Hello Dumas!
On 04 Jul 2024, Dumas Walker said the following...
I am getting the following error. I have confirmed that the node being called does have a proper INA entry. I also added the internet address to the IFC flag, just in case, but I am still receiving this error.
Any help would be appreciated.
The parser/grammar of ifcico is very limited, so any additions to the IFC flag *could* cause it to be ignored, leaving dial-out as the only option, and, as you noted, there is no phone number available.
Not sure why one gets exit status 7 instead of 8 ("Phone number unavailable"), though...
I get the same result here if I try to poll manually ('ifcico f105.n2320.z1'). :-/
I wrote a response to this but don't see it now!
I checked for some additional documentation but did not find any. I looked over the command line options for polling out and decided to try a couple I had not been using. Come to find out, if you are going to poll a node via the internet instead of dialup, you have to give ifcico the information. It won't read it from the nodelist.
So, using this command line resulted in a pollout from my test system to my BBS:
ifcico -t0 -acapitolcityonline.net f105.n2320.z1
The "-t0" might not be necessary but I am leaving it there since it works this way. ;) The "-a" tells ifcico what internet address to poll. If you leave it off, it will revert to trying dialup even with the "-t0" present.
Now I just need to test it with some actual mail to send between the two nodes, but at least I know it will poll now, and that 1:2320/105 can properly answer and log the incoming call.
Your attempt at a poll got me thinking about checking into the command line options some more, so thanks for trying that!
