout open source like it is practical for anybody to change whatever they want.

and some spout things about archiving messages using techniques and methods that were not considered, capable of being done, or even a fleeting thought back in the day... especially in a *hobby* network where 95% of the
available software was written by amateurs, high schoolers, and had no real documentation in place...

But in reality, when was the last time you committed a Synchronet patch ?

why don't you take a look for yourself... the tools are available...

FWIW: most of my work and contributions were in tickit.js and tickitcfg.js but i also provided a series of patches to clean up the dosemu setup routine and execution... other than that, i have provided a bit of input here and
there on other parts of synchronet... input that was used to further the capabilities of sbbs on the FTN side of the fence...

it should also be noted that i'm (still) not comfortable using code repositories so all of my work was submitted to someone else who them committed it to the repo... sometimes as written; sometimes with slight modification...
attribution may have been given to me via one of three or four names/handles that i commonly use...

Yup, and all while insulting those who use software which is not
"unique". It is FAR more practical to make changes to open source
software than it is to think that archiving every single Fidonet message
ever written is even POSSIBLE.

For a long time I was the only Renegade BBS in Fido.

Was this before or after the year 2000 ?

Oh after. When The Titantic BBS shutdown - that was apparently the
only other board in Fido running Renegade and actively doing
development - I was seemingly the only one left for at least a few
years. That board resurfaced recently though along with some others so unfortunately I lost those particular bragging-rights.

It seems 2020 saw a small renaissance for BBS's. Maybe COVID had something to do with it.

Pretty much everyone else I knew that was into Renegade faded away or
went off to Synchronet and Mystic. I've heard some Sysops call Mystic "Renegade on steroids" but to me its a completely different animal entirely.

I heard Renegade was a WWIV clone. That is why I avoid it.

I am interested in BBS software that possess notable cultural, historical and feature differences. Maximus and RemoteAccess went head to head for a while. WWIV had a stigmatised community, PCBoard is the defacto standard for warez, Major BBS had MUDS, TBBS specialised in hardware optimisation, Wildcat had roles-based security. They all have their own way of doing things which made them great.

I always wanted to try TBBS. A few days ago I was searching for TBBS manuals and found a dropbox archive that contained everything:

- TBBS 2.3 32 node
- TIMS
- QSO
- SYSOM
- Interchange
- TIGER
- IPAD
- Games
- All manuals

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/m8bv6ipye46j7tx/tbbs.zip).

w00t !

I noticed in another message you brought up MajorBBS.... oh man that
was a blast. I was also a huge fan of TBBS and Searchlight. But
Wildcat? Mehhhhhh.... all that yellow-and-white gave me headaches,
lol.

I was never fond of the default Wildcat color scheme. I wondered how people could tolerate all that brightness.

Because Vertrauen grants full access on the first call, which is better than BBS's that have stupid limits eg. low online time per day, do not verify their users and allow posting privileges within 24 hrs, or ask for people's phone numbers and introductory messages.

I always wanted to try TBBS. A few days ago I was searching for TBBS manual and found a dropbox archive that contained everything:

I have all of that TBBS stuff in my archives as well. Not that dropbox one
you mentioned but from some other compilation. Then there was all the stuff from Usenet and www.tbbs.org when that site was alive. Not sure if the link you have is basically the same thing.

Do you have a copy of the VHS installation videos for it? :) I do...

You need either Tipx or this other program written by some guy from the website that passes a telnet connection from a Windows computer to Tipx. I forget which one.

The manuals for TBBS and especially Tims are crucial. There is no freaking way you can get Fido working with Tims unless you had the manuals. You also need Flame as the tosser. TBBS really only works with Tims/Flame.

I wrote a couple utilities for TBBS which one was used by a very large Fido hub in the 90's. John Souvestre was his name... he went off and ran a large
ISP somewhere down south.

No matter how much people try to mod their Synchronet BBS, they
cannot get rid of the Synchronet smell.

If you hate Synchronet so much, why do you post from the Synchronet author's BBS? LOL

Because Vertrauen grants full access on the first call, which is
better than BBS's that have stupid limits eg. low online time per
day, do not verify their users and allow posting privileges
within 24 hrs, or ask for people's phone numbers and introductory messages.

Do you run a BBS with stupid restrictions and rules ?

No, but I do run a BBS. Do you?

Good reason to not look at it. Thats the dumbest thing I ever heard of.

Do you have a copy of the VHS installation videos for it? :) I do...

I saw some videos on Internet Archive and YouTube basically selling TBBS as the best thing since sliced bread.

You need either Tipx or this other program written by some guy from
the website that passes a telnet connection from a Windows computer to Tipx. I forget which one.

Looks like the dropbox packager knew what he was doing:

26/11/2018 03:51p 56,165 tipx.zip ==================================================

The manuals for TBBS and especially Tims are crucial. There is no
freaking way you can get Fido working with Tims unless you had the manuals. You also need Flame as the tosser. TBBS really only works
with Tims/Flame.

Yes, the official-looking "TBBS.DOC" that comes with v2.2 did not contain a table of contents which was the first warning sign. The file even says so:

==================================================
the documentation and instructional material normally supplied
with TBBS (which includes two printed manuals and an introductory
videotape) is not included. PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT ALTHOUGH
THIS FILE IS HERE TO ASSIST YOU IN EXPLORING TBBS, IT IS BY NO
MEANS A COMPLETE OR COMPREHENSIVE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE PRODUCT! ==================================================

I wrote a couple utilities for TBBS which one was used by a very large Fido hub in the 90's. John Souvestre was his name... he went off and
ran a large ISP somewhere down south.

Did you make any money ?

On 21 Mar 21 10:25:00, Marceline Jones said the following to Nick Andre:

Do you have a copy of the VHS installation videos for it? :) I do...

I saw some videos on Internet Archive and YouTube basically selling TBBS as the best thing since sliced bread.

The installation video I have begins with "Put the install floppy into the
disk drive and type A:\INSTALL" all the way through the configuration of
a Digiboard and understanding the menu system compiler... yes... menu system *compiler*. Its fascinating.

There was a time when I seriously considered switching to TBBS after it appeared that Renegade's developement was in limbo but unfortunately it had its quirks and limitations in the message storage. It would not run
correctly on Windows 2000 at the time as its essentially its own multitasker meant for a real DOS machine just like MajorBBS 6.

I wrote a couple utilities for TBBS which one was used by a very large Fido hub in the 90's. John Souvestre was his name... he went off and ran a large ISP somewhere down south.

Did you make any money ?

Nah, they were just little crude things that manipulated some text-files needed by the Flame tosser and message system. They weren't useful to anyone other than those who ran hub-systems that didn't want to babysit area maintenance.

Same thing with Searchlight, wrote utilities to auto-create areas and auto-generate the configuration for its Slmail interface. Wrote the same for Renegade to mirror the D'Bridge area configuration.

Always hated having to configure areas twice...

Since this is my BBS you are takling about, what is going on. That is a
valid address to telnet into my GAP BBS. What client are you using, may
I suggest using a quality client like Syncterm or ZOC, that renders the
ansi correctly. I'm not understanding why you are using a dialup command
to log into a telnet bbs. I have callers logging into my 3 systems
everyday of the week, with no issues, so I have to assume the problem
lies on your end with the client software you are using, or the setup of
that software. Give me some info, and I will try to help.

Holy shit! Where did you have to dig to find this obsecure bullshit. Try North America where most of the BBSing took place. Would tell a 1000% different story in 1996.

WWIV -> Telegard -> Renegade.

Renegade wasn't based off Telegard. It was from WWIV if any .... and my code base is no where NEAR either, and it's a long way from when I got the code
in 2003.


You can't compare any of those. I can smell a Telegard board just by it's look and feel. With WWIV being updated, its nothing like it used to be. And I last released a version of Renegade in Oct. of last year.

Telex, Terminate, Qmodem, and Procom are far from telnet clients.
Syncterm worked as it is a telnet client. I have updated the Net2bbs
front end to the newest version, so you should not have problems. If you
want, you can also visit my website at bbs.valhallabbs.com, and I have
set up ftelnet to each one of my systems for people that don't have the correct clients, or you can log into my sbbs system by telnet, and
choose option 2 or 3, and be ported to my gap or ra bbs.

This is an old style bbs, and the opening screen with the rules and regs
asked you to give true and honest info, and that only the sysop sees
this info, Here is the info you entered. I hardly call that true info.

Address 1 : 1 ADDRESS
Address 2 : STREET
Home Phone : (123)456-7890
Work Phone : (123)456-7890

I have however honered your request, and have upgraded your security.

Rules are in place on most BBS system, set up by the sysop. If you can't
follow the rules, most sysops will lock you out as well. If you are a
sysop yourself, and I'm guessing you are, as you have access to this
echo, I'm sure you have rules in place on your system also. It's real
simple, if you don't like the rules, drop carrier and find another

You want to see a unique system ? then use software that nobody
else is using.

Like Concord maybe?

you know what's funny? at the time i started running sync/2 back in the day, there were probably only a handful of sync bbses even still in existance. at the time i might have gotten this coveted award for running a 'unique' bbs.

i get tired of seeing the same stock systems too, but geez. it gets old being stressed out by everything ;)

Your logic is fallacy. Concluding that someone does not run a BBS because they do not provide a BBS address is argumentum ad ignorantiam (an argument from ignorance). You own the burden of proof, and I have no obligation to prove you wrong.

Hahahahahahahahahaha! Perfect. Karma at work.

Do you think it is wise to store personally identifiable information on a BBS over telnet ?

Telex, Terminate, Qmodem, and Procom are far from telnet clients. Syncterm worked as it is a telnet client. I have updated the Net2bbs
front end to the newest version, so you should not have problems. If
you want, you can also visit my website at bbs.valhallabbs.com, and I
have set up ftelnet to each one of my systems for people that don't
have the correct clients, or you can log into my sbbs system by
telnet, and choose option 2 or 3, and be ported to my gap or ra bbs.

Your BBS is still rejecting calls from Telix, Terminate, Qmodem and Procomm as portscans. Did you test your change ?

This is an old style bbs, and the opening screen with the rules and
regs asked you to give true and honest info, and that only the sysop
sees this info, Here is the info you entered. I hardly call that true info.
Address 1 : 1 ADDRESS
Address 2 : STREET
Home Phone : (123)456-7890
Work Phone : (123)456-7890

So you reviewed my application and made a conscious decision to reject it on the basis that false details were provided. What were you thinking ? that someone would hand over their real name, date of birth, address and contact phone numbers - are you serious ? You should ask for their social security number too.

Rules are in place on most BBS system, set up by the sysop. If you
can't follow the rules, most sysops will lock you out as well. If you
are a sysop yourself, and I'm guessing you are, as you have access to this echo, I'm sure you have rules in place on your system also. It's real simple, if you don't like the rules, drop carrier and find
another system. Not all of my systems are this rigid. Above all,
relax, have fun, and play fair.

I can appreciate leaving old questionnaires intact to showcase an authentic BBS artefact. You run it however you want, but expecting and enforcing true and honest personally identifiable information rules, especially in this day and age when online security and identity theft are widespread issues, is particularly retarded and worthy of derision.

I use Telix just fine, under Linux (and DosBox) to telnet to BBSes.

every time you connect to a bbs do you see maybe 5 or 6 random characters display on the screen before the bbs author name and other info displays?

those are meant to be a handshake.. that your client responds to to determine the features of your client, and to determine how the telnet server should behave.

what you're doing is having a bit of luck. since your client behaves like the telnet server is going to behave by default.

now if i decide to base your eligibility to use my bbs on whether your client is an actual telnet client (where often, bots that try every password in the books are NOT) .. because your client isn't responding to those 'handshakes' .. that's not my problem but yours. i believe it's reasonable thinking so.

i'd be curious to see if VMODEM behaves as the middle-man and correctly answers those 'handshakes' on your behalf. in which case sure, you would look sufficiently like a telnet client to bypass the check.

Yup.

what you're doing is having a bit of luck. since your client
behaves like the telnet server is going to behave by default.

Well, no, it's not "luck". The client (just tested with both Telix and ProComm under DosBox/Linux) is configured as an "ANSI-BBS" terminal, and that's what the BBS sees it as. Right there in the logs.

Not sure what VMODEM you're referring to. As I said, I'm using DOS
clients such as Telix.

Here's the key: You have to set the "modem init string" in the client
to: ATNET1

This works in both Telix and ProComm, and probably other DOS clients
that I haven't tried. I think that's a DosBox "kludge", and it works perfectly fine. You also need to have "serial1=modem" in your
dosbox.conf file. If you're skeptical, try it yourself and let me
know what you see.

you no longer fit the criteria i was describing because you are emulating a telnet terminal. one half with your term and one half with whichever software is responding to ATNET1

Holy shit! Where did you have to dig to find this obsecure bullshit. Try North America where most of the BBSing took place. Would tell a 1000% different story in 1996.

Where is the comparable data set for US BBS listings ? (usbbs.org has no files).

I love how she like Renegade was not the most widely used BBS software in 90s in North America ....

For a long time ... a veeeery long time, I was the only D'bridge
addict in Fidonet.

And I'm the only one using the INDIGO Point software in Fidonet.

Don't count with it. If all goes OK, indigo will become mainstream
in Brazil pretty soon :)
