iNSEMiNOiD Amiga BBS goes live!
« on: January 27, 2004, 01:19:57 PM »
As of 9pm GMT Tues 27th Jan iNSEMiNOiD BBS will be on and waiting to receive callers via telnet.



It can be reached at inseminoid.dyndns.org. This being telnet means no call charges or such like - all the joys of BBSing without the expense and phonebills!

Although it will be online and accepting calls there is still a bit of last minute polishing to be done, so expect improvements to the board over the next few weeks. Still, it's in a fine state so pop in. Open 24 hours!

I can't connect!
I tried this:
telnet inseminoid.dyndns.org

and it said connecting and then it just closed the window. Is it an Amiga only BBS or something? (I surf with WIN2000 laptop)

It's now after 9:00 PM GMT, but connections are failing. Either the server is slammed and refusing connections, or it's not quite ready. . . .

Sorry to all those who tried to log on but couldn't last night. Was having some problems so some of you were lucky and others weren't. Firstly the telnetd client kept quitting out after a user had logged off (which I wasn't aware of for the first few hours). I tried to piece together a script last night to get it to re-run after a log off but as of this morning it wasn't working properly. However, it should be sorted by 9pm this evening so don't give up on me! :)

Secondly, still operating with an unregistered tesler (the telnetd client) which limits you to one session at a time (i.e. some of you might have tried when it was busy). The keyfile for telser is freely available but needs uudecoding which i've been having probs with (probably because i was using ed to extract the encoded section).

The first problem should be solved today, maybe even both! (I'm going to put a plea for help on amiga.org now!)

Apologies to the few of you that had difficulties!

Do you mean how to interface a standard BBS package to telnet to get BBS's accessbile via the internet? I would be happy to do this as it would have been very useful to me. It was quite a struggle setting things up with very little documentation but I got there in the end (obivously!)

If you mean how people can use telnet to access a bbs like inseminoid, then sure - although the docs that come with every telnet package would surely explain this?
