      Hi Allen,              >I am setting up BBBS and I can't remember how to access the waiting for caller       > mode for use with tcpip. I read in the sysop.txt to run BBBS with the TCPIP       > device but ./bbbs TCPIP doesn't seem to work.              Ok, for TCPIP on my       node 2, I use this in my scripts:       ==============cut here===========       #!/bin/sh       while :       do        cd /home/bbbs       ./bbbs 1 2 /dev/ttyS1 "uid":bbs       # see note below about above line        RC=$?        echo BBBS RC: $RC        if [ $RC = 137 ]; then        exit        fi        if [ $RC = 0 ]; then        exit        fi        reset       done       ==========cut here=====                     > I'm also trying to start bterm with ./bbbs BTERM but it doesn't start.       > Can someone give me a reminder on how to do that? :)              To load up the manual, you type ./bag sysop.gui or cat sysop.txt. Press S       for search, then search for bterm.              One way to start bterm is from the WFC screen... 1st, press Esc, then the       arrow-right key to Applications->BTERM              Sorry, my first message got saved by mistake.. this should have been added:              To start BTERM from the command line just rename the bbbs binary to bterm..              Over here I created a separate directory for it.. you rename BBBS to btelnet       if IIRC...              bbs@filegate:~/term/bterm$ dir       total 3.3M       drwx------ 3 bbs bbs 4.0K Dec 24 1999 scripts drwx------ 2 bbs bbs 4.0K Jun        4 2005 up drwx------ 4 bbs bbs 4.0K Nov 15 2009 down       -rw-r--r-- 1 bbs bbs 6.7K Sep 26 2010 LICENSE.txt       -rw-r--r-- 1 bbs bbs 492 Sep 26 2010 BTERM.doc       -rwxr-xr-x 1 bbs bbs 1.2M Sep 26 2010 btelnet       -rw-r--r-- 1 bbs bbs 608K Sep 26 2010 sysop.gui       -rwxr-xr-x 1 bbs bbs 212K Sep 26 2010 btermcfg       -rwxr-xr-x 1 bbs bbs 1.2M Sep 26 2010 bterm       -rw-r--r-- 1 bbs bbs 9.9K Sep 26 2010 bbbs.002       -rw-r--r-- 1 bbs bbs 5.5K Sep 26 2010 bbbs.001       -rwxr-xr-x 1 bbs bbs 63K Sep 26 2010 bag       -rw-r--r-- 1 bbs bbs 184 Aug 13 2013 bterm.pho       -rw-r--r-- 1 bbs bbs 398 Jun 24 2014 bbbscfg4.000              Take care,       Janis              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-3        * Origin: Prism bbs (1:261/38)    |
