If you want to join FidoNEt I will assume that you have running a FIDO
compatible mailer like Binkley or FD.  If so, then file request NODELIST
from 1:x/0 where x is any net that you can find.  Most likely they will
have it available for you.  If all else fails, file request it from me
at the address listed in the .sig.  And if that doesn't work, and you still
can't get it even from ftp, call my BBS and d/l.

I've got a quick question here and I am sure that someone out 

there will be able to give me an answer..

 

I am running a Spitfire Bulletin board and would like to make 

available to my callers some service like USA Today or NYSE.  I 

will be running OS\2 in about a week on a 386DX-40MHz with 8 Meg 

Ram.  What I have heard about getting either of those services is 

that you must get a leased line and you also need to have a 

a data ingestion program running in the background all the time 

importing the information into the bulletin board.  If anyone can 

shed some light on the situation I would appreciate it!  I would 

also like to know..

1) How to get ahold of USA Today or NYSE staff who are in charge 

of the services.

2) Approximately how much will this run me in $ a month?

3) Is there a program out there that will feed the data into a 

Spitfire BBS or will I have to have a conversion program made?

 

        Appreciate it!

Hmmm...  Has its good and bad points.  Good being that one only has to read a
single group to get ideas/support for his/her BBS package.  Bad because of
all the extra groups - (Not that I mind, I already have almost 1300 here, a
few more wont hurt).  Another problem I see is this group has a large
collection of authors and users.  If you split it up, everyone goes back into
their own corners, and doesn't talk to one-another.  Either that, or there 
will be a lot of cross-posting.

Yeah.  I am trying to figure out  a way to eliminate the

As an aside, sometimes I will be logged in remotely and be shelled to 
dos, and I want to download a file quickly from the dos prompt.  I setup 
a batch file like this:
 ctty con
 dsz sz %1
 ctty com1
Which also works with other protocol programs as well.  The CON parameter 
of DSZ might work just as well, but I have never tried it.

3.0 is by a new author, and is being written from scratch.  The only thing

WafMail is in C.  No Waffle utility to be used online could be written in
perl, unless you use the dgpp DOS extender or something; perl is too huge.

This still won't work in my case since I have to strip a whole bunch

A new bug, at least for me: when you are reading with NEW and post to a
newsgroup with N messages, it will for some reason assume that there are
N+2 messages in the newsgroup after this, say "not available" for the N+2nd
and wind back to the first message.

Anyone else notice this ?

GO WITH 1.65!  Lots of new (and, IMHO, better) things.  Well, not the
source of *all*, but it is one of the bigger sources of headaches and
hugs <g>.

I just checked the static file and "mail_ok" is set to 2, so that
shouldn't affect it.  The problem is intermitant.  If you get it and
log off then log back on the problem usually goes away.  Dunno, will
keep my eye on this.  I just got the actual release of 1.65 in the
mail and maybe this will cover it - will see.  Perhaps I should check
the integrity of the password file ( as soon as I figure out how <g>).

Thanks!  Take care, Vikki.

Version 1.64 did the same thing.  Those messages aren't prompts.  They mean
that Waffle doesn't know about those groups, probably because they aren't
in ~/system/usenet.  This only happens when following up an article that
has been crossposted to groups that your system doesn't carry.  As far as I
know, this is/was not a bug.

It's cut off so that you can see a summary of the mail item on a single
line.  Ever notice that your Subject is similarly trimmed?

Try playing with the listmail parameter in your static file.

More than likely there isn't enough free RAM to run RMAIL.  Have a look
and see if you're running alot of TSRs or a few big ones. Try removing
some and see what happens.

I had that problem for a while.  It turned out to be a not enough

waffle is running.
