 I'm posting this for a friend of mine who no longer has net access. He
would like to know how to configure his "16.8 USR DS modem" for "Remote
Access Ver. 1.11". He is currently running a "X00" as his fossil driver.
 And, he would like some input concerning the modem string initialization as
well as the modem settings. Hopefully, he will have his BBS up and running in
no time. Since, it did work before with his old 2400 baud modem. Thanks in
advance.

  I assume you mean you want your machine to participate as a USENET 
node.

  Read comp.bbs.waffle.  Waffle is a widely used, inexpensive package
that implements for MS-DOS machines uucp (uucico, uux, etc.), and user
interfaces for news and mail, as well as other, more common BBS
features.  The Unix version relies on the underlying Unix to implement
news transport, but looks identical to the MS-DOS version from the
user's perspective.
       
  You really should complain to your news administrator that your
default return address (ali@utrcv1) isn't valid.  (I'm assuming, based 
on experience, that "ali@utrcv1" wouldn't work.)  In the meantime you
should include a Reply-To: header.

I would recommend running Waffle as a door, rather than gating things 
using UFGate.

I run Waffle as my primary BBS software and my users have no complaints.  
If you gate newsgroups, you tend to lose some of the information 
contained in the headers of the news messages.

	And email...and file transfers using uucp.  Telnet/FTP are

and that wouldn't make the two+ sites talking to each other SLIP

Dear all,
after having recently obtained a 9600 modem
for my 386-Tower, as well as CrossTalk,
I was wondering if anyone could help me out
with regards to UK BBS's.
Also, if possible, could someone let me know
which one has the greatest number of usergroups
on - one I am specifically after is the ALT. groups.

I understand that there is a list of UNIX sites
on ALT.BBS.LISTS which I believe is called NIXPUB??
Could someone send a copy of that to me??

If you could e-mail me with your responses, I would
be most grateful.

Yours,
Eddie Chandler.

There are at least 6 or 7 bbs programs for the Mac.  I recently researched 
this for a user.  Whiv and RA both have Mac versions (check at their
support BBS's), but the user wanted - easy to customize...quick set up...
and didn't care about net access or doors.  (so I didn't check on that.)

I ftp'd MUBBS for him. (use archie to find out where it's available) He had 
his new board 'Starbase 13' up and running in a day or two.

 Since, I haven't receive any reply so far concerning this post. Here is
 the fossil setup within his comport, which is set for 3.

DEVICE=c:\util\qemm\loadhi.sys /r:2 C:X00.SYS 3 dv b,2,38400 t=2048 r=2048
DEVICE=C:\UTIL\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:1 C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS

  My question is. Is this the correct setup for the fossil driver for my
 friend system. Since, he still want to retain Com1 for mouse and Com2 for
 internal modem. This left Com3 taking the external USR DS 16.8 modem.
  If you can help in this matter in getting the correct setup for the
 fossil driver as well as initialization string. My friend and I will
 greatly appreciate it. Since, this is going to be use with "Remote Access".
  Thanks in advance.

I wanted to know if anyone is running is running Waffle under Lantastic
_and_ is using a high speed modem?  I tried this configuration once
before and had problems with losing characters during modem transfer.
Of course I didn't have a 16550 then...now I do.

So will Waffle work with Lantastic and a V32bis modem and still allow
you to do other things concurrently (i.e. access the Waffle disk from another
node in the network).  Also: is anyone running Lancache in this configuration?
and, has anyone managed to get Desqview working on a Lantastic node?

The last post was on 25th of September. It will be posted to

Just sent a mail to 'mail-server@giraffe.in-berlin.de'. The mail should

Depends on what modems you're going to be talking to. If you will only be
talking to 2400s, it would be  a waste to get a 14,400. If you're not
going to be transferring much (no more than a couple hundred K per day),
a 2400 is fine. But if you'll be talking to a high-speed modem, and will
be transferring more than 100-200K daily, you'd have much better results
with a 14,400. Don't bother with a 9600, you can generally get a 14,400
about as cheap these days and it makes a BIG difference. Also, if you go
with a 14,400, get a v.32bis modem, (Boca and Twincom can be found for
around $250 internal/$300 external, Boca carries a 5-year warranty, and
both include fax. You can also get a Supra for about the same price, but
there seem to be some serious ROM bugs in the Supra). Also, make sure
that you'll be talking to a v.32 or v.32bis if you go that route, as a
Telebit or HST (except for dual standard models) will only talk to a
v.32bis at 2400bps. If you're going to be communicating with a Telebit,
you may consider getting a Telebit, but they do tend to be fairly
expensive compared with the aforementioned v.32bis brands. Also, stay
away from HSTs (unless you get a dual standard) as they don't work very
well with UUCP, which is used to move mail and news for Waffle.

Keep in mind that with a 2400, it will take around 7-8 minutes to
transfer 100K (with ZMODEM. With UUCP, it'll take even longer). With
v.32bis/v.42bis (v.42bis being an error correction and compression
scheme, v.32bis being a 14,400bps standard), it takes just over a minute
to transfer 100K, or a little over 10 minutes to transfer a meg.

As far as your machine goes, it should be fine for running Waffle. I
currently run on a 386SX-25 with 2 megs of RAM and a 40 meg HD, and I
previously ran on an 8 MHZ 8088 w/640K and 20 meg HD, and it ran fine on
both machines, though I never tried the high-speed modem on the XT.

'DIVIDE ERRORS'.  Then, when I COLD BOOT (I can't use my faithful
CTRL-ALT-DEL) I need to re-enter the date and time.  This has
happened about 5 times ALL at different occations (Polling, Reading
Mail, Waiting For a Caller, Etc..).  I am running Waffle 1.65 with
MS-DOS and I'm using HIMEM.SYS with EMM386 (If that has ANYTHING to
do with it?).  What can I do? (besides del Waffle 1.65 and use 1.64?)

  I just found a bug in UUCICO. My remote host was 'unable to create work
file.' Waffle didn't do anything to the .DAT and .XQT files, but still
deleted the .CMD file!! I have to manually create these now so that this
'lost' mail will get out.
