I was (under windows 98) running the old 2.60a Binkley, with a com/ip virtual port and winfossil -- all seemed to work just fine. I've got netfoss running (I believe I understand that it's the xp replacement
for com/ip) but I can't get a winfossil replacement to work.
I'm only interested in fixes for using XP, thanks. :-)

I don't use Binkley myself but I do use NetFoss and it comes with
its own fossil driver. I run PcBoard and I have NetFoss and its
telnet server configured and it works fine. I just tell PcBoard to
use COM1 and a fossil driver (instead of a serial port - COM1 COM2,
etc).
Ahh, that sounds like what I should do. Could you possibly send/tell
me the config/commandline options I need to use with netfoss? Many thanks!
I just followed the PcBoard directions that NetFoss has in its documentation. I followed them to the letter and was up and running
via telnet in 5 minutes.
The only problem I've had is with maildoors (BlueWave 4.01,
MarkMail, etc) that expect to see a COM port working (you need
NetSerial for that) but the internal QWK routines and file transfers
work fine with the fossil-only (telnet) configuration. I'm thinking
about spending the $25 for NetSerial myself to get BlueWave working
for remote callers (it only works for me locally as the sysop).

But BlueWave isn't Y2K compatible .. It don't work with Max v3.00 BBS software. I just let users use the QWK reader in Max, it is Y2K compatible.

where have you fellers been hiding? there is a y2k compliant
version of BW available... yes, both reader and door...
but, i'll give you a "better" hint on locating it, eh? ;)

i wouldn't say "stupid"... more "ignorant" which is

any problems. GoldEd+ has massive problems with the date
and I have to run a PKT fixer on it. :-)
Hmmmmm... I see your using GED+W32, I use GED3 2.5 with *no* Y2K
problems at all, on a MS-DOS 6.22 box. Must be WinDodo again. :)

Na... stupid sounds more politically correct. <grin>
well, i'm not to play that PC game... besides, the only sure
for stupidity is lead and gunpowder ;)
Or maybe your mail processor? Who knows, Scott D. updated both Max and Squish so Y2K isn't a problem. I use both Max and Squish.

It is still possible for unfixed readers to pass bad dates
through fixed doors into fixed Max/Squishbases. Squish will
I use something called "echofixd" to repair the dates on the
messages posted through BlueWave and Silver XPress doors
into Squish format areas before invoking Squish to scan the
areas.
