Hello Apam,

Just some random thoughts before I go to zzz..

How does one run the ilc.lua? Does the ilc-send.lua need to be run
separately?

I had a quick look at magichat.. I like that. Is it possible to connect
to another magichat server and have multiple BBSs connected? Where is the
best place and port to connect?

When reading messages there isn't much room for the message subject but
there is a lot of room for attribs. I wonder if the attribs and subject
lines could be swapped so the subject line can go all the way across the
screen at the bottom?

Ttyl :-)

Yes, you should run ilc-send.lua from your login-stanza.lua (doscript("/path/to/ilc.lua") i think)

I had a quick look at magichat.. I like that. Is it possible to connect
to another magichat server and have multiple BBSs connected? Where is the best place and port to connect?

Yes the idea was to have one magichat server and many bbs connect to it (or gui
client even). I don't have a magichat server running at present, so you can run one yourself if you want.

When reading messages there isn't much room for the message subject but there is a lot of room for attribs. I wonder if the attribs and subject lines could be swapped so the subject line can go all the way across the screen at the bottom?

Hmm, I've never really noticed, I'll have a look tomorrow, about to go to bed myself :)

Thanks, I'll try that out tommorrow (later today).

I have it running now on IPv4 anyway at equinoxbbs.ddns.net on port 6667
if anyone would like to connect.

Is it possible to have the server listen on both IPv4 and IPv6 at the
same time?

I don't know the spec of the TZUTC kludge but looking at some messages I
have here they always have 4 digits. Looking at my own kludges it says
-800. Should that be -0800?

Actually that is wrong for the PDT time zone that I am in right now, it
should be -0700. Early in November we are going to fall back to PST and
then it will be -0800.

We are in Pacific Daylight Time from Early March until the end of
October here.

Yes, that is the problem.

Hopefully I've fixed this now

Can you have a look at your login-stanza.lua? That doesn't seem to work
and I haven't been able to stumble upon it.. :)

Yeah, just run

./magichat 6667 true

will run on port 6667 with ipv6 enabled.

Just set this up :)

Also, if you want to add a motd to your server, add a motd.txt file to
the working directory.

I also wrote a magichat door so other systems could connect, and even
wrote a web client but I think I lost that one. Oh there is a gui client
too.

I haven't tested yet but I changed the command line and restarted.

K, I'll put something together for that.

I was just at gitlab and grabbed magiterm and built it for my desktop. I
had a look at magichat client too but I don't see a way to build it.

You need QT5 for it, on linux it's just a matter of going into the
magichat client directory and typing

qmake
make

I use qtcreator you could also use that to build it if you wanted.
