Turbo-Torch Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I keep getting No Answer when trying to log in. Using WiFi modem on my Tandy 1000EX. At first I tried the address in post 1 ending with 520, then I noticed 1040 in your sig. Still no answer. Checked out your website and it shows the BBS is online. Address on website just shows darkforce-bbs.dyndns.org and that doesn't work either. I have no problems signing in to other BBSs. Am I missing something?

Okay, hang on - I was on earlier today and it was fine. Will attempt to logon right now... Okay, logon went okay, no problems. It looks like 3 people have logged on since 3:52pm (not counting myself). So it's: telnet: darkforce-bbs.dyndns.org port 1040 RAW mode is needed (not telnet). Please try again and let me know how it goes. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had to put a colon before the port #. Very nice and impressive system, I look forward to exploring it more. 👍 Even though I'm a PC guy since the 80s, it's cool to be back on another Atari based BBS...we had dozens of BBSs in my area, but for some reason only one that used an Atari (not counting the 8 bit systems that kids ran after their parents went to bed). I need to see if I can find the name of it, it was huge and one of the last in operation well into the 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share Posted September 2, 2022 Glad you got it sorted out and welcome aboard! There's an option from the Main Menu to check out other Atari BBS's, both 8bit and ST versions if you are interested. There's actually been a bit of a resurgence lately. I think the WiModem232 has helped a bit with that, it's a wonderful device. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for calling and good luck!

Post some details and we'll try to get it sorted out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 @DarkLord Thank you for running these, can't believe I won! Sorry for not responding, its' been a crazy week getting stuff finished for PRGE (not as bad as Alberts!) and I haven't been following the forum so much so didn't notice! Good luck to all for future competitions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
