Hi all I am setting up dbridge for dos in an old computer so that I can setup a dialup bbs using synchronet. I have tried to call in when dbridge is loaded up and have added the command line in the program to load the BBS and it connects but after a couple of seconds it says no carrier and I don't get hit escape twice or anything this computer has very little memory. any help would be apprecicated. thanks, Harvey

I'm wondering if your passing the correct port from the mailer to the BBS.

Just wondering... Why not use a windows 32bit mailer with the latest and greatest version of Synchronet

What version of Synchronet are you trying to do this with?

Synchronet v3 cannot be used in this way but there are certainly better/easier ways to "setup a dialup BBS using Synchronet". You don't need dbridge.

His best bet would be to ask in the D'Bridge Fidonet Echo.

I DO have POTS callers, and they are

I would like to know how that is done.

I think they are windows only. and 32 bit at that. DBridge is still DOS based, but optimized for Windows these days. Not sure if there is still a pure dos version or not.

Hmm, an empty quote got saved so here it is again <G>

Yes, SexPOTS will, but since I have downlinks and since they sometimes use POTS to get their mail, I have to use something else. I had Intermail running for years, but it is only 16 bit, and for this caller to telnet kludge I needed a 32 bit front end.

no such thing as a "door mailer"... perhaps you are thinking of the old DOS BBS
style of "shell to mailer" mode?

it has always been easier to run the mailer and then let it feed to the BBS by starting the BBS with the proper command lines... among those are that the connection on the port is already active, what the speed of the connection is and how much time remains until the next mailer event... those are only three of the possibilities...

but with synchronet and other BBS packages available these days, you don't need
to worry about this type of stuff because the BBS runs on one port and the mailer runs on another port so there's no passing off from one to the other... not unless you are trying to run FTN-over-telnet and using the same telnet port
for the BBS... in that case, then the old rules do apply and the BBS software has to have the command parameters to start it as mentioned above...

Either. Eggdrop bots can be scripted to do anything asked of them. Just setup keywords in the bot, give a command that will show the user the list that is available then the users trigger those key words and it will answer... say with the appropriate link to the wiki. I'm sure you can even script sub-menus to really pinpoint the question for a correct answer.

A bot that asks questions listed in the FAQ, or one that answers them? :)

how about one that just asks questions already in the docs and faq?

That can easily be done... :)

Either. Eggdrop bots can be scripted to do anything asked of them. Just setup keywords in the bot, give a command that will show the user the list that is available then the users trigger those key words and it will

on my irc server we had a great bot, but the operator moved servers and didnt have a backup of the brain. there was about 8 years of learning. the bot said some interesting shit. :D

I have a HelpBot on mine... answers the normal irc basic command questions but I also have an AI module installed in it. It's one that "Learns as it goes". Some kinky stuff gets thrown across the screen at times... :)

Mine is about 4-5 years... but it's in my #help channel so it doesn't really get to see some serious stuff anymore. :)

[2:59:43p] <@HelpBot> TequilaMockingbird: Lol..we're sitting about 3 feet away from the first - this one - arrgh - he has me back in 86 or 87, but only because i use it for me.
[3:00:09p] <&TequilaMockingbird> HelpBot, and what do you use?
[3:00:17p] <@HelpBot> TequilaMockingbird: I would do because i use it for me. [3:00:31p] <&TequilaMockingbird> HelpBot,why only you, do you not like to

SexPOTS will do that for you. Edit the config and then load it as a service... viola!!

Thanks, but I have already looked at that. SEXPOTS in Windows 32 bit and
the wiki states that Linux users use mgetty instead, which I have done.
