   Netsurge to All   
   Dial Up Gateway   
   24 Nov 10 00:57:52   
   
   From: "Netsurge"    
      
   I have been working on a dial-up -> telnet gateway for bbs-scene.org over the   
   past few weeks.  This dial-up gateway will offer dial-up access to all of the   
   bbs systems listed in the bbs-scene.org bbs list.   
      
   Essentailly a user will call a number and be presented with a menu of bbs   
   systems, the server will then create a telnet connection to the bbs the user   
   chooses.  This will give all the sysops who have their systems listed in the   
   bbs list the ability to offer dial-up access.   
      
   What I need, before I roll this out is a few testers.  If you have a modem   
   handy (if you don't know what a modem is this your way too young for this) then   
   fire up SyncTERM, set it to modem and dial 416-623-2970.   
      
   Please let me know how you make out here.  This is currently setup on a voip   
   line which usually causes connection issues at speeds faster than 28800.  I'm   
   toying with the idea of adding an acutal POTS like to ensure stability based on   
   the feedback I get from people testing it.   
      
   Thanks.
