      MSGID: 1:18/200 6260c934       CHRS: UTF-8 2       TZUTC: -0400       TID: MBSE-FIDO 1.0.8 (Linux-x86_64)       Hello All,              I discovered a fix for the problem using fTelnet on your website and DOS doors        under DOSemu not working due to fTelnet sending "ansi-bbs" as the term        variable if your distro uses termcap.              I will be putting this into the new "how to run DOS doors" section in the new        MBSE docs but for now...              === Cut ===       Using fTelnet on your website to connect to MBSE does not work with DOS       doors running under DOSemu since fTelnet sends the term variable set to       "ansi-bbs" and there is not an entry in terminfo or termcap for "ansi-bbs"       so DOSemu abends.              There is an easy fix for this if your Linux distro uses termcap:              1) Become the "mbse" user on your MBSE computer.              2) Go to:        https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/raw/master/install/terminfo               Save this file as /opt/mbse/terminfo              3) Go to:        https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/raw/master/install/termcap               Save this file as /opt/mbse/termcap              4) Switch to "su" (do NOT use "su -") and run these two commands:               # tic terminfo        # cat termcap >> /etc/termcap              5) You can switch back to the "mbse" user and delete those two files you       created.              This fix works under Devuan Linux so it should work on any other Debian-based        distro. It should work under Slackware too if memory serves.              Thanks to Rob Swindell, et al., for posting this on the Synchronet BBS wiki       at http://wiki.synchro.net/install:nix!       === Cut ===              -- Sean              ...
