]Glad to see we still support 300. Keybd cable pin broke fon my regular

machine and while getting around to a new cable assy decided to unlimber

my OZZIE. D'wanna fuss with hooking up the external modem so I'm using

it to Ward via chinet, but I suspect he'd like to take a vacation from
|
|
fussing with it. I'm not so sure that we should continue to provide

it since it is available on many BBSs all over the place and CBBS is
|
|
not, as Ward frequently points out, a download type bbs but primarily
|
|
intended as a discussion board.

We used to keep the old Sonka list, but he quit maintaining it, and

I didn't restore the old copy after the "big CBBS crash" of June.

My notes say that the Stillwaters BBS at 769-4608 has a nice list,
|
|
with a name something like CBBSmmyy (Chicago BBS, month-year e.g.
|
|
when I first learned of it, it was CBBS0489). It will be a zip or arc.

Board supports 2400.

to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: STATE OF BBS'S TODAY
|
|
|
|
Ward...I am trying to finish up a magazine article (free-lance) on the state
|
|
of BBSing today...particularly the problems which system operators now face-
|
|
from viruses corrupting programs, from law enforcement which seems to be
|
|
looking at the BBS as the harbor of illegal activity and cases you may have
|
|
been following where telephone and long distance companies have lashed out
|
|
against legitimate BBS systems.
|
|
(One example: in Oklahoma and Texas, the local phone company is trying
|
|
to charge BBS operators the expensive business line monthly fee regardless
|
|
of whether the BBS is commercial or not...closer to home, Telcom USA, a
|
|
long distance provider, recently prevented its customers from connecting
|
|
with the Protecto/Computer Direct BBS in Chicago because it found that
|
|
some of those suspected of gaining illegal long distance usage were
|
|
calling the Protecto/Computer Direct board.
|
|
|
|
Specifically, what I would like from you...as the "father" of the BBS
|
|
system...are we finally in an era where it is going to be impractical or
|
|
impossible for the hobbyist to operate a BBS? Are there so many problems
|
|
inherent in the telecom community that you would advise against starting a
|
|
BBS system?
|
|
|
|
If you could answer these questions and give me what you feel is the
|
|
future of BBSing I would appreciate it!
|
|
Thanks,
|

|
|
to PETE RETZBACH re: R/TERMINAL HELP
|
|
|
|
It sounds as though the most likely source of your problem is miscommunication
|
|
between modem and software in terms of the TYPE of codes they're sending
|
|
to each other. I'll assume for the moment that your modem is a true "Hayes
|
|
compatible" and the Procomm is set to expect that. If so, remember that
|
|
"Hayes" modems can be configured to send either NUMERIC or "English" codes.
|
|
If your modem is sending and expecting one but Procomm is set for the other,
|
|
such things as recognizing carrier simply won't work. If you're not sure that
|
|
the software and modem are "speaking the same language," I'd suggest a
|
|
careful look at your modem literature to see how to set up the hardware for
|
|
numeric codes and try that. If there still are problems, take a good look
|
|
at Procomm's documentation involving modem installation. Quite a few
|
|
settings are involved, but just ensure your curent settings (which you can
|
|
determine by using the ALT-S menu, then select "modem options" submenu)
|
|
match what's expected by your modem, per its manual. Good luck.

This is my first call since CBBS was back up. Unless I missed a log-on

Doing "Q;42000" yielded no new msgs. However, after about a dozen trial-and-

error guesses with "R;<num>;+" (substituting <num> with various numbers) I
|
|
eventually found 8 or so new msgs. Where <num> was a number prior to 42000
|
|
no new msgs popped up. Where <num> was greater than 42009 missed all new
|
|
msgs too (being too high). But I eventually locked into all (?) of the new
|
|
msgs....Seems the index between "precrash" and "postcrash" msgs couldn't make
|
|
the leap. I suspect, though, that my user record should point past the
|
|
problem area next time....Sorry to hear of the problems over this way,
|
|
which Alex Z. kindly advised folks over on my board early on.
|
|
|
|
BTW, prior to the crash you'd kindly offered a couple of DTP files for my
|
|
examination of their structure. I dunno if you've gotten to them, if they
|
|
(and possibly a msg about them) were trashed along with other stuff or you
|
|
just haven't had time. Again, no rush; but if the offer still stands, the
|
|
files would continue to be useful.
|
|
|
|
Kind regards.

|
|
|
|
Well, Randy Suess and I may have invented BBSs, but were never into file
|
|
transfers that much - the only file transfers supported by any board I've
|
|
run were many years ago in an attempt to run a CP/M Users group "by BBS".
|
|
It is not clear what to do - I would surely promote shutting down the
|
|
"pirate boards" and confiscating the hardware - if not also fining the
|
|
operator. Perhaps we should look at it like we look at voice telephones-
|
|
the positive aspects so far outweigh the negative ones, the we aren't about
|
|
to stop using voice phones, are we?
|
|
As to paying business rates, that WOULD slow down a lot of BBSs - they
|
|
would have to become "subscription" boards, and that limits access,
|
|
especially to new users. With telephone companies already extracting
|
|
units, LD charges and other fees from users of BBSs, it seems unnecessary
|
|
to add the burden of being a business line.

I dunno what to say. There could be a bug in the summary file, but
|
|
I am unable to reproduce your problem. The summary commands all work
|
|
just fine, including r;*;+, etc. The only thing I can think is that I
|
|
skipped the msg #'s up to 42000, because I wasn't sure how many msgs
|
|
had been entered since my last capture, and I didn't want to re-use
|
|
any msg #'s that would confuse users. Sounds like skipping also confused.
|
|
If you do an o;-100 you'll see it kick right in. o;-60 still finds
|
|
some of the older msgs. The -100 is not "100 active messages", but
|
|
rather just subtracts 100 from the current "next" msg # and starts
|
|
the summary there.
|
|
No, haven't gotten to the DTP file yet - but am on vacation for a couple
|
|
weeks so should have time to get to it!

(y I am looking for opinions (both positive and negative) on

SUPERCALC 5 by Computer Associates. I have an older version of LOTUS and

do not have the necessary hardware to support Version 3. They (CA) will

the advertisements and demo disk makes it out to be? It seems to be

aimed at the user base that does not possess the the hardware for 123

V 3.0. I suppose my other option is to wait for 123 V 2.2. I know this

product has been around a while and the last issue of PC Magazine did an

Do you know what the RESTORE command is telling me when it stops with a

|
beep (goes to a C>) near the end of the 11th diskette of 15? I said
|
|
near the end because I looked at the other dataset with NORTON UTILITY,
|

and it showed 2 more datasets on the diskette. (I am hoping that I
|
|
interpreted it reasonably correctly.) I could not find any

explanation in the PCDOS manual. OS 3.3.

I think your restore command is "dying", i.e. there should be no
|
|
circumstances under which it doesn't give you a legitimate error
|
|
message of some sort. Even if it thought it was done, I'd think
|
|
it would do something like say it was done, and the beep is a total
|
|
mystery.
|
|
Try comparing the restore program you're using against one from the
|
|
distribution disk (the COMP command) to see if it might be in error.
|
|
Good luck!
