+DarkLord Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 So all the text came up for you, and you didn't have to sit looking at a blank screen, wondering what to do, when you first connected? Coolness incorporated. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Interesting Link... http://www.masswerk.at/googleBBS/ Huh! That is cool. Makes me wonder if a google door could be made for a BBS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Anyone who hasn't added the IRC gateway to your BBS list, please feel free to: For VT100 emulation (if you're using and Atari with Ice-T or other VT100-capable terminal), telnet to irc.atarichat.net, port 800. For ASCII dumb terminal, telnet to irc.atarichat.net, port 400. Thanks! Oh that is awesome! Can't wait to try that out in Bobterm. So far I can only get the ASCII version working via APE.

Lord Cygnus Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) UPDATE for YYZ BBS 6/15/12: (ASCII MODE Callers) If you are calling my BBS in ASCII mode, you can use Window XP's 'HyperTerminal' program and change 2 settings in it that makes it work perfectly with all the menus on the BBS. In HyperTerminal settings, select VT100 as the 'Terminal Emulation' and in the ASCII Setup tab under 'ASCII Receiving', tick the box that says 'Append line feeds to incoming line ends'. When you log onto the board with these settings, just push 'Return' at the first prompt, then select 'N' for no line feeds since HyperTermnal will supply the line feeds automatically. You will discover that everything functions normal in ASCII mode on my board with HyperTerminal's settings this way. Of course, for the better effect, log on in ATASCII mode to the board for the custom title screens and menus! Atari terminal ATS2.0 for PC or any Atari 8-Bit terminal programs with ATASCII mode work just fine with this BBS. telnet: yyzbbs.no-ip.org -=[Lord Cygnus]=- (SysOp) Edited June 15, 2012 by Lord Cygnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I cannot get BobTerm to work with my current APE setup. It drops characters, regardless of what I have the baud rate set at. Sort of sucks, because I cannot view any ATASCII screens on the real machine. Maybe I will have better luck with my Lantronix box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stephen Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 try ice-t.. I use Ice-T. I didn't think it would do ATASCII - just ASCII and VT-52/VT-100. I will have to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the same problem... there is a fix which involves another version of BobTerm. Will get mine for you today or tomorrow. Mine is BOBT122.ARC and I tested it. it's OK - no dropped chars thru APE to my BBS. It will be tomorrow before I can transfer the file as I am getting ready to go out for the day.

+DarkLord Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Guys, I'm getting kinda worried about Greg (Doc Clu). Anyone heard from him lately? I know he's doing that overseas stuff - just haven't seen any posts from him in a while and he's not logged on to my BBS lately either. Hope he didn't take a wrong turn somewhere.

I know I need to get on more often. They had the telnet ports blocked over here for a while, and then they let up on that, and now this 118 degree heat is just wiping me out by the time I get off work. Sorry it's been a bit, was just thinking I need to visit my Atari BBSs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehehe, wonder if its a "dry heat" though? I used to live in Arizona and it would get 120 in the shade, but it was still a lot more comfortable than here in Kentucky, where we get many days with 90 deg. weather, plus very high humidity.

I think you can do this: 1. Start 2. Control Panel 3. Programs And Features 4. Turn Windows features on or off 5. Check Telnet Client 6. Hit OK After that you can start Telnet via Command Prompt, I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
