    HI there and welcome :)

    Confirming you made it as far as New Zealand and no doubt points beyond :)

    Check the aka you have assigned to your message base(s) as it's not showing
    the test /999 address you will be testing with.

    Feel free to post questions here and the guys will help / support you :)

    You may want to add the fsxNet address to the message bases settings. That
    way it won't come up as 0:0/0.

    I've been following your videos, but there have been some pretty large

    Yeah I'm feeling quite bad about that, had started another series but also dropped the ball on that due to time pressures and work etc. But the plan is
    to update some of those clips for that very reason.

    If you follow the raspberry pi setup videos, you'll find things a bit easier since it's a newer version than the Windows version in his videos. The paths will look a little different between Linux and Windows, but the files are the same. Just remember to use Windows/DOS paths and you'll be fine.

    Well I wish you all the best in that hunt and for times when you're not doing the demands of adult life you can find some downtime in BBS :) That's what I
    do and I simply love it.

Hot ans sunny here we're about to get Tony (vk3jed, and Vorlon, and Apams and Deon's and...) heatwave they have been getting whacked with in Australia. Across New Zealand temps are forecast to get really hot (for us) over the whole of the coming week.

    Sucks to be indoors on nice days but I am also happy to have some aircon and escape the worst of the heat :)

    Thank you! And I do find some solace in BBSing these days. I've started
    working on each one I run, trying to give them a distinct personality of
    their own. I'm not much of an ANSI artist, and I can't pay someone to do it
    for me, so I muddle through. I do love it, and have since I first started on that fateful night in 1988. lol!

    It is global, and I'm enjoying it. :) I do enjoy chatting with people and getting to know them and where they're from. If I had money, I'd be more of a traveler. lol! I've read some of the discusssion on weather coming across
    the echoes. Y'all can send some of that heat here. It was -2C here this
    morning when I woke up. Yuck! I will say it's easier in the cold to throw on another layer of clothing to go out in public, than to leave off a layer or
    two when it's hot; people really frown when you walk around naked outside. LMAO!

    I know what you mean. Being from West Texas, I know about heat. Even when
    it's "cool" outside, if you're in the sun it's hot. Not even a joke on that one! To make it worse, my old truck has no AC. It's not really enticing to go out unless it's unavoidable during the Summer when it's 43C in the shade. XD

    That's why I no longer live in Wisconsin, and moved to New Mexico. Today

    It's why I want to move back to Wisconsin -- though admittedly, below -25C is pushing it even for me. All my best activities are winter activities --
    skiing, skating, curling, ice fishing. I always found summers boring by comparison.

    Went back a year ago for a visit in January and loved the weather. I'll be heading back again in a couple of days, and looking forward to it.

    I'm Wisconsin raised, but living now in Taiwan. While I admit recent temps in WI are a bit cold even for me, the -10C to -15C range isn't a problem.

    However, I've been in Taiwan for twenty years, and I don't think I've
    ever seen more than 38C or so here. I did spend a couple of years in
    equatorial Africa, so I'm acquainted with high forties, but that's not to
    say I ever particularly enjoyed it :-)

    True, not ALL TX drivers are clueless. My father was one of the non-clueless, but he wasn't a homegrown Texan.

    The driving around Dallas on the I75 bypass was pretty scary year-round, though. I once pissed off some guy by driving only 85 in the fast lane. He
    laid into his horn until I moved over.

    Then there was the guy tailgating me so close I could make out the headline

    I've lived on all seven continents, and one thing I've noticed is how consistently people love to complain about just how bad THEY are over THERE.
    In Taiwan I'm forever hearing about how rude or uncouth Chinese people are.
    (My wife would complain about how the Chinese love to spit everywhere till I told her to look down at the road next time she's stopped at an intersection
    on a scooter -- red betelnut splotches everywhere.)

    Back in my college days in Wisconsin, I recall watching the news one night showing a multi-car wipe-out somewhere in Texas after a dusting of snow, and
    we guffawed over how bad those Texas drivers were. When I moved to Texas, I used hear complaints about how bad those Louisiana drivers were.

    Then one day a couple of years back I was showing some friends here in Taiwan
    a video of a huge pile-up near Waukesha in SE Wisconsin during a whiteout,
    and I'll be d**med if someone didn't post a comment saying, "Yeah, those
    people in southern Wisconsin don't know how to drive. Those of us up here in northern Wisconsin -- now WE know how handle snow."

    Some parts of the state don't get much moisture, or snow, or ice. I'm from Amarillo, and we generally get all 4 seasons. Usually wrecks don't happen
    much past the first real snow. I don't know if it's because the idiots that can't drive in the snow/ice are already out of commission because of the
    prior snow, or if people get their memories refreshed. lol! In any case,
    there are a lot of people who can't drive in high wind either. It's second nature for those of us in West Texas. LOL!

    Houston may be the exception though... I love driving there because they drive like they mean it...and there's lots of driving to do/places to

    Meh, big city driving is big city driving. I've driven in Dallas, Houston, Austin, Denver, Atlanta, Raleigh, Nashville, and a slew of others. A traffic jam is a traffic jam. Austin was probably my favorite place to live. There's something to do every day of the week, and it's quite a progressive and
    vibrant area. It's like the opposite of Amarillo. lol!

    The whole state? lol! I live in a fairly flat part of Texas, the ice and snow doesn't shut us down often. Austin gets like 3 days of winter, and it usually involves an ice storm. That's the hill country, so trying to drive on ice up and down pretty steep hills doesn't really work very well and presents a real danger, so they shutdown for a day or two, then it's business as usual.

    The driving around Dallas on the I75 bypass was pretty scary year-round, though. I once pissed off some guy by driving only 85 in the fast lane.
    He laid into his horn until I moved over.

    Don't forget the infamous MixMasters. I once had to go through one 3 times before I finally got going in the direction I needed.

    I lived on the SW side and worked in Allen, just north of Plano, so there was no other practical way to get there. My shift started at 4P If I left home at 3:10, I'd get there in 40 minutes. If I left home three minutes later, it'd be an hour and a half.


    I can believe it! It's probably worse now. There seems to be no end of traffic, ever, and they're always doing some sort of construction.I've watched traffic jams as I took the frontage. No thank you. lol

    Have you heard about the I-10 monstrosity in Houston between Katy and
    Downtown? 24 lanes at its widest point... and traffic is now 5-15 minutes slower than it was before they widened it.

    Some parts of the state don't get much moisture, or snow, or ice. I'm
    from Amarillo, and we generally get all 4 seasons. Usually wrecks don't happen much past the first real snow. I don't know if it's because the idiots that can't drive in the snow/ice are already out of commission because of the prior snow, or if people get their memories refreshed.
    lol! In any case, there are a lot of people who can't drive in high wind either. It's second nature for those of us in West Texas. LOL!

    I spent 28 years in Central Texas, 17 of which were in Austin... Talk about people who can't handle moisture or ice/snow... It's really fun watching the trucks from mexico drive I-35 in icy conditions.

    That' way too cold for me. :)

    However, I've been in Taiwan for twenty years, and I don't think I've

    What I can't get my head around is how short your exits are. It's like.. sign informing you of an exit, then boom - exit arrives. Here in Sweden there are 2-3 signs before the exit informing you about it and the exit itself is rather long so you have time to slow down safely, etc.

    Either they're baffled or they're living high on the hog with all the new dynamic fares in the 4 Toll/HOV lanes. It's basic supply and demand....
    when you increase capacity, more people will use it instead of going the alternate routes they always used before.

    I wonder if that included ice events... I was in Houston several years ago in January and an ice storm made it there. While at the same time here in La Junta they were the lucky recipients of an "Albuquerque Low" which is a
    winter storm that rolls in and just drops tons of snow sometimes for days,
    and then being down in the river valley that snow hangs around a good while keeping it cold here... That one was so big it made national news because
    the governor had the national guard air lifting food to the livestock because the 5 ft or so of snow was too much for the ranchers to go through.

    Really? As if the loop wasn't enough? That's crazy! I don't like the
    idea of the government being able to just make an existing highway a
    toll, even if it's just a lane. I'll admit, driving on I-35 in Austin proper was scary. lol What they're proposing sounds like a nightmare.

    Well they found a loophole in the law regarding converting highways into partial toll lanes... The Toll Authority will be issuing bonds for the improvements and since they're technically creating 2 new inner lanes with
    the money they can toll those two lanes as long as there's a comparable free route.... they can't force the tolls.

    I've driven in Dallas. Mind you, it was the first time ever in my lif driving on a road outside Europe, and it scared the shit out of me an vowed never to drive in the USA again. My collegue had to do all the driving for the rest of my two weeks of being there working. :)

    I don't blame you! Driving in Dallas is a special experience. If you've never had the shit scared out of you driving, I really suggest it. lol! Not all places in the US are that bad. Traffic here isn't usually very bad, though the interstate on the East side of town has some pretty
    heavy construction going on. I've driven bumper to bumper in Dallas, Austin, Houston, Denver, Atlanta, and Nashville, and a few others to cut the list short, and I'll admit that Dallas is probably the worst of
    them. :)

    Now, with that imagery in your head, imagine being in Austin after 250K folks from Dallas have moved down there, plus another 250K from California all
    mixed in with the folks who've always been driving in Austin.

    Well they may have seemed crazy, but Germany has much stricter laws and considerably fairer/better enforcement than we do here in the states.

    What I can't get my head around is how short your exits are. It's like.. sign informing you of an exit, then boom - exit arrives. Here in Sweden there are 2-3 signs before the exit informing you about it and the exit itself is rather long so you have time to slow down safely, etc.

    With the exception of the ones in Downtown Austin and a few in San Antonio, most of the exits in Texas off the Interstates are done that way.... along
    with most state highways... But they're also big there on having service
    roads running alongside the freeways so traffic can be diverted if necessary and emergency vehicles an get to the scene faster.

    The Autobahn is a rare thing in Europe. The streches of road where the are no speed limit on the Autobahn are as I understand it getting more and more rare. Also traffic can be pretty dense so even if there is no speed limit there will be traffic jams for several kilometers.

    I can see that. I guess we're so used to "Next Exit" signs it really doesn't phase us much. In some of the larger cities, they'll have exits start posting about 3 miles from the actual exit, and then every mile after that. In more rural areas, and smaller cities, there's usually one, maybe 2 signs before
    the actual exit.

    Here either. We can get some pretty bad sand storms. I was driving back from Lubbock once, and hit a dust storm. No one was moving, and the winds had to
    be in excess of 60+MPH. I watched a rig get blown over sitting still on the road, because no one could move. Think whiteout but with sand instead. Good thing there wasn't anyone on that side of him, but his truck ended up on its side in the ditch. Fun times...

    I think it was just counting snow, not ice storms.

    here in La Junta they were the lucky recipients of an "Albuquerque Low" which is a winter storm that rolls in and just drops tons of snow sometimes for days, and then being down in the river valley that snow hangs around a good while keeping it cold here... That one was so big
    it made national news because the governor had the national guard air lifting food to the livestock because the 5 ft or so of snow was too
    much for the ranchers to go through.


    That sounds pretty bad. I don't remember ever getting that much snow in Amarillo. That's just a crazy amount for Louisiana... I probably wasn't
    paying attention at the time, as I was trying to figure out how to get out of
    a really bad situation with the ex...

So what happens when 4 card arrive at the intersection at exactly the same time? At least a roundabout would give them all a chance to enter simultaneously in a safe and efficient manner. :)

    Down in Melbourne (Australia), they turned a number of freeways into tollways in the 1990s during an upgrade, which was annoying, though for some trips, especially on weekends, the toll roads to save a lot of time nowadays. They have also built completely new toll roads too.

    I still prefer roundabouts, the rules are simple. Traffic entering the roundabout must give way to traffic already on the roundabout, if there is a risk of collision. They work pretty well in most cases. The main exception is the majority of traffic flows in and out of the entry/exit points, which can lock out others from entering the roundabout. In those cases, lights are a better solution, but 95%+ of intersections, roundabouts give better traffic flow.

    Advanced warning for exits is nice, especially if you're on the inside lane

    Either they're baffled or they're living high on the hog with all the new dynamic fares in the 4 Toll/HOV lanes. It's basic supply and demand.... when you increase capacity, more people will use it instead of going the alternate routes they always used before.

    In the San Francisco Bay Area, we've had toll lanes that have been under construction for what seems like years. The ones that are open always have gouging rates when the traffic in the bay area is congested (read: always), like $24 for an 8 mile stretch.

    California just expired the partial-electric vehicle HOV stickers I got on my Plug-in Prius in 2014. It was a good run. Now, there are many more electric vehicles in CA, so only full-electric vehicles get a sticker, and now they expire automatically in 4 years.

    Indiana is replacing more and more stop lights with round abouts. While, I understand the concept that it might be more efficient, what bothers me are
    the multilane round abouts where you have to be in the correct lane to be
    able to exit where you want. Often times I see people shifting lanes without paying any attention to cars around them in other lanes. I guess the
    positive benefit is that usually when they do something like this their speed is a lot slower than if they just blew a red light and slammed into someone else.

    That figures... I hope they won't be perma-toll, but I'm not holding my breath. I just tell my gps to avoid tolls, and that solves my toll problem. lol! Tolls seem like just another tax to me.

    My family has a cabin up in the Sierra Nevadas. Idyllic, quiet, but we need to drive from the coast, through the SF bay area, and through Sacramento to get there. Tolls are now $14.00 each way, if you take the direct route.

    Traffic has gotten so bad that Google Maps and Waze have us going through Central California, circumventing the bay area completely, and coming up through Sacramento. We miss all of the tolls and the commute traffic, and end up getting there faster now!

    What I can't get my head around is how short your exits are. It's like..
    sign informing you of an exit, then boom - exit arrives. Here in Sweden
    there are 2-3 signs before the exit informing you about it and the exit
    itself is rather long so you have time to slow down safely, etc.

    With the exception of the ones in Downtown Austin and a few in San Antonio,
    most of the exits in Texas off the Interstates are done that way....
    along
    with most state highways... But they're also big there on having
    service
    roads running alongside the freeways so traffic can be diverted if necessary
    and emergency vehicles an get to the scene faster.

    Oh, I thought those roads beside the roads was toll roads or something. They looked dirty and unused so I assumed people didn't want to to pay to drive on them.

    I am curious... how does the driving in the US compare with Europe?

    The Autobahn is a rare thing in Europe. The streches of road where the
    are no speed limit on the Autobahn are as I understand it getting more
    and more rare. Also traffic can be pretty dense so even if there is no
    speed limit there will be traffic jams for several kilometers.

    The only time I was on the Autobahn was going from the airport in
    Frankfurt
    to Kassel and back. The rest of the time, I rode the train.


    I had to take a taxi once via the Autobahn. It was an old, beat up Mercedes estate wagon. He was doing 200+ km/h and was steering with his knee while texting someone on his phone. We asked several times for him (the driver) to slow down, each time less and less politely and finally I just yelled "STOP THE
    FUCKING CAR" when we got into some other city, can't remember the name. Payed the guy and then took another taxi with an older man who drove way more gently.

    I don't blame you! Driving in Dallas is a special experience. If you've
    never had the shit scared out of you driving, I really suggest it. lol!
    Not all places in the US are that bad. Traffic here isn't usually very
    bad, though the interstate on the East side of town has some pretty
    heavy construction going on. I've driven bumper to bumper in Dallas,
    Austin, Houston, Denver, Atlanta, and Nashville, and a few others to cut
    the list short, and I'll admit that Dallas is probably the worst of
    them. :)

    Now, with that imagery in your head, imagine being in Austin after
    250K folks
    from Dallas have moved down there, plus another 250K from California
    all
    mixed in with the folks who've always been driving in Austin.

    Indiana is replacing more and more stop lights with round abouts.
    While, I understand the concept that it might be more efficient, what bothers me are the multilane round abouts where you have to be in the correct lane to be able to exit where you want. Often times I see
    people shifting lanes without paying any attention to cars around them
    in other lanes. I guess the positive benefit is that usually when they
    do something like this their speed is a lot slower than if they just
    blew a red light and slammed into someone else.


    I completely understand where you're coming from. We in the States aren't accustomed to roundabouts, and doubly so on multi-lane roundabouts. Having experienced a single lane myself, multi-lanes seems a bit nightmarish to me.
    It also conjures up that scene in European Vacation where they're stuck on
    the roundabout for hours and hours. lol!

    lol!

    Make the roundabout bigger. There's some big roundabouts here on roads that heavy vehicles frequent. :)

    LOL that's a classic scene.

    But yeah multi lane roundabouts take a bit of practice. 2 lanes is fairly straightforward. 3 or more takes some real thought to navigate. In Melbourne, they even have a roundabout or two with lights, to better manage the traffic.

    In Perth, they have really good signage, which informs drivers of the distances to the next 3 exits and where they lead.

    There's a great podcast about some artists in Los Angeles who were unhappy
    with the freeway signage for their exit, so they made their own. Copied the fonts and materials from public domain sources, and put it up on the sign towers one morning.

    If I recall, the Department of Transportation didn't realize it wasn't
    theirs until they took it down and saw his signature on the back.

    I can see that. I guess we're so used to "Next Exit" signs it really doesn't phase us much. In some of the larger cities, they'll have exits start posting about 3 miles from the actual exit, and then every mile after that. In more rural areas, and smaller cities, there's usually
    one, maybe 2 signs before the actual exit.

    I know on MoPac in Austin the exits were posted around every quarter to half mile. IH-35 it's about every 3/4 to 1/2 mile.

    Here either. We can get some pretty bad sand storms. I was driving back from Lubbock once, and hit a dust storm. No one was moving, and the
    winds had to be in excess of 60+MPH. I watched a rig get blown over sitting still on the road, because no one could move. Think whiteout but with sand instead. Good thing there wasn't anyone on that side of him,
    but his truck ended up on its side in the ditch. Fun times...

    Sounds pretty scary to me. We get the occasional dust storm, although more often it's the snow storms. It's been suggested that a wind farm out here would be a pretty good idea, since it's pretty much constantly blowing, but that idea got shot down with them saying the wind blows way too hard
    sometimes and even if it didn't cause a disaster erecting the windmills, they could get a little bent (so to speak) once they're up under the right conditions.

    I'm not sure I buy that excuse for not putting up a wind farm. The winds get wicked high here, and there aren't any issues with the turbines getting bent. My guess is the local electric company didn't want them, so they told their lawmakers (whom they "donated" to) to kill the project. *shakes head*

    The hot north wind made it feel so much hotter though, and not cooling down at night didn't help either.

    This time of year I really wish our north wind was hot rather than freezing.

    Perhaps a move should be on the cards. *-)

    Here either. We can get some pretty bad sand storms. I was driving back from Lubbock once, and hit a dust storm. No one was moving, and the
    winds had to be in excess of 60+MPH. I watched a rig get blown over sitting still on the road, because no one could move. Think whiteout
    but with sand instead. Good thing there wasn't anyone on that side of
    him, but his truck ended up on its side in the ditch. Fun times...

    That's a pretty scary thing to watch. I once saw a 18 wheeler jacknife off of the upper level and down onto the lower level in Austin back in the late 80's.
    That was pretty jarring too. Thankfully it missed any cars that were down there.

    Down in Melbourne (Australia), they turned a number of freeways into tollways in the 1990s during an upgrade, which was annoying, though for some trips, especially on weekends, the toll roads to save a lot of
    time nowadays. They have also built completely new toll roads too.

    That's funny. I read a book a while back called "Jennifer Government"
    part of it took place in Australia and they'd built "Premium Highways" which had no speed limit, but were $1/mile.

    In the San Francisco Bay Area, we've had toll lanes that have been
    under construction for what seems like years. The ones that are open always have gouging rates when the traffic in the bay area is congested (read: always), like $24 for an 8 mile stretch.

    That sounds about right. I visited SFO in '99 and it wasn't so bad outside of rush hour,
    but definitely pretty packed then.

    California just expired the partial-electric vehicle HOV stickers I got
    on my Plug-in Prius in 2014. It was a good run. Now, there are many
    more electric vehicles in CA, so only full-electric vehicles get a sticker, and now they expire automatically in 4 years.

    only 4 years hmm? That must suck if you've just bought a Tesla.

    Oh, I thought those roads beside the roads was toll roads or something. They looked dirty and unused so I assumed people didn't want to to pay
    to drive on them.

    Yeah they aren't maintained as well as the freeways are, but they serve their purpose well.

    I know on MoPac in Austin the exits were posted around every quarter to half mile. IH-35 it's about every 3/4 to 1/2 mile.


    Yeah, I remember that also. That helped a lot!

    It works well except the exits near the beginning of the north toll portion of MoPac
    are rather confusing. The last free exit is actually one that goes directly into

    It's more a problem of the Republican controlled lege that doesn't want
    to raise any taxes (except for cigarette and alcohol taxes, they'll
    raise them anytime) to be able to issue bonds for such projects, but the Toll Authority created by an amendment election can issue toll-funded bonds cheaper.


    Yeah, the lege is exactly as you described. I wonder is an authority created by an election amendment, can be abolished the same way? lol!
    Kill all the tolls! ;)

    That would be nice, but even if the toll authority is abolished the bonds would

    still need to be paid. The tolls would still be there until all the bonds issued
    were paid off, then they would probably do what happened to the DFW Turnpike.

    Sounds pretty scary to me. We get the occasional dust storm, although more often it's the snow storms. It's been suggested that a wind farm
    out here would be a pretty good idea, since it's pretty much constantly blowing, but that idea got shot down with them saying the wind blows way too hard sometimes and even if it didn't cause a disaster erecting the windmills, they could get a little bent (so to speak) once they're up under the right conditions.


    I'm not sure I buy that excuse for not putting up a wind farm. The
    winds get wicked high here, and there aren't any issues with the
    turbines getting bent. My guess is the local electric company didn't
    want them, so they told their lawmakers (whom they "donated" to) to
    kill the project. *shakes head*

    The city probably doesn't want them either because cheap electricity would
    make the citizens question why the electric rates are so high here.

    Those were busy times. The first internet bubble went from '98 to summer of 2001, showed some signs of life, then 9/11 happened. The city was crazy back then, in some circles, probably 2/3s of the people you ran into in SOMA (the area south of market street, cheap real estate and lots of tech) were from out of town.

    When the money left, they did to. It was real quiet in the mid 2000s.

    only 4 years hmm? That must suck if you've just bought a Tesla.

    Well, the idea is that you lease a Tesla - they've made it clear they're not going to back port software updates. Lease a new Tesla, get the new software and a new sticker.

    It's really fun to see that some things come back! The first time I did this
    I did it for the users. This time its for ME!

    I sent you a request for node number. If you didnt get it please let me know and I'll resend. I have been scurrying to put together domains, email,
    linux, and the bbs. Framework should now be stable <fingers crossed>. The
    fun will begin next week when I start on customization.

    This is gonna make a great retirement project!!!!

    Yes, it is the third. We started the original on Spitfire in 92 then moved to Indiana in 94 where we setup 'The ROCK Too' and went multi-node. Robert Riddell of 'Leisure Time BBS' signed on as my Co shortly after startup. We were heavily involved in FIDONet and ElkhartNet back then. Ran doors, adult echoes and filebases. We were no 'Rusty & Edie's' but we had our fun and made alot of friends!

    The New Mexico scene was great! We had more than a dozen local boards and a terrific Sysop Group! I did plenty of programming back then and was heavily involved in the Darkstar BBS project. Unfortunately, the Internet won over before it could make much of an impact.

    I thought the BBS scene had died until Bob introduced me to Mystic only recently. Seems time just made some things better!

    I'm looking forward to getting setup and sharing!

    Just my $0.02.

    Avon's videos are great. Stumbled upon them and that's what triggered me
    to put up a system again...

    I have a few friends who used to run BBS' that I'm thinking of contacting to see if they want to spin one up also. :)

    Here's hoping that Avon comes up with some new ideas and makes some more videos. ;)

    Avon's videos are great. Stumbled upon them and that's what triggered me to put up a system again...

    Here, here!

    I also think it'd be cool if someone (maybe...me? :P ) did some sort of BBS blog similar to other tech hobbies I follow. That could instigate people to
    do some cool BBS related stuff. I've been considering doing something for a while, maybe I should just set aside some time and get some content out there and see what folks think.

    That might be cool, but getting an audience that isn't already bbs people
    might be tricky.

    Hello lu9dce =) Nice to see you in here.

    How's the weather in Argentina today? Here in the UK, it's raining, about 13-15 celcius so not cold.

    Happy Friday to you and everyone else.

    And you are in good hands. Back in the early nineties, I had to learn about compiling nodelists and tossers and mailers and figure out how to put all of them together all by myself.

    Getting it right took litterally months - at least until I actually
    understood what it was that I have eventually done right to get it to work lolz.

    Paul really does an excellent job. Truly.

    You're right, I've never heard of KBBS, but I do believe that I sort of
    recall a BBS *called* kbbs, back in the 90's.

    But then again, that could also be the call sign of a radio station west of

    Clearly I'm on a clock for getting a "real" node number, then. But hi!

    Getting it right took litterally months - at least until I actually understood what it was that I have eventually done right to get it to
    work lolz.

    Yeah, that seems about right for the 90s, and/or experimental BBS software. It's also weirdly long ago that I don't really have a strong idea on how I figured out answers to technical problems.

    I mean, I was the only one in my area that ran KBBS, and yet somehow I had
    the software, got it setup, had a variety of unique-to-my-BBS things (though some of it was done through batch files or things that would've been non-KBBS-specific knowledge), and I even had a nice long written interview
    with the software author (school project).

    These days, I'd assume "somewhere on the internet" as the answer for most things.

    You're right, I've never heard of KBBS, but I do believe that I sort of recall a BBS *called* kbbs, back in the 90's.

    Yeah, I think they're unrelated. And searching for KBBS on the internet is
    not a helpful task. It's also interesting because it was made by Anderson Research Inc (so ARI, and they had ARINet), and that's a highly generic name, thus making it harder to find anything of use.

    But, anyway, KBBS was pretty new back in 1994 or so, so it didn't have a long time to grow before the internet basically destroyed everything. Especially
    as a commercial BBS package (even if it was an inexpensive commercial BBS package).

    But then again, that could also be the call sign of a radio station west of the Mississippi, huh?

    "KBBS is a commercial radio station licensed to Buffalo, Wyoming. The station carries a classic country format."

    I hope the person who decided on that call sign was/is a BBSing fan.

    Ah, okay, so basically just setting up a login password. I'm not sure exactly what I was thinking, but that wasn't it.

    There are 4 passwords in a standard fido setup.

    Mailer / binkp: this is a shared secret between two nodes for authorization. It
    prevents that someone else is polling your mail from your host. This password has no lenght limitation.

    Packet password: it's used in the header of the *.pkt (netmail and echomail) files that are transmitted. This password is limited to 8 characters. It's also
    possible to use no packet password at all.

    Areafix/Filefix: this password is needed to subscribe and unsubscribe from echomail and file areas. You send a netmail with your password and some text commands to the Areafix or Filefix address. On some systems You can choose different passwords for Areafix and Filefix, but it's easier to have the same for both.

    It's possible to choose the same passwords for all components or you can have one for the binkp connection, another one for hte message packets, and one or two for Areafix/Filefix.

    If you decide to only use one password it should be 8 characters long.

    Let's just pause for a moment to consider that it's 2019 and we're in a place where we *need* to worry about new node applications clobbering each other because a new node is coming in before the old new node is set up.

    Nice! Now I'm trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing for "Areafix/Filefix/BinkP Password" so I can get my own node number. I'm assuming there's a document or video somewhere that explains it.

    Yep, you'll need your own node number.. :)

    http://bbs.nz/fsxnet.zip has the info you need. The application is at the bottom of FSXNET.TXT.

    There are 4 passwords in a standard fido setup.

    Interesting. Thanks for the info. I've saved off a copy of the message so I
    can look back on it when it next comes up. :)

    But makes sense on all of it. I've submitted my application to join FSXNet,
    and Avon sent it along to Solaris.

    Looks like you may already be there ;) And I'm certain Paul is or has
    been following you here, so shoot him a note saying you're ready, and

    Yeah -- as I said in another message, he's seen my application and sent it along. So hopefully not too long until I'm sending out another test message.

    If you're sending these messages I presume you've already seen the
    videos on setting up your EchoMail and the default pwd for 21:100/999 :)

    To be fair, for much of the videos I was mostly just scrambling to follow along, and occasionally digesting what he was saying. I may have to watch
    them again in order to make sure I get all the changes I need to.

    I probably won't, mind you, but I generally don't want to watch instructional videos more than I have to, even if they were super helpful ones. :)

    And you are in good hands. Back in the early nineties, I had to learn about compiling nodelists and tossers and mailers and figure out how to put all of them together all by myself.

    Yeah, times sure have changed. The software is more sysop friendly - both Mystic and Synchronet are far easier than my old RA/Fmail(or Fastecho)/Binkley system were to configure. The latter took me weeks to get properly up and running, and ready for Fidonet. Synchronet took only a day or two, IIRC, Mystic just a couple of hours tops. And in all cases, I did it by myself, with only what resources I had from the packages - Wikis and echomail (e.g. DOVE for SBBS, and by the time I started playing with Mystic, I already had access to Fidonet and FSX on SBBS).

    Getting it right took litterally months - at least until I actually understood what it was that I have eventually done right to get it to
    work lolz.

    Yep. That attempt in both of our cases, required the learning from scratch of BBS and FTN concepts. My return to BBSing didn't, I quickly recalled my prior FTN experience the second time around, even though it was nearly 2 decades later. :)

    Paul really does an excellent job. Truly.

    I'm yet to watch any (sorry Paul, video just isn't my medium for detailed learning).

    And hello everyone. Still early stages for me playing with Mystic BBS,
    as I come from a BBS software no one has heard of (KBBS) and would have tons of graphics and whatnot to port over. I only recently poked a hole
    in the outermost router for telnet connections.

    That stuff was not very user friendly, but flexible. A patchwork of different configuration files and batch files. Most software were supporting JAM and/or Squish message bases and you could replace every component with another (in theory), but it was not really plug and play. I've installed that old-style software again (tried squish, hpt, crashmail, ...) and I'm not sure I would have mannged it without the previous experience from the 90s (I forgot a lot of
    stuff, but it comes back). I still prefer the modularity. The only thing that frustrates me are the message editors (golded, msged, timed). They are made for
    DOS, not for a contemporary Unix terminal.

    Synchronet took only a day or two, IIRC, Mystic just a couple of hours tops.

    Back in the 90s there was also Lora BBS, which also had everything included (Mailer, Tosser, BBS, ...).
    https://gitlab.com/fidosoft/lora3 http://software.bbsdocumentary.com/IBM/WINDOWS/LORABBS/

    Maybe the all-in-one packages were all a little late, the Internet and the World Wide Web seemed much more interesting than BBSing. And it takes a lot of effort to programm a software that includes everything you need for a BBS and ftn node and get it right (decades?).

    I'm not sure that the Mystic monoculture that seems to develop is a good thing.
    Especially as it is closed source software with a bus factor of 1. BBS software has been abandoned more often than not.

    Videos are useful for an overview, but that assumes I have the time to slow down to the video's speed to get that. :)

    Fantastic! I'm slowly working on getting a TG/2 system setup under OS/2.
    Never realized getting the system exactly how I want was going to drive me
    this crazy...but it will be something I'm proud of & want others to use for a nice retro system.

    Tried to set up Mystic on a Zero with a 20 GB SATA drive I used to have in my 360 before I put a 500 GB on it. Not a Linux guru...so ended up having more issues with connecting & such that eventually I went back to Windows.
    Now...am trying to get OS/2 set up with TG/2 or Lora...if I can get all the bugs worked out.

    Good luck!! I wouldn't say I'm a Linux guru either, just happened to have a spare RPI lying around! Its going OK so far, although I have some issues getting some echomail as I never got this one into the BBS, have applied for
    a node number so will see if it improves after I set that up!

    Avon has assigned one, and you have negotiated the connection details etc., things should hopefully be working as intended. :)

    Are you still running as 21:1/999? If so you may miss messages if someone
    else is also starting up and collecting mail as 21:1/999.

    That won't happen when you get your own node number.

    Check out the info pack and apply if you haven't already.

    People have been commenting on that (though it hasn't seemed like traffic in the bot channel has decreased, so I think it might just be slow), but in ayster's case, it's more likely because the BBS is on 21:1/999, and some
    other just-getting-connected-to-the-network BBS claimed the missing messages.

    Tried to set up Mystic on a Zero with a 20 GB SATA drive I used to ha in my 360 before I put a 500 GB on it. Not a Linux guru...so ended up having more issues with connecting & such that eventually I went back
    Good luck!! I wouldn't say I'm a Linux guru either, just happened to
    have a spare RPI lying around! Its going OK so far, although I have
    some issues getting some echomail as I never got this one into the BBS, have applied for a node number so will see if it improves after I set
    that up!

    It will improve...but will take a lot of work. Do have to say that the system ran faster than under my netbook...even with the Zero having lower resources.

    On any issues...just ask around here & in other nets. People in fsx & some of the other nets are more than happy to help.

    There is something weird going on. I've noticed a serious drop in messages, and now makes me wonder if the network has been segmented somehow...

    So I'm not sure that it has - a good way to gauge is to look at my Hub 3 Queue bot post in the FSX_BOT. If you see Hub 3 with queued mail to another hub 21:x/100 - that's a good indicator that another Hub is down.

    That said, I've seen it a few times where a Mystic hub receives mail fine, but just doesnt process it ...

    That said, I've seen it a few times where a Mystic hub receives mail fine, but just doesnt process it ...

    Ponder, I have a similar issue at times. Its not safe to actually process ìmail unless all nodes are offline. I had to do some semphore jiggery pokery ìin the FD bat to ensure it'd only run if things were quiet. Now for some ìreason, it will quite often sit on received mail until daily maintenance even ìif the all nodes quiet condition is met. Tre's strange. If mystic is running ìmultiple nodes perhaps its got a similar outlook on its message base...

    Heavily customized Mystic to resemble the old board which ran between '92 and '97.

    Got the bbs fever thanks to The Godfather and the coding fever from Xqtr. Working on two great projects now, an filebase viewer/switcher and msgbase viewer/switcher. See them in action on the board!

    Catch you in-mail ;)

    Running Mystic on an Synology ds1621xs+ with an custom docker image.

    That's a nice way to do it, I think!

    (Still running off an Intel NUC here, but using a Synology NAS for storage...)

    Welcome to the madhouse.
    Ty!

    What exactly is docker?
    Docker is an VM enviroment in which you can run Docker images.

    The beauty is that SSL and reverse proxy is handled by the server running Docker-- So you dont have to worry about those in the various images.

    For example I'm running these all in SSL:

    - SabNZB
    - Transmission
    - Bitwarden
    - Mystic
    - Calibre-web

    All in their own Docker image.

    However it appears that your echomail address is not correct (the Origin: line shows 0:0/0 whereas it should show 21:1/999 I think).

    Have you added 21:1/999 as your echomail address in Networking --> Echomail Addresses, and is the message base in Editors --> Message Base Editor set to Type: Networked and have the Net Address 21:1/999 selected?

    Just re-set up a BBS about 4 days ago. Was watching the "Back to BBS" youtube documentary series and got my nostalgia going. I used to run a board back in the 90s.

    What Raspberry Pi are you using B, B+, 3, 4?

    Just re-set up a BBS about 4 days ago. Was watching the "Back to BBS" youtube documentary series and got my nostalgia going. I used to run a board back in the 90s.

    Good luck, and welcome! Many helpful peeps here!


    Thank you for the Welcome,
    My Favorite part was always setting up the BBS, Lots to learn with the way they work now. I am wondering am I going to miss the noise of the Modem Answering the phone ???

    Hi Thanks for the Welcome


    No, sir! Thanks for joining us! (o_O)

    Quick Question, I noticed you are running a Pi BBS, How many Nodes are
    you able to run on the PI with Doors before you notice it having
    problems?

    Five nodes, zero doors. I am letting someone else deal with that particular problem...

    Short answer? Yes.

    I miss it too, sir. If you want that, ask YouTube.

    But this is not the same. You are about to dive into the deep end of the 'OG social network'...

    welcome back, and lovely to see you active in the BBS scene again, yo were missed. I hope things are going smoothly for you and that life i treating you kindly. Best wishes from over here in New Zealand.


    Thanks Paul, the health is going in the right direction so was glad to
    get back into the scene! Thanks for the kid words, each of you, and
    this hobby was missed also. Now back to building out my BBS's again,
    and again, and again :)

    That's the spirit. I have the same issue here with work required at Agency and all the catch-up I am doing now having been away for a few weeks.

    Nice to see you active again Godfather, take care and let me know if I can be of any help :)

    Yes, most of what I'm down to is drawing more ansi screens for the 132x37 theme side of the Underground, which I've lacked the creativity and seemed to have lost what skill I had to complete (smiles). However all mods are working, Mystic is updated to a48, all game servers and networks are working again, and my discord server has a major face lift. Of course I get back in the groove during the beginning of the slower months of BBSing, which is perfect as I have a feeling, with pricing of food, I'm going to be doing a lot of gardening this year :)

    Hi Avon.

    Yeah it took a bit to figure out why it wasn't working. That was a very curious error message I was getting but after tinkering with the settings I now know why.

    We are now just entering our fall here. We had a great summer but it didn't last long enough.

    I hope you have a good Spring, and Summer.

    Take Care Avon.

    Hello World. Do I exist?

    If you think, you do.


    A horse is in a bar, and the bartender asks the horse if he'd like another drink. The horse says, "I don't think so", and then the horse disappears.
    This is a joke about Descartes saying "I think, therefore I am", but if I were to explain that before telling the joke, I'd be putting Descartes before the horse.

    Hello fsxnet world.

    I'm Jim/spaceman and Im coming to you live from St. Louis MO, USA via midnight coffee bbs. Its a work in progress (aren't they always?) with a focus on the intersection of machine learning and security.

    I spent a large amount of time in my youth calling, hosting and working on bbs's, bbs software and participating in a number of early echo networks. I'm enjoying the push for more federated capabilites these days - and am hopeful that this format (or a derivative) will gain more of a foothold, as we (re)learn how important community is as a species. Particularly excited about the current work to get enigma connected to mastodon.

    Super glad to see both mystic and enigma under active development and am looking for ways to participate and support this and these communities at large.

    Thanks in advance for your patience as I re-familiarize myself with the tech and space.

    best,

    spcmn!

    Sounds good, you've made it to New Zealand with this post (and other places afar)

    Yes I've seen some chatter about this on Facebook but nothing posted in the Enigma 1/2 BBS echo about recent updates to the software. Hopefully Nu will keep us posted in the support echomail area also.

    Super glad to see both mystic and enigma under active development and am looking for ways to participate and support this and these communities at large.

    There's also Synchronet, Nugax is working on CyberBBS and Apam (currently on a break from BBSing (I think that's right?) has Talisman BBS that he's been working on over a number of years. There are also folks working on Renegade and other well known legacy names too.

    Thanks in advance for your patience as I re-familiarize myself with the tech and space.

    Nice to see you active and welcome :)

    Just a quick note that you're still flying the 1/999 test address so you will want to change this to your newly assigned node 21:1/162 and poll the 21:1/100 HUB using the new session password also assigned to you.

    Flick me an email avon@bbs.nz if you get stuck and we can sort you out :)

    I have not used NNTP on this BBS for some time but I have been pondering playing with Waffle BBS again (or trying to get it going) and then having a crack at UUCP again... but at the moment have not started on that track..

    Kinda need to pace myself and do 1-2 things at a time not 6-9

    Is this still a thing? I never joined or played it, maybe it's time to catch up. I remember the times when every big company had to create a presence in Second Life, because it seemed to be the next big thing. And the whole architecture behind it sounded very interesting and open.

    Today the kids play Minecraft or Roblox and nobody is interested in the Meta-whatever.

    This is in Talisman, right? The NNTP server is directly reading from the Squish base?

    :-D

    I actually have a Courier hooked up to my VoIP line, just because VoIP is included in my broadband subscription anyway.

    I could never afford a Courier back in the days (and there were plenty of alternatives which were good enough), but when I was thinking of putting something together in recent years, I thought I would finally get one. =)

    I used to use Second Life quite a bit for a few years after I heard about it in 2006. I haven't really played it in years though. I'd heard it's not as busy as it used to be though.

    I don't really remember big companis having a presence there. But soon after I started using it, I remember finding an aerospace museum someone had built in Second Life, with models of various rockets that had been used to go into space, and almost every Sunday, they had someone from the aerospace industry come to give presentations in there.

    ah well... I liked it before.. nowadays, it's been several months I don't login there. it's just... the ones I knew never logged in again and all spaces are empty, mane of the places I liked to visit are gone, and the games loves to change adddress of stuff (dunno why).
    all of that makes me even less interested to login there. But it was fun to "walk" and know new places.

    I used to use Second Life quite a bit for a few years after I heard
    about it in 2006. I haven't really played it in years though. I'd
    heard it's not as busy as it used to be though.

    I heard about it on the US version of The Office. :)


    ... Goodness! That was close! I almost gave a damn.

    I had been using Second Life before it appeared on The Office.

    Been busy in Second Life, having fun making virtual cars (amoungst other things).

    Is this still a thing? I never joined or played it, maybe it's time to catch up. I remember the times when every big company had to create a presence in Second Life, because it seemed to be the next big thing.
    And the whole architecture behind it sounded very interesting and open.

    I always think that it was before its time. I remember Sony Pictures
    having a presence on SL and having a movie premiere. You had to queue in
    SL and give a virtual attendant your "ticket". Seemed like trying to map
    the real world into a virtual world instead of creating a new experience impossible in the physical world.

    Last time I tried it was on a Pentium 166 on a DSL line. I should try it
    now with a contemporary desktop and fast internet.

    hi there and welcome.

    I came back to the scene around 2012 so now having been back some 10+ years I'm feeling older than Jesus. I hope you have fun with BBSing, it's not as it was in the 90s with lots of users calling in, it's really sysops having fun tinkering with their systems and doing stuff that is of interest to them.

    Some dive into ANSI art, others mods, I'm more into messaging and chatting in echomail / help keep a BBS community alive and well .. and so it goes.

    Yep there are some users who will call your system, and other sysops... my advice is do whatever you do in the hobby for your own enjoyment first and foremost.... don't worry / feel down if few connect in/call etc..

    It's certainly a global community albeit not as large as it was in the 90's, the folk here are supportive and will help you out with any questions , chew the fat etc.

    The fact that we're not in dial up days now also means a lot of chat can be quite quick at times, with the conversation advancing over the space of a day vs days.

    Anywhoo... welcome to fsxNet and back into the BBS scene, I hope you have fun.

    Best, Paul aka Avon

    Hello All.

    Few days ago I got a crazy idea to run a BBS.
    From one thing to another, here I am writing messages to unknown people. :-) Good, old days…

    Besides working on my BBS, I'm working on few more things in my spare time:
    - 8-bit microcomputer: http://x65.zone/
    - An Operating System: http://github.com/D-os/

    Your projects are interesting, I've seen several homebrew CP/M machines
    recently, it's interesting to see what a minimal system would look
    like.

    I've always liked MINIX v.2, you can have a *nix-like OS running on
    (practically) on a 286 on up.
