    BP>> to neil, http://qico.sf.net/ is my client used to connect to you :)   
    NW> Cool stuff; a standard Fido mailer over telnet (using TelSer device    
    NW> here, currently) is my preferred way of doing things at the moment.   
      
   if you port qico to amiga it will role there aswell :)   
      
   qico runs at service fido and tfido here, port 60177 and 60179   
      
    NW> In fact, I now get all my mail using this method. I used to tunnel it    
    NW> to my uni email address, but this is inefficient (33% overhead with    
    NW> base64 and uuencode) and can be time consuming to do without a good    
    NW> client side script.   
      
   so you are one of the script kiddies ? :)   
      
    NW> Now I have ADSL on the BBS (and unmetered access from my house at uni), I    
    NW> can poll anytime and at no extra cost.. :)   
      
   thats life :)   
      
    NW> BinkP I currently only use to call out with; I use Bink4D from Aminet    
    NW> and (since the w*n*er didn't include the GPL source)   
      
   don't use it !   
      
   why not make it into your own c code in zeus ?   
      
   sometimes i hate gpl licensenses :/   
      
    NW> I have a 4D capable version I built on the original source - I can't    
    NW> remember whether I got this to work properly or what happened or even if    
    NW> I'm using it right now;   
      
   if its working put it on aminet or send it on amiganet as hatch, can't hurt   
   now :)   
      
    NW> certainly I didn't release it publically. Neither version work    
    NW> particularly well.   
      
   was not what it did here, changed to linux anyway :)   
      
    NW>    Caller Name          Town/Group/Address        Actions Upped     
    NW>  : Bo Simonsen          2:236/100.0               ....M       0          
      
    NW> The second caller there is the only recent one which wasn't me - have    
    NW> you configured your Qico correctly or do you have an alias ? :)   
      
   i have alot of alias, check your logs :)   
      
   nope bo did call you, and i tryed to do the same only one of us did come in to   
   you, i missed to provide port 23 on your hostname and then qico call you   
   default on 60179 if i remember   
      
    NW> Ah, it's exciting having a 24h multiline BBS :) at last.. I'm going    
    NW> to be spending a lot of time this summer redoing the mess the BBS has    
      
   good to see your spirit lives :)   
      
    NW> got into over the last few years. With only a few occasional callers,    
    NW> and most activity being Fido related, I've left a lot of things to go    
    NW> out of date or be left unfinished..   
      
   what about zeus ?   
      
    BP>> i don't have modem atm on my linux box :(   
    NW> I plan to phase out modem access to my BBS; keep it on for emergencies,    
    NW> outgoing calls and the like, but phase it out for public use.   
      
   most old users will hate you for this, but i have taken the same route on   
   this, but i have reversed it to try to have modem on linux now since i could   
   use a fax :)   
      
   its not solved completely, but qico is ready :)   
      
      
    Regards Benny   
      
   ... and it works :)
