  • OS/2 Version - change por

    From Dumas Walker@1:2320/105 to TOMMI KOIVULA on Mon May 4 17:01:00 2020
    How do you change the port that the OS/2 version listens on?

    listen :24555

    I ran the program with no command line options, which lists the
    options available. There does not appear to be one for changing the port.

    There are many options in the sample/default binkd.cfg file. ;)

    That one is not commented very well. That said, I figured it out shortly
    after posting that. I started binkd and noticed "listen *:24554" in the output. Stopped it, edited the cfg file, changed that line to:

    listen *:24557

    And it is now answering "calls."

    Thanks!
    Mike

    Is there an iport keyword in your config. Mine says iport binkp and if I want t
    change the inbound listening port I uncomment that line and replace binkp with
    the port I want to use, something like this..

    iport 24560

    Al,
    I think I figured out a solution. Thanks for letting me know you had a
    copy available for FREQ!
