How do I fix        > this?              Most of the default TCP ports that sbbs tries to bind are privileged (i.e. <       1024), so I'm not clear why ports 11 and 18 would be special. Maybe they're       just already bound to other services?              https://wiki.synchro.net/faq:tcpip#bind       --         digital man (rob)              Synchronet/BBS Terminology Definition #93:       XON = Transmit On (ASCII 17, Ctrl-Q)       Norco, CA WX: 45.8øF, 93.0% humidity, 0 mph E wind, 0.57 inches rain/24hrs       --- SBBSecho 3.23-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 153/757 7715 154/10       SEEN-BY: 154/30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/110 114       SEEN-BY: 229/206 317 400 426 428 470 550 700 705 240/1120 5832 266/512       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 5006 291/111 292/8125 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 256 1124 467/888       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26 5020/400 5054/30 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
