+bf2k+ Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) None of the stuff in my download section applies to versions of PRO newer than 2.1a, so if this logon module is for a newer version, there won't be anything there for it. LOGON.DAT doesn't exist anywhere on my system. BTW, what Pro version is this for? Edited September 8, 2017 by bf2k+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I suggested he take a look on your BBS. -JP Edited September 9, 2017 by JohnPolka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) Great list! Thanks for compiling this. Is there a standard location or repository where this list will be maintained at? Or will we just have to find it in this message thread? -JP New list looks good. I know there are documents online that can be modified that we can give access to those in this thread to. Updating my own BBS list at this point as I tend to get really into this in the fall time of year. --------------- Here is a link to the online Atari BBS List. Let me know if you can edit it. https://docs.google.com/document/d/19ANRensH4REdqIo9dr-r5Zhp4L2bHG9LE8N4HoSMX3w/edit Edited September 9, 2017 by doctorclu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Alright, combined the list of Atari BBSs that Tillek made along with the BBS list I made back in January of this year, then found some illustrations to replace the ASCII art to get us started. Functional so far. We need to flesh out the list and verify all the working BBSs so still a lot for everyone to do.

Atari BBS List Online https://docs.google.com/document/d/19ANRensH4REdqIo9dr-r5Zhp4L2bHG9LE8N4HoSMX3w/edit I successfully called every BBS on the list I had with the exception of Toxic Nipple today. I'll reach out to that SysOp and see if there is an issue or if he took it down. Jacoby tends to down all his BBSs when he is planning to be away from home for an extended amount of time (doesn't trust the old equipment). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Does anyone know why the file upload system in Pro! says pirate copy detected? I *AM* running a legit copy. Could it be mixed versions of CMD files troubling me again? Steve, Lance: Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikerbob Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 OK, looking for a hand with this. I am on Starfleet HQ BBs, trying to download the latest ICET that is an attachment in the msg system. I have used every protocol offered.. and I get stuck each time. See the picture. Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerbob Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Hey BF2K, all week last week I was not able to get on the Carina board? was it down? What do people think of Carina? I like express pro better I think. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just typed VERSION XMODEM.CMD, ind it said 4.0b (as it should). Why isn't there any official support for this? If there is no support, then it should be considered Abandonware, and all the hackers should have a go at it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why isn't there any official support for this? If there is no support, then it should be considered Abandonware, and all the hackers should have a go at it! Are you sure the "pirated copy detected" message is coming from the XMODEM.CMD module? Isn't there a command module (e.g., browse.cmd) that gets invoked when a user selects 'b' to browse files? What version is that? I was under the impression that your browse module might be a third party module. Maybe that module is not invoking the XMODEM.CMD module correctly? If the browse.cmd module is a third party module, maybe you can go back to the standard browse.cmd module. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 It could be. I saw XMODEM in the status line, so that's what made me look at it. I'll dump the files to screen and see if I can find which module contains the message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Update: I copied x*.cmd and y*.cmd from the master disk to d3:>pro>commands>a and the pirate message is gone. I still had errors transferring. It may be UDS-10 settings, or something about Hyper Term. Try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I successfully uploaded a file on your BBS using Y-modem, but then received the following message after I tried saving the file description: [3] Edit: Save Unable to save description! Total file(s) Uploaded =1 Total file Descriptions entered =1 Total file(s) aborted =0 Total file description(s) aborted =0 Looks like the file description did not save. Also for what it's worth, I tried uploading a file to both file sections and in both cases I received the above "Unable to save description" message. -JP Edited October 11, 2017 by JohnPolka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Thanks. I'll look into it. The little docs I have seem rather vague in that area. Or possibly, I am just an HD floppy in a DD drive. Edit: I see you're on the BBS again. Do anything you can think of and report any unusual results. Thanks. Edit: It looks like it's working! I did (in SDX) ARC X the ARCs you sent, and no CRC errors. Edited October 11, 2017 by Kyle22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikerbob Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hey guys, I would really love to be pure 8-bit, but whoever posted the ICET2.8A7 on one of the boards in the msg system .. could you put it up here or something? I have tried every protocol to download it, and nothing works. I have downloaded other files from Express.. or Carina.. so I assume it has something to do with it being in the msg system as an attachment.. OR the file itself is bad. I have not seen IceT 2.8 anything.. at all.. 2.76 is the last version I have found.. so if its legit.. can we get it posted here?

Kyle22 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I have added the "Indian Idiots" message base on my BBS for the discussion of rude Indians (such as my employer). telnet://broadway1.lorexddns.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this was going to be a Pittsburgh/Cleveland thing... but you're talking about different "Indians"... So we're good. Because if you were talking about the Cleveland Indians, I'd have had to invoke the 'Too soon' clause. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi301 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 My SX212 arrived! Are there any dial-up 8-bit BBSes left that I can call? I see quite a few on telnetbbsguide but I don't know if any are still active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
