Thanks for the responses I got on telneting to the National Bureau of
Time Standards in Colorado.
 
I actually found the answer I was looking for in another newsgroup 
moments after leaving my first query in here.
 
For those that are interested, you can telnet to the NBST in Colorado
Springs as follows:
 
TELNET INDIA.COLORADO.EDU /PORT=13
 
It will connect, give you the correct time, and summarily drop connection.
Whatd'a expect! <grin> 

Thanks again for the questions and answers.

Does any one know how to chat on internet? What I mean is if
one person knows a friend who is online at that moment, is there
a way to send a message to that person and have him receive it
right away? Is there a way for one to find out if a friend is
really online or not? Is there a way of doing this sort of direct
communication via internet?

Thanks.

I'm looking for 2 chat system programs. One is an APPLE IIE/C based 
program called Diversi-Dial and was written by a guy named Bill Bashem 
out of Michigan. It is a small system actually all it has is e-mail and 
chat and 10 system bullitins. I am looking for any information I can get 
on it. Phone numbers of systems, people who might have one they dont want 
anymore, information on the author, etc....

The second one is called Synergy and I have no information at all about 
it except for the fact that it is a DOS based program and is supposed to 
be similar to a Diversi-Dial but may have message bases and a few more 
features than a D-dial. Any information such as author, phone numbers, di
stribution, etc would be greatly apreciated. I am looking for 408,415,510 
phone numbers in particular but any numbers will do. Thanks...

I think the best thing you can do for yourself is *CAREFULLY* limit
who has access to what on your BBS.  For example, I live in a small
town NW of Boston.  You may have read about the high school principal
who placed hidden cameras in the boys room ??  Well, that was us.
Some of the GIFs I have on-line would most likely curl the locals'
hair.  I don't need grief from the neighbors so I limit access to the
Adult areas of the BBS to callers out side my local area who can prove
their age (via a license photocopy).  So far it has worked out well.
The folks who do call in from the area see nothing that would suggest
there's anything they might find offensive.

The last complaint I received was from a woman whose 14 year old son
lied about his age to get access.  That was before I moved to my
present location and is the reason I started requiring photo id.
Since then, not a peep from anyone.  On the other hand, I'm not naive
enough to think that nothing COULD happen.  Just a few weeks ago a
nearby system was raided by the FBI for carrying pirated software.
The feds will NEVER learn so caution about what goes on your system
and who has access is the best defense.
> 
> What has the experience been like overall?  Difficult...?

Not really.  There are a few callers who grouse about restrictions but
for the most part the experience has been pretty good.  There are the
callers who call just to grab as much free stuff as they can but
there's lots of callers who are willing to share their stuff too.
I've had many conversations with pleasant folks who appreciate all the
work that goes into maintaining the BBS.  Call sometime and look
around (the number is in my .sig), see what you think.

Yeah.. it likes it.  Since it (primarily) uses files to share info and uses 
them in shared mode, each machine can be running it's own node/line(s) for 
the 
same BBS.  The machines can also run it in 'local' mode, in essence providing
 
an e-mail system for the net.

NOT SYSOP FRIENDLY???  WWIV is one of the easiest BBS packages available. 
That's why it's said that any WWIV is a kiddy board.  It's simple to use and
easy to mod.

Robert -=- First of all, it should be noted that all the software mentioned are
run on DOS.  Waffle can be run on Unix as well, but it costs about $120 for
Unix.

Psycho -=- I don't know why you say that WWIV is old style.  I personally like
WWIV better, which is why I run my board with it.  I don't find that it is not
SysOp Friendly.

I've been on WWIV, Telegard (a WWIV hack), Forum, RBBS, Tag, Opus, Wildcat,
LSD, PBX, Oracomm, PCBoard, and Waffle.  I like WWIV the best.

The only think wrong with WWIV is that it can't connect to Internet or Usenet. 
But, it has its own 1300-node net, WWIVnet, a 300 node net, WWIVLink, and an 
up-and-coming net which I am currently in, IceNet, which has 175 nodes. 
The next version, 4.21a, will have Multinet capability already installed,
meaning that you can be in both WWIVnet and IceNet at the same time. 

Of course I'm partial to WWIV, but I still like it the best.

*grin* I must be fortunate, too. I've been helping people set up Fido nodes
with FD for about 4 years, and I've never had a problem...it seems easy as
pie to me. (Of course with 4 years experience I can set up a brand new node
in about 10 minutes.) Even when I did it for the first time, it wasn't too
hard -- just make sure you read the doc's from beginning to end first, just
to see all the nifty things it does. All there really is to setting it up
is unzipping (unarjing, unlarking, unpaking, etc) and setting up the paths.
Everything else has a default that works for most systems.

Not that I ever use defaults... :)

        There is a good probably that the problem is that you are not using
flow control.  ENABLE CTS/RTS handshaking on both Telix and your modem and
try again.  Your '386 can probably handle incoming data at whatever rate
the modem receives it at but if you are sending from the '386 continuously
at 57.6kbps and the modem link is only achieving 1700 cps you will overrun
the mode buffer and data will be lost before it is sent because the
computer doesn't stop sending when the modem buffer fills.  ZModem catches
the missing data and resending missing data.  All of this resending reduces
your throughput (obviously :-).

Organization: Wind River Systems, Inc.

Can anyone suggest where I can ftp some BBS software for a PC from? Or offer
any recommendations of what software to use? 

My RBBS crashed and the original distribution software isn't here or
backed up. I'm considering PCBoard now or WWIV, but WWIV's menu commands
don't seem as inuitive to me. 

If no one can recommend any ftp sites, can you tell me a BBS in the US I
can dial up to to download some without access/download restrictions that
will complicate this for me? I've got a time critical need to get my work
BBS running again and will try anything and buy anything we need to.   

Email replies preffered since I don't read here regularly - I'll post a 
summary if anyone cares. 

Thanks.

Go back and read my post.  I didn't confuse the two.  After I got done
pointing out what I knew about Telegard, I proceeded to TAG, the next
logical step for people who don't want to run WWIV but also don't want
to run Telegard.  I wanted to point out that to my knowledge, of the three,
WWIV is the most secure.

And I'll re-iterate that Telegard is a hack of WWIV.  Once a hack, always
a hack.  Previous versions of Telegard were ripped off of WWIV 3.x Pascal
source.  I don't care if the author has supposedly re-written more than 75%
of the software.  I wouldn't care if the author started anew without even
looking back at the old source.  Once a hack, always a hack.

P.S. Could you go back and tell me what that "2600" is supposed to be, now?
