I wrote a while back about having gotten TW2002 to run on Linux in multi-node fashion. Dosemu fails to work with this so I ventured down a rabbit hole a
few months back. I have it working soundly now on my 5 node system. I
promised to write up the instructions on how to accomplish this but I wanted
to gauge this interest. Is anyone dying to have this on their system (i have the keygen on my BBS)?

If people are interested I can put together the entirely long instructions
for this.

Hit me up!

Cheers,

would you like access the the fsxNet wiki to create a page?

Yeah, I would be interested...

I'm hoping to find some time and improve my game situation - just a matter of time...

Avon,

I sent you a netmail, with regards to this. Let me know if you don't get.

I'm definitely interested in this. TW2002 is one of the reasons my old OS/2 system still exists. Would love to have it running on my current Linux BBS.

Bit,

I'm almost done with the write-up. It's a lot more work than I expected
(making a Wiki with screenshots). Hope to have it by Friday.

Hello Joacim,

I've contemplated starting a second BBS just to be able to run TW2002.

Why a second BBS?

The latest versions (although I don't run them) of trade wars are connectable by rlogin if I remember right, so you can connect that way to a server that may
have any number of other BBSs and users connected.

Not the same as running your own door.. but a possibility.

Because my BBS runs on a Amiga 2000 computer. Hence no MS-DOS. :)

I use TWGS which runs fine in xorg on wine and accepts incoming RLogin connections (or telnet if needed) directly from your main BBS.

Ah, OK.. :)

I grabbed the file from eisonline.com for a look. It's all windows now
although it seemed to run fine for me under wine, I was able to log in
and play a round.

It looks much as I remember the DOS version. I logged in for a round on
telnet but I'm not sure it can be run as a door. I think the 3.09 version
will run as always though.

No :) My reasons for this are because it's difficult to manage and keep an
eye on incoming IPs. I run a few games that hypothetically could be
standalone door servers but prefer to keep everything locked down to my BBS.

We have a TradeWars game server running on SciNet that is accessible via
rlogin to other bbses. twgs.diskshop.ca using rlogin should get you
connected.

I am running a C-Net Amiga board, if you want to run Tradewars all you have
to do is grab GameSvr and install it on there, then RLOGIN into the GameSvr,
if you do not have RLOGIN, then just TELNET into it If you are running C-Net
it is very easy to do as I am at the moment Telnetting into my GameSvr from C-Net.. The next version of C-Net will have RLOGIN capabilities..

Running TWGS is much easier than this and will support concurrence a lot better, FYI.
