+9640News Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 When users were still able to call into my BBS, I had a connection/feed to comp.sys.ti as well through the fidonet/retronet network. I think Chris has it partially implemented on his BBS last I checked, but only with older content as he copied my content, but did not establish the up/down link.

+OLD CS1 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I need to poke technically. Are you using INN or another daemon? What is your uplink; free or paid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the nntp daemon I have in Solaris is not up to the task (does not support secure connections.) As well, since Sprint/Embarq/CenturyLink have long since decommissioned their news servers, I would have to find another up-stream for money. That is pretty cool you BBS guys are working together like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I thought you set up a NNTP server on thekeep.net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wierd_w Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) I dunno if my ISP offers NNTP or not... I should check. I remember once upon a time it was a standard feature of ISPs.. but that was aeons ago. EDIT: GIGGLESNORT!
