This is NOT an RFD. It's just an idea that I said I'd throw out.

Is there any interest in other comp.bbs.[system] groups? Should they
be created as necessary, or is a global vote on the most used systems
a good idea, which will stimulate discussion? (And perhaps help persuade
manufacturers to get on the Usenet... though from the ONE BBSCON, it
looks like persuasion isn't needed, and that's in the works anyway).

Please don't email, this is just a public question of interest. If
there's sufficient interest and no good reason not to, I'll propose
an RFD at a later date. I'm just wondering if it's a good idea (yet).

And please, don't start flaming on this. I can just hear the flames now,
which is why I'm trying very hard to be diplomatic about the wording here.

How about the files mark.com and release.com?  That marks and releases the
memory for exit to command.com.  When you exit, then it releases the memory
being held previously.  If you would like, I can drag out my batch file for
the shell command to DOS from my BBS program and give you a generic example of
how it is done.  If you need more info, just e-mail me at:

There is a mod to make 4.21 WWIV into a 4.21A WWIV, but the only way to get
a copy of the mod file is to register the software and get a copy of the mod
(as well as the new source) from Filo de Moville 1@5252 WWIVnet.  He's handling
all of Wayne Bell's new source registrations.

The ZIP file containing four or five new header files (yes, headers, including 
FCNS.H and a few new files, requiring a completely new compile) as well as a
173k DIFF file.  Enjoy.  I'd rather start from scratch.

Nah, well it depends.  If you use a software that allows you to modify the
code, then it helps.  It's really not that difficult to modify WWIV.  There are
hundreds of mods published each month by SysOps who wrote their own mods.  I've
released 5 mods, so it can't be difficult. =)

Subject: Need help with setting up Cardinal v32/v42/v42bis modem
Organization: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy NY
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 1992 17:47:52 GMT

I am in need of help.  I just recently acquired a Cardinal internal 9600
v32/42/42bis modem and installed it in my bbs machine running WWIV.  And I have
2 major problems, was wondering if someone could help me out to solve them.

1) I need a full setup on the modem so that all users can call at different
   speeds.  I am running WWIV v4.20e, with the com port opened at 19200.  I have   a setup file for it under WWIV, but I don't think that it is totally    
   correct.

2) A wierd problem - when my board goes to do a net dialout to another WWIV
   board, I am unable to connect to the board, even though the other modem
   answers and generates the right tones.  But, and here is the wierdness,
   if I load Telix and dial the board and get a connect, then log off, exit 
   Telix and reload the board - I can then connect to it doing a net dialout.
   If I reset the modem or people call in, then do a force out, I am unable 
   to connect again.  


Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated - in a major way.

I have also had the same problem.  However, not with a DALLAS Fax 14.4k modem.

When in Unattended mode, when a caller calls, ring will report on the status
window, but Binkley never answers.  After the number of rings in Binkley.CFG
has been reached, then it hangs up and goes back to waiting.  This was with
version 2.50.  WIth 2.56Beta, it is the same way.  Also, what has happened to
BTCTL.EXE in the packages?  The Beta version I understand is not complete per
the documents.  I don't see the BTCTL program.  I understand and in the past,
have used it to make the necessary files binkley needs, i.e., (MAIL.SYS).

Obviously your modem init strings has the command "V1" as Binkley is reporting
ring versus a numeric response.  What about the S0 register?  Is it set to
S0=0 to allow the software to answer vs the modem?  Yea, I know what you must
be going through, I am going the same rough road...

It does work.  I have used it, and so have many other sysops, when installing 
the FROM or 64-subs mods.  

It's simple, and it works.

Why do people budget so high for a simple BBS system?  I used to run a
popular system in my area, with a large number of messages, and the
whole thing ran great on a simple C64 with two floppy drives.  Why the
demand for huge storage requirements?  The only reason I can see it is
for downloads, and not every BBS even has a need for such things.

If I'm reading your message correctly, you want a copy of the nodelist,
so you can join Fidonet and request a node number. 

To do this, even *with* a nodelist is going to require working with
you *local* net. *They* are the folks who will be assigning your node
number. So I'd suggest that you start calling the local *Fidonet*
systems. One of them will be able to provide you with a nodelist.
They'll also be able to provide you with a copy of your net's 
Policy. 

To get a node number, you have to have read and agreed to the 
Current policies of Fidonet *and* of your local net. 

I keep emphasizing *local*, because unlike Usenet, Fidonet is 
organized *geographically*. Your net is determined by where you
are.

And I'm running a 'starting to get busy' system on a 386 with a 40 meg HD.
I'm carrying about 25 echoes (though a few are sysop only and tend to

only have about 7 meg on one partition and 2.5 meg on the second.

If you ask me, the real problem is with Master Bell himself.  Why he didn't
make 254 subs standard is way beyond me.  I'm only in one (relatively small) 
net right now, and I had to be selective to keep it under 64 subs. 

The key to a board is its local subs; I have 20 of them.  How am I supposed to
select 44 subs from two nets?  There are 4 mandatory subs I must carry, leaving 
40.  Hardly enough.

What do you call "a large number of messages?"  What do you call "a simple BBS
system?"  Actually, the real question should be, "why am I responding to this
inane query?"  Get for real, man... or did you not know that a bbs may carry
networked messages (either Usenet or otherwise)?  Do you have any real idea of
what's going on out in bbs land?  Your C64 with only two floppies might have
been great for a local, non-networked system, but hardly little else, surely.

No, you've got it backwards, the interest should drive the creation of
the groups not vice versa.  If traffic about one particular bbs system
becomes great enough to merit a new group the interested parties can
go through the normal procedure for creating a newsgroup.

This is a bad idea.

Dennis, FIDONET and USENET may be two different things.  You are most surely
right, a lot of files don't make it from FIDONET to SIMTEL and CICA.  However,
if you could be a little more specific in a file name, perhaps someone will
upload it to an archive site and make it available for FTP.  The FIDONET
Software Distribution System is found on many FTP'able sites.  For instance,
ZEUSS.IEEE.ORG has an area called pub/fidonet/sds.  You might check places
like that for more information.

Yeah, works real well on paper, doesn't it?

Too bad it doesn't work in practice.  Give me some credit; I'm not an idiot.


Now I've found another problem.  I'm running VIRGIN 4.21a and there is a
serious problem with the Q-scan pointers.  One time it won't find any new
messages, another time it'll scan a sub starting at number 1.

What do you propose I do about this?

VMS, etc., etc.

Perhaps you'd care to consider some real dial-up text/file services (like CIS
or Delphi) rather than the "multi-line" bbs's most persons have in mind (dinky
little six or twelve line systems, as compared to hundreds of lines).. any
guesses as to the system hardware/software they use?  I'd lay you some very
good odds they're not running on a stinkin' PC with MS-DOS!  (And that would
be highly unfair, at least insofar as Delphi is concerned, as I already know
the HW/SW configuration of their host systems).

Who cares?  What does selection of OS have to do with any discussion of
so-called "BBS standards?"  Just what aspects of bbs operation/implementation
would we need to have standardized?  What would be the benefits and drawbacks
to accepting those standards?  What hidden agendas are at work?  Is there a
conspiracy?  Can it possibly get more interesting?

I think you misunderstood. The new mod that I believe Shari was referring to
my my recent mod for a multiline (more than 1 caller and more than 1 line) 
for WWIV. It wasn't all that tough despite it's size, and I certainly hope
some form of multiline will now get built into the stock WWIV in the future.
I didn't feel like waiting for a Unix version.
