Help Me Test My BBS

[Dmaster]

Hello all.  I am, thanks to god a heart attack survivor.  I am currently at home on temp dissability and as anyone can guess very bored  I am trying to revive my old BBS system as a hobby to kill some time.  Can you please help me test if its working by telnet to : necrobbs.strangled.net   Thanks.  Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

I am using CNet v5.07.  I guess I cannot do this.  I thought I could  I am using my cell phone connected to my computer via usb for internet connection.  I have to be able to forward ports on my cell phone. but Using the router address given I cannot do anything.  I have Tmobile network.  I am trying to find out if there is a way to forward.  I think I got the terms right  It's been a while.  I remember when I had comcast I was able to log into my router to do all this.    Any suggestions?  Thanks all.

Well. It's not going to happen for now.  I thought I could use my cell phones internet connection to my computer but I guess not.  I need to forward some ports and there is no way for me to do this right now.    Oh well wishfull thinking.

Let's try one more time.   I set it up using a VPN service.  Please try telnet to: necrobbs.strangled.net  Let me know what results you get please.  Thanks to all.

Well, I took the plunge and ordered real internet service for my home.  With a real router so I can forward ports and everything.  Equipment should arrive by this weekend.  Stay tuned for my BBS to be back online.  Like I said just a hobby to kill time

[Dmaster]

Well, fingers crossed. I think I got it working now.

Please telnet to : necrobbs.strangled.net with an ansi terminal and let me know if its working.  Thanks.

Tried it, seems to work fine

Great!    Thanks

[Dmaster]

Well, so far the BBS is working fine.  You can telnet to : necrobbs.strangled.net.  Are there any current or former CNet Amiga sysops that may be able to help me setup Newsgroups, Fidonet and E-mail on the system?  Any help would be greatly apreciated.  Thanks to all of you who have so far tried the system.

 Yes I understand my friend.  I have to work on that.  You can always use a fake address and phone number for the time being since that does not really matter to me.    I apologize for that.  But I am looking to find out how I can cut that down.  Thanks.

[Dmaster]

I did not even know they had 5.10h    I have 5.10e but I am using 5.07.  Let me know your BBS info when you can my friend.

[Dmaster]

I cut back a few questions but bare with me  I trying to figure out to make it less.  But remember.  What is does ask is only a one time thing

[Dmaster]

It got stuck in an endless loop asking for the area code and then local part of my phone number.

Sorry about that. Try again when you can and please let me know if it happens again.  Thank you.
