anyone here familar with telegard and maybe a multinode setup? i'm having issues with gamesrv and telegard. I want to run 3 nodes. 2 telnet and one dialup. I have the dialup end down. I sort of have the telnet end down. I can only run one node dialup and one telnet. if I try more. gamesrv, telegard both crap out


hope to hear from someone

Umn, just a suggestion, use synchronet to host your telegard sessions, and
use SexPOTS to allow connection from dialup.. you can simply disable all
of synchronet's services, aside from telnet, and set the login.js to drop directly into telegard for that node...

I've got a little familiarity with telegard, I ran it as a multi-noded telnet only. But never ran one that was both dial-up and telnet. When it craps out, what error messages are generated if any?

there are none. basically it's just having node setup problems. keeps telling me there's no node defined. when I have telegard setup just fine. it's something to with the command line. i'm not passing some argument correctly. may it be in gamesrv or telegard itself. who knows thats the part I can't figure out. but I can tell ya my dialup node runs without a hitch. and so does ONE node for telnet. I just want a total of 4 nodes. 1 dialup 3 telnet

I ran Telegard on one of my earliest boards in the early 90's, but haven't touched it since then. Can't help you with the other stuff though.

I've heard a few folks talking about SexPOTS.. does this enable dialup capabilities with Syncronet, or is it a third party app that helps any
telnet app work with dialup? Just curious --

It's a Win32 app that will provide dial-up capabilities for any Telnet BBS, but will work best, likely, with Synchronet. :-)

Sam

it's a com port to telnet app. being written for synchronet.
i.e. when synchronet moved from version 2 to 3 the modem code was taken out, now some people wish to use thier modems again for dialups. so instead of jamming the modem code back in, they are making sexpots. it's a work in progress.

I'll set up a test BBS and see what I can come up with. You are using telegard 3.09 right with gameserv as telnet frontend.

AFAIK, SexPOTS accepts the dialup connection, and then runs as a proxy to a telnet (rlogin?) server... it could work with any telnet server afaik.. I think DM is adding niceties for synchronet specifically though.

Hi DM,

Yup, I've worked with mgetty before to create a dial-up server for my folks
to get online, but since they've moved to broadband plus I only have one
phone line now, I haven't had a modem line in about 4 years. It might be
fun to get going, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to put it into play... unless I had posted dial-up times (totally old-school - 10pm-7am [grin])

But fun to play with none the less...
