      Hi All,              Me and Mike found a way running BBBS/D and Netfoss, i'm running it now on my       system ;)              Here is how to:              BBBS/D Usage        ------------               BBBS/D comes in DOS, Win32, OS/2 and Linux versions, but due to the way the        Win32 version is designed it is not able to run DOS doors using telnet, so        you should only use the DOS version (BBBS/D) with Windows and NetFoss.                      1) Unzip the NetFoss files into a directory such as c:\netfoss\ and also        unzip the included NET2BBS.ZIP archive into the same directory.        copy NETFOSS.DLL into a directory located in the Windows path.        If you are running Windows 8. 7, Vista, or 2008 then you must copy        NETFOSS.DLL into the c:\windows\system32\ directory for it to work.        This can only be done from a Command Prompt which was opened using        "Run As Administator" (right click on its icon to select this).               2) Edit your NF.BAT file, to pass the node number to NETFOSS.COM by        changing the line that loads NETFOSS.COM to include a " %1" at the end.        (this is explained in detail in the DOS BBS section above.)               3) Unzip NET2BBS.ZIP into the same directory as NetFoss, and rename        NET2BBS.SAMPLE.INI to NET2BBS.INI               4) Edit your NET2BBS.INI to use the following Command and StartPath:               Command=c:\netfoss\nf.bat /n*N /h*H c:\bbbs\bbbs.exe 1 *N        StartPath=c:\bbbs               5) Unzip BBBS/D version 4.00 into the c:\bbbs directory.                      6) Using notepad, create a file named DOBBS.BAT in the c:\bbbs directory.        It only needs the following line:               x 57600 x x Telnet               7) From the c:\bbbs directory, type "BCFG4 1" to configure node 1,        and select "Local: General". Then on the "FD's DOBBS.BAT option,        enter the following:               c:/bbbs/dobbs.bat               Notice that the slashes are in the wrong direction (unix style).        Press ESC twice, and choose "Exit and Save". Repeat Step 7 for every        node you wish to configure, using "BCFG 2" for node 2, and so on.               Now run Net2BBS.exe, and it is ready to accept Telnet connections.              Have fun!              Best regards!       Rudi Timmermans.              --- BBBS/NT v4.10 Dada-1        * Origin: X-TReMe BBS - Web BBS: http://xtremebbs.dyndns.info (2:562/140)    |
