    From Robert Huff@1:275/507 to All on Fri Dec 6 14:43:37 2002
    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:

    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?

    Right now..Synchronet...but I want to go back to Maximus...I can do so much
    more with it cause I know it alot better..used to use it in the dial-up

    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.....

    ???? The only time I had problems with COM/IP was with Win98 using the built in

    What do you use currently for telnet?

    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

    and no support anymore...don't think I like that too much.....

    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.

    Robert

    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.

    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
