In order to resolve that, make a copy of       sbbsexec.ini from Synchronet's exec directory to your Nuke Wars directory,       then edit sbbsexec.ini in your Nuke Wars directory with a text editor. Change       the ComPort setting (in the [UART] section) to specify 3:              [UART]       ComPort=3       --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 15/0 90/1 102/401 103/1 17 705 105/81 106/201 128/260       SEEN-BY: 129/305 135/225 153/7715 218/0 1 109 215 501 601 700 720       SEEN-BY: 218/810 820 840 850 860 870 880 900 930 940 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 112 113 200 206 307 317 400 426 428 470 550 664 700       SEEN-BY: 266/512 282/1038 291/111 301/1 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 218/700 229/426           |
