Free PEST mouse adapter!

[+DarkLord]

Folks, Alison Challis, of PEST fame has graciously offered to

donate a PEST mouse adapter for the monthly prize giveaway

at The DarkForce! BBS.

 

So this month, just for you Atarians - we are giving away

a PEST mouse adapter!

 

Remember, it only takes 1 call each month to qualify, but

the more times you call, the more chances you have to

win.

 

We use a small program called "winner" that randomly

picks a name from the list of callers each month...

 

Good luck to all!

Hi. What seems to be the problem? Can you post the exact text message you get when trying?

 

Are you refused, or is it because it can't be found?

 

Yesterday was quite a busy day, we had 10-15 calls last time I checked. So its working.

 

Keep in mind, its a single access point, so only 1 user can get on at a time.

 

Please let me know and I'll try my best to help you any way I can.

 

Thanks!

I get

Connecting To bbs.darkforce.org...

 

The cursor just blinks at the end of the line and the telnet window just closes within 5-10 seconds.

 

I was able to log in 2 days ago.

For me it worked today.

This is what I now get from a windows command line

 

H:\>telnet bbs.darkforce.org

Ah...you are hitting <return> a couple of times at the blinking cursor, right?

 

Some terminals show all the info some don't. My terms under linux actually

show a text message that says to hit <return>. Under some of the WIndows

boxes at work, they do not - like you said, they just give a blinking cursor. But

thats when you hit <return> a couple of times.

 

Hope this helps.

Here is what konsole under KDE/Linux shows when I logon to my BBS:

(every shell/console/term I've tried under Linux works like this)

 

[[email protected] darklord]$ darkforce

Trying 192.168.0.104...

Connected to 192.168.0.104.

Escape character is '^]'.

Press <ASCII> RETURN...

Although, like I said, under the Windows comps at work, I get nothing

but the blinking cursor. You have to hit <return> at that point to go on.
