   Hi Scott!   
      
   SB> Hi Jay,   
      
   JD> I am interested to know if anyone still run old dos based bbs software   
   JD> AND have their system on internet, telnet?   
   SB>   
   SB> Yes and yes...   
      
   JD> If so do you have problems with fossil drivers?   
   SB>   
   SB> No problems with netfoss.   
      
      
   JD> My system is configured around BNU, and I am trying to figure out how to   
   JD> make my system telnet capable and of course the main reason is to get   
   JD> these wonderful old door games back in use.   
   SB>   
   SB> What BBS software are you using?   
      
   Spitfire for BBS. Frontdoor m/l for front end.   
      
   JD> I have heard that the faster machines pentium 3 and faster the old   
   JD> software like doors have problems running under say Win XP.   
   JD> Win XP also has problematic issues. No built in support for Novell.   
   SB>   
   SB> I'm running Win XP on a old PII computer and have no problems. I've   
   SB> got lot's  of old DOS games working on my board.   
   SB>   
   SB> My OS is Win XP sp3.   
      
   I have two XP machines. The preferred machine is a P4 sp3 and could   
   easily hold the entire server hard drive contents. I am in the process   
   now of playing around with client32 to connect to the server.   
   I have been to pcmicro web site and it looked very promising,   
      
   SB>   
   SB> BBS software is Renegade   
   SB>   
   SB> fossil drive and telnet is netfoss and net2bbs. Works great.   
      
   These were what I was looking at as well. Not sure how Spitfire will   
   deal with Netfoss. It basically ignores bnu now.   
      
   SB> I also use Ftelnet on the website so people without a telnet program   
   SB> can just  click on the website to log in tru ftelnet. Only problem I   
   SB> have with that is I don't have the file transfer protocol working for   
   SB> Ftelnet.   
      
   This one I have not seen. You would need this for... newer windows   
   people that do not have a telnet program on the os? IE: win7 vista etc?   
      
   Thanks for the input.   
      
      
      
      
   ... Jay
