Telnet Port Access
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have a link to the internet which won't allow me to specify port numbers.
This causes me obvious problems because I can't use some useful services
which only run on port numbers.

Like netinfo which is on port 117... Does anyone know any public access
sites that I can connect to to get access so that I can telnet from and
specify port numbers.

Please reply via Email cause I can't read News :-(

	TBBS is a commercial BBS package for MS/DR-DOS machines.  It's primary
strength is that it is written in 100% assembly language and is arguably
the fastest BBS software on the market.  It's fairly well documented, fairly
easy to manipulate on the SysOps side, and allows for incredible amounts
of customization.

	As others will surely want to point out, it's not without it's 
limitations.  They are:

 o	Don't run DOS applications.  You can run programs or "doors"
(always hated that word) written for the TBBS dBase III runtime module
addon, but not your standard DOS "doors".

o	No realtime mail scanning/tossing.  Although the release of their
QWK module adds much, as well as the ability to transfer Fidonet packets
while the system is up, there is no way to mass import/export either
Fidonet or Usenet messages.  There is the ability to do this while the
system is down, which is what most of us do, and with another kludge
we can get Usenet feeds as well.

o	The only other limitation I can think of is Price.  If you've
never been on a TBBS system or have never run a BBS, I would say that it's
hard to justify the cost without knowing what you're getting into.  I can
only speak for myself and say that out of the many BBS packages I've either
played with (or tried to!) TBBS beats them all hands down.

	As far as running TBBS systems, I do.  You can telnet to it
at wintermute.uvm.edu although due to the problems with our local
modem network, the lines are hardwired at 2400 baud.  Look forward to
seeing ya!

Sorry, but irrespective of Larry's latest campaign against all free
BBS systems and the whole of FidoNet (yes, yet another one - he
gets very tedious sometimes. Sigh), I can't stand by and see such
a grossly incorrect statement go unchallenged.

Nothing in FidoNet, or indeed any network, is "free". Someone somewhere
pays for it.  FidoNet's technology is _extremely low cost_ as compared
with, say, InterNet - but that isn't the same thing.

And nowhere in FidoNet's policy document does it state that mail is
free. Individual sysops are free to charge each other and their
users as they see fit. FidoNet's policy actually avoids the issue
altogether, which is certainly the way it should be.  *Membership*
in fidonet is the only thing that is and should be "free" according
to its policy, but this has nothing to do with the cost and payment
for mail itself.

     Mark, I am curious as to:

	1) Why you never called the voice telephone number given at login
	   to let us know you were having difficulty connecting.

	2) Why after you did login you didn't attempt to chat the sysop,

     Sorry to say this but that is exactly where it goes.  I do feel though
I need to add that we just turned Internet services up a several weeks ago,
and are still in the process of getting it stable, and even so there has been
more than 100 new users in the last two weeks, a very large influx.  So we
are just a bit overwhelmed at the moment but will be adding additional lines
to handle the new users.  I have not posted here about Internet capability
because I really did want to get things stablized, lines in place, etc,
before we were deluged.

     It does take time to order modems and get phone lines installed, etc.

     Of coarse you'll be missing a few news groups for your additional $100
since Halcion sees it as their public duty to censor what you read.

InterNet is so friggin(pardon the expression) expensive(to an Undergraduate

or am I just in some different dimension when I read those particular news

Question #1>>  Tell me a little about yourself.  Date of birth, place of birth,
interests, name, etc.

Question #2>> Tell me about your use of BBS's.  Are you a user of them?  A
system operator?  How long have you been?  Why are you?  Why and how did you
get started?

Question #3>> Why do you think BBS's are so popular?  What can people get from
using them?

Question #4>> Describe any BBSs that you use, especially those with specific
'topics' (ie: a BBS for fish enthusiasts).  

Question #5>> Anything else you have to contribute about BBS's, sysops, etc.  
Also any special contacts you might be able to recommend I talk to.


THANKS for your input.  Quick replies would be appreciated, as I need a draft

OK, here's my situation:
I'm running RemoteAccess (great s/w!), and I have:
2 lines, both Courier Dual Standard V32bis/HST,
and they both run under desqview                   = 1 machine
Upgrading to 3 lines would mean either...
a. Netware, with Server, CDrom Server, 3 nodes     = 5 machines
b. Netware Lite, Lantastic etc, 3 peer-peer nodes  = 3 machines
c. TBBS ???                                        = 1 machine <grin>

What would I need ? Multiplexors ? I've got the 2 external DSs, and
an unlimited supply of internal 144's.... would I be able to use these
or would they have to be external + 16550 chips ?
The price ? please tell me, I know this is not a commercial newsgroup, but
news filters *very* slowly to the UK...
Useability ? Can I configure menus / screens / routes / message / file areas
as nicely as I can in RemoteAccess ?

Please, anyone with experience with BOTH RA & TBBS would be wonderful
