  • Binkley Setup help for Telnet

    From Brian J. Robinson@1:249/303 to All on Mon Oct 30 22:42:27 2006
    Hi Everyone,
    I am currently setting up a Maximus BBS called crazy town and I am
    brand spanking new to Binkley. I have not a clue how to set it up to
    work with Maximus software as well the Telnet. Can someone give me a
    hand configuring it for the first time. Would be much obliged to get
    my BBS on telnet.

    Best Wishes,
    Brian

    Hi Brian.

    I've been able to do this for years with both OS/2 and some variations of Windows. First question, what operating system are you using? We'll go from there, OK?

    This is coming to you from just such a TelNet enabled Bink/Max/Squish operation
    on IBM's OS/2. In this case this is a Fix Pack 17 box with Warp 4 using Ray Gwinn's SIO tools for the interfacing.

    I also have test versions of the whole show up on WIN-XP with the COMIP toolsets.

    Where do we start?


    Sleep well; OS/2's still awake! ;)

    If you're setting up on Windows, use NetFoss as your FOSSIL and TelSrv/GameSrv as your telnet server.

    The BinkleyTerm documentation is confusing and out of date. Much detail on how to optimise crap WaZOO/Bark protocols nobody uses anymore and writing scripts for use with "GTE Telenet PC Pursuit" (oh my god) etc.

    Bt_User.Doc contains installation notes, and Bt_Ref.Doc contains descriptions of configuration options and some deployment notes (eg. ErrorLevel vs. BBSSpawn
    methods).

    1. Copy the basic configuration file (NewUser.Cfg) to \bt\Binkley.Cfg (it should be found in the Bdoc_260.rar package

    2. Copy the basic event file (Binkley.Evt) to \bt\Binkley.Evt

    3. Modify the essential stuff in Binkley.Cfg

    4. Add "event all 00:00 b m" to Binkley.Evt

    5. Run a real comport Fossil like BNU/ADF

    6. Run Bt.exe

    For examples on how to setup a main BinkleyTerm batch file, see the reference guide.

    BinkleyTerm is an antiquated pain in the ass. You don't need BinkleyTerm for anything these days unless you're using dialup mail sessions.

    I only use BinkleyTerm for scheduling events like mail/msgarea related maintenance, and for kicks.
