Looking to get ahold of a registered version of NetModem/32. Since the author is no longer available was wondering if anyone would be willing to part with their version. I am willing to pay for it as well if need be.

I can be contacted at:

Thanks....

Have you looked at COM/IP? Costs a few $$ but a much better product than netmodem.

or telnet to the bbs at: realmofshadows.thebbs.org

What do you use currently for telnet?

Tried Comip...speed is alot slower than netmodem...I really don't like a 30
second delay when people connect to the bbs.

Ya, I know what you're thinking Rob....been using your synchronet program
for almost a year now....it's not the program or anything that I'm unhappy with....there's still some things I can do with max that I can't do with Synchronet....one thing being the file listing for an area can be in a totally different place than the actual files...maximus files.bbs will import files from more than just one directory...eg: files.bbs for games:

d:\bbs\file\games\apogee\1RAP12.ZIP Raptor v1.2 from APOGEE d:\bbs\file\games\epic\1EPICPIN.ZIP Epic Pinball

they will all show up in the same file area......I like to keep my
directories too organized at times;) Helps for a ftp server as well;)

hint...maybe make it so you can do it that way in next version...;)

you've done a great job..I even learned quite a bit....but I still do
like Maximus better...sorry..was what I first ran...

Probably won't change bbs programs...yours does have too much that none
others have to offer, but I like to have the option to play around with
other programs if I can.....

You can already do this with Synchroent using alternate file paths.

???? The only time I had problems with COM/IP was with Win98 using the built in
fossil; once I put WinFossil in it's place it zoomed. COM/IP and WinXP just live together perfectly using the internal fossil!

Right now..Synchronet...but I want to go back to Maximus...I can do so

Another option is NetFoss. I've been beta testing it and it's improved dramaticly; the only current limitation is it does not support binary transfers
but that should be implemented in the next major release. If you want to use the DOS based BBS you'll need a TCP/IP front end like Argus or Manning TelServ (even synchronet may work) for the intitial "pick up"... Best part, all mentioned is free. www.netfoss.com

Got a couple of other suggestions to try as well though....and like I said before....Synchronet seems to be what I will stick with...after all...I
really had to put a bit of time into it already just to get all of my
message areas into it.....it's not so easy as to copy and paste in a dos
editor and make the few changes after;) And the author seems to be quite
easy to get ahold of...;)

While Opus 1.73a had that same feature, I really never used
t. But I did love this one NODEDIFF.??? FidoNet nodediff files
what meant everytime there was a NODEDIFF.??? such as NODEDIFF.340
NODEDIFF.ARC or NODEDIFF.A40. they all would be added to the filebase
with the same description.

Now that Maximus is Open source you could port it to Linux.
Then you got your TCP/IP stack and firing up Maximus would be easier.
One way is as follows:
/usr/sbin/telnetd -L /usr/sbin/maxbbs

your maxbbs batch file would like like this (its only a skeleton. you
fill in the blanks)

#!/bin/sh
# run maximus as a task thats not being used.
# find unused node
# its only an example. you would have to figure where to state the
#node number yourself.
#/usr/bin/max -p /etc/fido/bbs.prm

PC Micro is a reseller of Com/IP; but Mike actually developed NetFoss.

I did a test yesterday using Mann TelServ and netfossil and had a node of ProBoard online in a few minutes... If you have Win2K/XP those two freewares are all you need.

NetFoss is the fossil; no other fossil driver can be used or is needed.

COM/IP and netfoss are not made by the same person. The author of netfoss just so happens to be a COM/IP reseller, that's all.

Well that's good to hear. There will be a new file database format in v3.20 that should make many things much easier (including long filenames, file in different physical dirs, etc).

If you could get Linux to install on a machine you could use MBSE. Good complete package - you don't need to know a thing about linux to set it up
and run it :-)

have you turned off all the caching in the BIOS before attempting to install OS/2? if not, try that... also, what version of OS/2? maybe we should move this
to the OS/2 echo?

Tried it...both L2 caches...and the bios cache....system froze on boot with
the bios cache disable..so I re-enabled it....still no luck. Install freezes
at the OS/2 splashscreen.

Trying to install Warp 4. Might be a number of problems I figure....I even
got the updated installation disks..so my big drives should be supported...
but no go. Probably has everything to do with my system. Got an almost new mboard.

I'm not presently getting the OS/2 echo..maybe I should get it....might be
more people able to help me;)
