Adjust as needed.              It's been a while since I ran the SW version. I'm not sure how a command like       that will work in the SW version but have a try and see.              bbbsd is a listener. You can run bbbs to poll other nodes like this..              ./bbbs 1 1 tcpip              Or like this to log on locally..              ./bbbs 0               Ttyl :-),        Al       --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 30/0 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 129/305 153/105 135       SEEN-BY: 153/757 802 154/10 218/700 221/1 6 226/30 227/114 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 452 550 664 700 1016 1017 240/1120 5832 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 261/38 280/464 282/1038 292/854 301/0 1 101 113 317/3       SEEN-BY: 322/757 335/364 342/17 200 633/280 4500/1 5058/104       PATH: 153/757 221/6 301/1 229/426           |
