You have some setting wrong in net2bbs.ini then ... disable all things like lookup and such.
Don't mean to hijack this conversation, but with how slow BBS's are now a days. You could use something like dosbox with the serial settings and just port forward to your machine from your firewall.
Run it like the old days?
Unless there is reasons to do it outside of Dos???
... If at first you don't suceed, you fail.
