      Hello Nicholas!

   It can even be confusing for us that use the software every day! I'm sometimes    
   loosing the location of settings   
   and have to go though a lot of screens to find stuff.

   Is this any help? I haven't tried it on my Pi (the bigger model 1).

   Well the message is for Vince and everybody need it...I installed on Pi3 with   
   this:   
      
   apt-get install xinetd telnetd build-essential sudo git zlib1g-dev   
   git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/mbsebbs/code mbsebbs-code   
   cd mbsebbs-code   
   chmod a+x SETUP.sh   
   ./SETUP.sh   
   Answer prompts as required.   
   Give the mbse and your account sudo rights by editing /etc/sudoers with    
   visudo.   
   Log out.   
   Log back in as the mbse user.   
   Check out code into mbse user's home directory: git clone   
   git://git.code.sf.net/p/mbsebbs/code mbsebbs-code   
   cd mbsebbs-code   
   sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev (For Hydra/Binkp zlib compression)   
   sudo apt-get install libgeoip-dev (For GeoIP functions)   
   sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev (For Binkp bzlib compression)   
   ./configure   
   make   
   su   
   To check the value of $MBSE_HOME before installation: echo $MBSE_HOME   
   If correct, run 'make install'.   
   cd /etc/xinetd.d   
   Open the file mbsebbs for editing.   
   Scroll down until you find the telnet section.   
   Set disable = no   
   Change /usr/sbin/telnetd to read /usr/sbin/in.telnetd   
   Save xinetd.d.   
   sudo service xinetd restart   
   ps-ef | grep xinetd   
   Results should be something like:   
   root@mbse:/etc/xinetd.d# ps -aux | grep xinetd   
   root 24925 1 0 22:08 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/xinetd -pidfile /run/x   
   root 24927 24379 0 22:08 pts/1 00:00:00 grep xinetd   
   telnet localhost   
   You should now get:   
   mbse@mbse:/etc/xinetd.d$ telnet localhost   
   Trying ::1...   
   Trying 127.0.0.1...   
   Connected to localhost.
