    Tim,

    Wiki edit of http://wiki.synchro.net/howto:support by digital man:
    Don't be a douche bag

    It's going to take a lot of pages to explain in wiki format "How to not be a K>douchebag" with varying degrees of success depending on the douchebag reading K>it.

    It sounds like he needed a basic course of IP addresses first. I knew
    a (now former) Sysop who had NO CLUE what the AUTOEXEC and CONFIG files
    were on the system -- really??!! What are they doing running a BBS??!!

    oh wow.. and that right there is why i don't really like the idea of autoconfig scripts, etc.. if someone needs a script to do all the BBS instal/setup/configuration, then how in the crap will they actually be able to run the BBS. I can understand having one for a sysop who is already setup and would just like to hav eit to roll the bbs back out incase something happens. but I've seen and committed some doozies in my lifetime of sysoping.. I really have done some stupid crap from time to time because I really hate reading documentation, etc. so I find myself usually skimming through it. after a while most everything with SBBS can be setup without worrying about docs.. but theres times when stuff comes up and bites me.. and make me look fairly stupid because usally it is the trivial stuff that gets me.

    Real Sysops read the docs...or at least skim them...a nice way of
    saying RTFM. :P

    Many authors hate writing the docs as much as we hate reading
    it...but, they also have to cater to "the lowest common denominator"
    (LCD), as not everyone is as computer savvy as they are.

    Yeah,, I guess I can agree with both points of view, just saying.. In MY experiences, If I did'nt have that initial setup to go through, I would have never learned anything of the BBS.. but I still have a lot to learn, and I've been a die hard sbbs fan for over 17 years now.. (cannot believe it's been that long) but my abstract, obtuse, and acute way around some things are much different than others would do it, so to each their own :)

    whatever works good for the next person makes me happy.. Im just afraid one day we will have more sysops than users and most of these syops will have more questions than the users do. most of the users that frequent my BBS are much snarter than I am when it comes to some things, I have them beat on others, :-)

    Nostalgia, and Ham Radio is starting to make the BBS a popular thing again, I keep more dedicated users now than I did back in 2003.

    HAHA.. I was thinking the same but did'nt want to say anythign.. some of that documentation from pimpwars or something.. had pics of pixelated booblies..

    always loved downloading some of that old rusty n'edy crap when I was about 11 and the gifs were so resolution you could see the pixelation. that is until I got my planet connect satellite when I became this regions fidonet and some othernet hub.

    cant say I really "Made a living" off the BBS, but at age 13, having 20-30 subscribers paying 5-30 a month helped keep that satellite and ISDN lines paid.. think i'm the only teen in my county that had over 6 phone lines registered to my name

    In this case, it's NOT the sexual connotation. It's just the term I
    used for a glitch. Nowadays, when people here things like "size does

    and fall), that I forget how to do it.

    The technology is trying to cram too many features into an item...and
    that's the case also with ham radio. When I got into the hobby over 26
    years ago, it was so easy to program the radio, set up PL tones, etc.,
    and you could understand the docs!! Now, unless you have the programming
    cable and software, you'll NEVER get that thing set up!!

    Tim,

    Nostalgia, and Ham Radio is starting to make the BBS a popular thing again, I K>keep more dedicated users now than I did back in 2003.

    I have a "promo" for the BBS when hams "ping me" on D-Rats...talk
    about a shameless plug!! <G>

    I have some of the ham radio doors that the late Dave Perry (W0KGU,
    SK) did, that I also use for other things. He did them without a fossil,
    so you have to either run them under Synchronet (with its intercept I/O
    comport deal), or use a workaround with DoorWay, and a generic
    DORINFO1.DEF dropfile -- the doors will run ONLY with a DORINFO1.DEF dropfile...you can NOT use DOOR.SYS or any other dropfile with it.

    The ones I have are:

    1) BULLET - 26 bulletins on whatever category you choose. I have them
    set up for ham radio, weather, and BBS information...including information/bulletins and glossary/terms for ham radio and weather.

    2) REGSCAN - Part 97 of the FCC Rules, as they relate to ham radio. I
    have a separate textfile in ZIP format of that...and try to keep that
    updated as often as possible. The most recent change was adding those 2
    new bands for General, Advanced, and Extra Class licensees (I think
    630 and 2200 meters), but they have to notify the UTC (this one isn't
    for Universal Time Coordination) 30 days prior to using them, and you
    are limited on power output.

    3) WASPORT - Track your progress in the ARRL WAS (Worked All States) competition. There is one custom mode set up by the Sysop, and I have
    that as "Internet" (i.e. VoIP). Even though VoIP doesn't count toward
    WAS, it's interesting to see how many states you've worked that way.

    4) QRZDOOR - Of the doors, unless you have an older QRZ database CD,
    this one is worthless. They quit issuing downloadable updates on their
    website 2 years ago. I have since replaced that with the Buckmaster
    Callsign CD. It's subscription based, but you get monthly updates,
    instead of having to replace the entire CD every 6 months. There is a
    utility called ICALL.EXE which will allow you to work it from the DOS
    prompt. I also use the Doorway module (originally done by Marshall
    Dudley, now done by Mike Ehlert) to make it display over Synchronet as a
    door.

    5) ARPD - If you have an older MFJ 1270C TNC2 or the equivalent 1270
    series TNC's, you can use this to allow ham radio operators to access
    the area packet network, courtesy of your TNC.

    With the latest setup over here, though, for whatever reason, the
    program thinks an on air connect is already in progress, and the door
    exits. If I did it under COM0, it'd work. So, I just have it set up as a
    TNC mailbox.

    But, with an apartment inspection coming soon, the magmount antenna and
    coaxial cable, which reaches to the front window...and since they don't
    allow any kind of cables, cords, etc. across the apartment floor during
    an inspection (it's a tripping hazard), I've got it turned off at the
    present time.

    The WASPORT and ARPD doors have special configuration files to allow
    ham radio operators into the door, and to disallow non-hams. Note
    that while BULLET and REGSCAN do NOT REQUIRE the user or Sysop to have
    a ham radio license...ARPD requires at least a Technician Class license
    or higher (or the equivalent) for the Sysop and users...and I've got it
    set where WAS and the Buckmaster door (I did the same for QRZDOOR)
    requires a Novice Class license or higher (or the equivalent) to access.

    While I have an access level for ham radio operators, some confirmed
    Visiting Sysops (such as you) are also hams -- so I added the H flag to
    allow access.

    I didn't go about it that way, and never really realized it until it was pointed out. There's nothing specific to QWK on that BBS list, so I probably just didn't put it in there.

    It's changed now though.

    Mike,

    When it comes to the computer, my tolerance level for exploration seems to DW>have gone down in relation to my age going up. :)

    You're in good company. These days, I don't like new learning curves.

    Thank you for your validation. :-)

    Instead of applause, you should've asked for them to throw money your
    way instead...or click on the DONATE button on the SBBS website. <G>

    Rob,

    Wiki edit of http://wiki.synchro.net/resource:doors by digital man:
    [BBS Door Distribution Sites] Unfortunately, Doug Reah passed away, so bbsfiles.com is no more.

    That explains why I couldn't get into the site. He had been battling
    cancer for several years.

    I was glad I registered several doors through him when I did...I'll have
    to update the bulletin on the BBS for that.

    I use it like *every day*, so not sure what're talking about there.

    I just realized a few days ago that putting asterisks around a word or
    phrase, as you did above, makes the text appear *BOLD*. Pretty neat! ;)
