Hi all...

Anyone here have success in running BBBS on a OS/2 VM? When I poll from Mystic I just get "Trying to handshake". What might I do to get a connection? I see that it connects to 38400 baud, however, is there a way to connect at 1200 baud (I know...), perhaps that would make things work.

What mthod are you trying to use to poll with? Having details on what commands
you are using to poll would be greatly helpful :) Personally, I used to use Internet Rex with BBBS/2 to transfer mail packets and file without any issues.

I got it to poll finally by doing a little tinkering. I am thinking of running Telegard/2 in replacement since I already run BBBS for Win32. You know, a little more variety, spice of life. I will have to take a look at IREX. What mailer do you use with Telegard/2? I was looking for Telegard earlier, wasn't sure if I wanted to run it on my Win32 machine or in an OS/2 VM. One thing I like about VM I like is that it's easier (with time) to make a backup of the whole OS (including all the files). I've been using VirtualBox for awhile now and love it. I didn't make any changes to BBBS as far as AT commands, just the default. Yet, it still works. I'm using Virtual Modem (which I'm considering registering) for more than 2 nodes. My question is how might I use othernets besides Fidonet (Z1). I use the

[ftndomains]
^[1-6]: fidonet
^316: whispnet
^10: league10

Yet, it still reads as one zone when connecting to BinkD. That doesn't work for me like the Win32/Linux build does. I'll see if Kim has an OS/2 update.

Anyway, BBBS/2 and BinkD (Linux build) work pretty good together for me.

Thanks for the response.

Yes. Are you trying to to mailer-to-mailer transfers over Telnet? That is how
I do it here between my BBBS/2 system and my mailer system running FrontDoor/2
2.32.mL which is running on top of VMODEM. No VModem on the BBBS/2 side though
:)
