Old BBS Programs

Recommended Posts

Hey all, im looking for Carnival BBs Program, any collectors willing to part with a copy for me? Also, any rare or obscure BBS program would be appreciated.. Trying to get my BBS collection goin again..

 

Thanks for your time.

 

Also, im using the newest Atari800Win Plus, and im trying to get my old BBS to work thru Telnet/HyperTerm.. I can get as far as the program accepting the ring, but logs off shortly after, and I get a ATZ on the Hyperterm screen..

Spartados tries to load RS232 but fails.

If you enable the R:Patch. The RS232.com will fail to load, but the R: emulation handler will remain. This is because the emulator puts its own R: handler in the handler table every video frame... I think, if I remember correctly from looking at the sources.

 

So, it doesn't matter if the RS232 fails.

 

I believe that the emulator will transmit a "RING" and a "_CONNECT 2400" to the R: handler. Why the underscore in the "_CONNECT 2400" I do not know.

 

Good luck...

That's what happens when a HDD fails with your collection on it. I have a backup somewhere, just cant locate it.

Guess in my previous post I should have said Rebuild.

Hmm, okay...I still need to image about 100 floppies and go through those first.

But what I do have:

 

AT Keep

 

FoReM 26M

FoReM 26M2

FoReM XE 1.1

 

Oasis Test Drive

 

SJC Tele-BBS

 

The Keep (main file so far)

 

And a couple other AMIS (common) variations from Houston TX, S.P.A.C.E and another 1 or 2...

Hopefully, there will be more on those unchecked floppies :)

You are getting 850 Express and 1030 Express mixed up with BBS Express. Basically BBS Express had an initial version simply called BBS Express, and then there was BBS Express Pro, a complete rewrite.

 

The 850 and 1030 express programs were great terminal programs (probably the best out there at least until Bobterm came along). they were easily the most popular when I ran a BBS--almost all callers used some version of Express (terminal program). I think MPP users often used other stuff (though it seems they may have eventually gotten express too).

I believe we are on the right track. There would be a BBS Express for 850/Hayes modems, then BBS Express for 1030/XM301

Just for clarification, here are the BBS Express 850, 1030 and support disks...

 

BBS Express 850

BbsExp850A.ATR

BbsExp850B.ATR

 

BBS Express 1030

BbsExp1030A.ATR

BbsExp1030B.ATR

 

Support Disks

BbsExpData.ATR

BbsExpHLP.ATR

BbsExpSetUp.ATR

BbsExpShare.ATR

I see the share disk has my old Basic Detokenizer (Recover3,bas) on it :)

It had it's starting from some basic tools to unprotect basic programs and a token lister that appeared in Antic

Thanks for these, especially the support discs. I've not seen those before.

Welcome, after looking at those last night (after posting), I see that those were from my BBS "Atari World" when I was living in Redlands, CA. in the mid 80's :)
