Subject: Running a small BBS in school
Date: 7 Jan 93 15:19:00 GMT
Organization: Glasgow University Computing Science Dept.

We have a number of terminal concentrators and about 20 or so dumb terminals
which are surplus to our requirement here. The concentrators are Ethernet
and run TCP/IP. The proposal is to give all this kit to a secondary school
(11-17 yr olds) and help them set up a local BBS inside the school for the
kids to play on. However no one here has ever done this and I need some guidance
/help.
The proposal is to install an Ethernet system in the school and connect up
the dumb terminals via the concentrators to the Ethernet. The school also
has a bunch of Macs and we have a couple of spare Kinetics Fastpath gateways
which would allow the Macs onto the network. As a server, it would probably
be a PC of some description fitted with an Ethernet card and TCP installed.
The problem is one of what software to run that would be compatible with all
of this. I should point out that cash is a *real* problem for this school as
it is in a seriously disadvantaged area. In addition running a complex OS
like Unix would present serious problems for those at the school who will
need to maintain the system so it'd probably have to be a DOS system of some
sort.
At the moment I've downloaded QuickBBS but I'm not convinced it will run as
we think it will and talk to the dumb terminals/Macs.
There's no outside connections via modems involved and disc space requirements
would be pretty small to start with.

I'd be grateful if someone could point a complete beginner in this area in
something of the right direction as I'm wary of dumping a whole load of kit
which turns out to be useless on this school and it seems to be a complete
waste to just ditch this gear.

E-mail or post would be fine.

Many thanks

Dave

	Well if our dept. decides to start one up, I'll definetly try to
add an area for TBBS/TDBS related stuff.  For the time being, you
can telnet to wintermute.uvm.edu and maybe try to download them if you're
using a terminal program (at 2400 baud though...ugg).  If you want to
call direct at v.32bis or 16.8HST, the number is (802)656-1182.

This is not to mention that most sysop's I know (I myself for the first)
don't setup a BBS for the download of files.  I set mine up for mail
(net and echo) and recently have added on-line games.  When I go
multi-line (it's only a matter of time! :)  I will run my second line
(actually, the first line on the new number, the slower on the old
number) and give my contributing users access to the new line ONLY!
(The way I define contributing is people who read and post messages and
people who have sent money in to register games for the BBS.  I don't
anticipate giving the DL only people access, nor do I plan on giving
them the highspeed modem.  Now, I currently would have to multi-task
maximus, but I recently setup BSD on my personal PC to try UNIX for a
bbs host.  Preferably with a new, custom (perhaps maximus port) bbs
software, written with UNIX in mind...  Anyone who doesn't charge, who
setup a bbs only for DLing, might want to consider WHY they are running
a bbs.  I do carry some file echos, and have one of the best file areas
in town (or so I've been told by my out-of-town callers...) but I didn't
set it up for that reason.

You might try running a copy of Waffle through a Telegard door. Your
other option is VBBS, but though it has nominal Internet compatibliity,
it's slow and doesn't accept bang path addresses.

I do not own a Telebit, but the behaviours you describe sound like can
happen with any modem.

Make sure you configure your modem for RTS/CTS; that is, do not use
XON/XOFF!   This is in answer to the "losing characters" you mentioned.

As for trouble in initializing... sounds like your modem and Frontdoor
are not communicating at the same speed initially.  You need to
configure your modem for 9600 in NVRAM so that the settings do not get
changed between power-ups.

Other than that... sorry.

Sure Mark.  I'm about sent you an e-mail.  I thought I'd respond here for
the benefit of everyone else.

Sending mail from Internet to WWIVnet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are two ways you can send mail to a person on WWIVnet - by number and by
name.  (i.e.  Jay Walker@7659 and 1@7659 would get to the same person - me.)

To send by number, do the following: IN%"1-7659@wwiv.tfsquad.mn.org"

To send by name, do the following: IN%"jay_walker-7659@wwiv.tfsquad.mn.org"


Hope that helps...

pictures etc.]

Most telnet'able bbs's are in the .edu domain and most academic sites don't
carry adult pictures in there archives for reasons of limited disk space
amongst other things. Nyx was the only one I was aware of that carried images
but they zapped their's a few months back to make more room for other things.

All the adult boards I've seen are dial up and I don't recall ever seeing
one you can telnet to.

Except, of course, that Microsoft (I believe) also had licensing from
Xerox.  So what convinced Apple that they were responsible for

[Pardon my prior rhetorical license re 'stole', but I think the whole
'look and feel' lawsuit binge initiated by Lotus and Apple is simply,
er, well, stupid seems like a good word.]

Too bad it is a pay system.  The fact that it is in the State of
Colorado would be a real reason to call it.  I think this boycott
crap is rediculous, and I am part of the anti-boycott movement.  Take
vacations there because it is supposedly being boycotted, do business
with companies mail order who are in Colorado.  So far I have had
good experiences dealing with Colorado -- so using this BBS might
not be a bad idea.
