Title: Amiga BBS running CNet
Post by: Dmaster on December 27, 2007, 08:32:21 PM

Hello all, I hope I am not going against any rules here, if I am please remove this post.  I am once again trying my hands on running a BBS system that is telnetable.  For thos of you interested in trying it out, it may be reached by telnet://necro.cnetbbs.net

Thanks.

I merely got a blank window.  I'll try clicking with the other hand, grin.

The net is sooo much better, but, I used to enjoy all the BBSs.

I have it mostly ANSI enabled, you need to log-on with a good ANSI capable telnet program.  I use Mtelnet and it works great and is capable of file x-fers as well.  This is a hobby for me, just for old school  :)

What telnet program are you using?  Many users are using Mtelnet or SyncTerm.

telnet command that comes with AmiTCP 4.0, on my A600. I think I'll have to change my palette before I can read anything, though.  :lol:

You ever tried DCtelnet for the Amiga?  That is a very good telnet program as well.  If you don't have it give me your e-mail and I will attache a copy for you.  Also, if you do manage to connect and can download from whatever program you use, you may get it online from my system.

DCTelnet is the best program for telnet BBS'es and it's available on Aminet for free: http://aminet.net/search?query=dctelnet

AmTelnet works ok too, but I wouldn't use standard telnet commands which won't support ansi colors :)

In the coming few months I will be trying to set-up a web page for my BBS and try to integrate some features of the bbs to be usable through the site.  Not a good programmer but will do my best.  Remember:  Telnet to: necro.cnetbbs.net  :)
