I don't know if anyone is following my posts, but in one thread I posted that I couldn't get uploads and downloads to work, and in another thread, I mentioned that I couldn't even get the modem to initialize... Just to let everyone know I'm not crazy, here is how things are progressing.
If I run the IronAxe y2k mod the modem initializes fine, and I am able to connect at 2400 baud (after making some changes to the +.modem file) and everything works fine except the UD. In troubleshooting I found out that UD doesn't even work in local mode doing a file copy when using the y2k mod, but without running the mod it does work locally, which leads to believe that for some reason the y2k mod is messing something up. I can't test to see if it works remotely because I can't get a connection through telnet, as I mentioned in the post to Sysop Fox1. (oh yeah, added note, I'm using the MAX233 interface which I built from plans on petscii)
Other than the U/D problems the Riktronics BBS in going well.. I've modified it to have a different opening picture for each day of the week, and gotten rid of the annoying third question Image asks you when you log in, (last name, first name, dialing prefix, etc) because that bugged me... I think username and password is plenty, and New Users don't have to enter thier street address or phone number (because I don't need to know) and it doesn't ask for Baud Rate, because that it really irrevelant on a Telnet BBS. Things to do include trying to make wallwriter display more messages than just the newest (because someone asked me too) and changing it to display the last 10 callers intead of the last five, because one of my buddies who is testing it is upset because I call several times a night and he is never in the last callers list. I've even got a static IP address and a domain name, all I want to do is make the best BBS ever, is that so wrong??
Oh yeah, one more thing for the people interested in Image BBS, modifying the source for for Leif's BBS server to include:
Case comEventBreak ' A Break was received.
AddMessage " Disconnected"
Disconnect
causes it to properly disconnect, apparently instead of sending ATH or anything like that, Image sends a break? Whatever, it is working beautifully.
I don't know if any of this helps or if anyone cares, but there you go!!!
