I carry DOVE-Net on my Mystic board.
Here's how I set it up: https://web.synchro.net/?page=001-forum.ssjs&sub=fsx_mys&thread=8277

LOL, so Mystic it hurts - passing around docs in a message thread shared from a Synchronet board. :D

Looks pretty comprehensive, though. Someone ought to toss that info on the Mystic wiki.

People are trying to be helpful and you're being awfully combative.
Make your own mystic bbs and connect it to dovenet.

Ryan,

Our past conversations are officially mild. Hey, btw, netmail me or
I'll call your BBS .. when you have time this weekend.

I suspect this'll take some sort of more "live" iteration - any other method
of chatting? IRC?

It seems like you should be using MRC, since it's a BBS-specific solution. :)

Not sure MRC has any document share capability to work on mods
together. Team View is the only solution I've found effective from
that prospective. But I haven't used IRC? Honestly never been much
into the chat thing but trying to get into MRC when my healing hand
allows. I'm embarrassed to say I don't know what IRC is .. but anyway
..

...so you're telling me that you went on BBSs, but you skipped the early internet phase?

I kid. IRC is old technology, and I'm guessing that you're probably better
off with some modern software if you're going to do lots of sharing and
whatnot that you want to do in the app, rather than through links.

Anyway, IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a connected network of chat servers. Fairly distributed, too. And, mind you, there are still lots of networks involved -- the person you are talking to mentioned EFnet, but there are
plenty of other, smaller, IRC networks.

I can't say I've used Team View, but I tend to figure that most
video-chatting software has something that works for document sharing, one
way or another. E.g., sharing desktop if needed, and sending files through chat.

So I'm sure it'll work. I mostly just mentioned MRC because it's a BBS solution, and it seems most appropriate, even if it's not the actual best solution. I mean, with a few exceptions, we're all a bunch of sysops, using BBSs for no apparent reason.

I mean, I'm 80 ANSIs into a calendar app, and I have no idea why I've put
that much effort into it rather than stopping and working on a different project.

It's totally ok and kinda realistic. I was pissed at the internet for
slowing traffic down as much as it did on BBSs; at the time I felt
there was room for both. Plus didn't like the 3-5 files necessary to
connect to the internet at the time, lol! Something like winsock, and
I don't remember the rest.

Ok, glad I didn't miss any modern tech :) lol!

I think I went right to yahoo messenger but will look it up if I need
to. Ryan and I were able to work through the issue thank god, my
message and file groups/areas finally show again! Big credits to him.

It's remote access through microsoft (I think) ..I like it better then
zoom for sharing desktops and working through issues.

I usually use TeamView when helping sysops or being helped by one,
along with Zoom or simply the phone to talk through it. Sometimes
modern tech is the best way to get older tech to work again. It'll be
nice when we have some of those tools (especially displaying .jpg
images) accessible on BBS's. While I don't want to see cat or Trump
memes, it would be nice to post snips when trouble shooting issues.

Ugh. I remember the bad old days on that -- when you had to make sure you set up various IP addresses correctly when getting connected to any network.

And then I remember running into an issue when I attempted to use those files in Win95, and causing myself no end to pain in debugging.

Yeah, glad things have moved on, on that front. Much like how much nicer it
is to have FTN stuff built into BBS software.

Indeed. The avoiding of memes of that type is probably one of the best things about using old technology.

But, agreed, sometimes additional bits would be nice.

Yeah, I sold PC's back then, which also meant playing tech support and installer / service for clients. While I understood it, it was kinda
like the craze of Encyclopedia Britannica on CD-Rom. While cool, I
just had little use for it at the time. Now of course .. looking back
.. I'd have invested in Yahoo, Amazon, Apple, etc.. back in the day.
Did you know if Apple had never split shares, they'd be worth $28,000
per share right now? Incredible how much I missed. But I'm content
with the way my life ended up.

Yeah .. everyone has a hardship story right now; and that one moment
they're trying to share that is positive, with people they type to
everyday without ever seeing them. Sometimes it would be nice to post
my gardens progress on the fido gardening site. But this format
definitely has allowed me an opportunity to build on my written word.

Also, say, Google, where if you had a couple hundred bucks, you could've reasonably joined in the IPO.

But figure this is back when AOL was seen as a highly-valuable company (and back before people began to think that Time Warner acquired AOL and it was a terrible idea, instead of AOL converting their worthless stock into Time Warner, which was a brilliant idea.).

So don't take it too hard -- if people could predict decently, prices would already be different.

That said, if you had money, just sticking it in a fairly broad index fund
has wound up being a solid investment. No black-swan predicting skills needed.

Time to make an ANSI from a picture of one of your plants, and annoy 25% of
the people for whom the ANSI doesn't come through very well. :)

But, indeed, and agreed.

Here's one for you.. I had a chance to buy stock in a dying company called Quantum Services, the shares were selling for about $2 and change a share, it was an Online Service. There was an underground group trying to take over the company and keep the online service going. I wanted to invest a few hundred bucks but my wife said no! So I didn't. The Online service closed down about
6 months later but was re-invented. That online service was Qlink, and it became AOL! Suffice to say if I would have bought $300 worth of shares and
sold them in 2005 not knowing the exact figures but a investor friend once
told me those shares after splitting numerous times would have been worth
close to a cool million! Woulda, coulda, shoulda! Jeez..
