A SQL query walks into a bar and sees two tables. Asks: 'Can I        TM> join you?'              I have VM setup bridged networking. I guess I am trying to figure out what IP       address to use in the MajorBBS settings? Also when I do a port check on 23, it       show's closed, and not sure why. I MysticNNS setup using port 1025, and that       one shows open.              Richard                     --- GoldED+/W64-MSVC 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: >>The File Cabinet BBS<< filecabi.casacam.net (1:282/1038)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 18/200 90/1 105/81 106/201 123/131 129/305 153/7715       SEEN-BY: 218/700 226/30 227/114 229/111 112 113 206 275 307 317 400       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 428 452 470 550 664 700 266/512 282/1038 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848       PATH: 282/1038 229/426           |
