  • Clearing Houz Update BBS

    From Dumas Walker@21:1/175 to MINDSURFER on Fri Aug 8 10:32:34 2025
    string when connecting to that modem (CONNECT 19200/ARQ/V32/LAPM/V42BIS). it i
    a 57600 USRobotics modem, but due to voip limitations max speed should be at around 30000.

    As an aside, what voip provider are you using and getting connections at
    that speed? Thanks!

    Howdy,

    ok, as i understand you, a modem phone number within a nodelist makes sense only if you use some old mailers like frontdoor, mcmail etc pp?

    i thought using the sexpots driver would make connections possible to the bbs and the mailer, but i guess binkp is not made for that.

    Right, I dont think BINKP can - it was designed mostly for TCP transport, not serial.

    That said, it reminds me that there was some discussion about having BBS information in the nodelist (in this net anyway).

    Normally a nodelist is for machines to read (ie: mailers), so there hasnt been anyway to decern people info (BBS address for people) and machine info (ie: mailer address for mailers).

    While "ITN" and "IFC" is normally for mailer over TCP there are a very few folks actually doing that these days.

    I kinda like the idea of having BBS lists in a list to transfer (which is why I have the BBS list and BBS info in clrghouz), but no standard way of sharing that so that its of use to others.

    While synchronet has the bbslist using a DATA echo, I could look at pulling that out and populating clrghouz as well as sharing it with other BBS's - is there a BBS mode/method for other BBSes (I guess mystic being the most common)? It might be nice that that gets auto updated with all BBSes during mail/file transfers?

    yep, the build in bbs list of synchronet is kind of nice to have. i can't talk for mystic sysops, but i could imagine clearing houz to send out an additional file in a certain format on a weekly basis, that a (yet to be made) fsxnet bbs-list modul could pick up from the filebase and present in a customizable, sortable and searchable way to the bbs user.
