  • subs.lst question

    From Recon #1@126.Wwivnet@11:1/101 to All on Thu Oct 24 17:15:27 2024

    Hi there, maybe Mark or Rush, or expert WWIV'ers ..

    If I create a network sub on WWIVnet, how does it end up on the subs.lst at the hub? And how do others know it exists?

    Thanks for any help w/ details.

    Mark can send a subs ping which makes your BBS send back the subs you host, then it'll be included in the next network update.

    There's a question asked by the BBS when you make a networked sub that says:

    Make this sub public (in subs.lst)?

    If you answered yes here, the next time Mark sends out a "ping" for SUBS.LST, his system sends out a main_type 20 (0x0014) -- main_type_sub_list_info /minor t to all ype 0 to all
    nodes in WWIVnet, your BBS network software will see this and will send back info about your publicly available subs using main_type 20 / minor type 1.

    This gets collated by Mark's system and gets sent out as a SUBS.LST using main_type 9 to all nodes in WWIVNet.

    So all you really need to do is answer that question with a yes. Well, that's the technical part of it.

    The other part is "advertising" your new networked SUB in one of the existing WWIVnet subs so that Sysops can SUBscribe to your sub.

    Hope this helps,

    If you need me to send out a subs list ping, I can do that. Just let me know.

    Thanks!
