![]() Please try one of our other access lines. It could say anything, but the general idea is to notify the caller that the line in in use or busy. One of the really neat features of this TelBBS program is that if a caller tries to connect to a node that is already in use, the Telnet server would send off an ASCII text file that would display on the callers screen. Telnet Connection to Node 4 on the BBS: 192.168.1.5 port 3003 ![]() ![]() Telnet Connection to Node 3 on the BBS: 192.168.1.5 port 3002 Telnet Connection to Node 2 on the BBS: 192.168.1.5 port 3001 Telnet Connection to Node 1 on the BBS: 192.168.1.5 port 3000 In the end I had the following lay out.Ĥ instances of TelBBS. So, I downloaded and configured and troubleshot many issues till I finally was able to get the setup working. The program just received the incomming telnet data and sent it out through the serial ports to the host BBS system. I contaced the author of the program and he said that the program can work with Commodore, Atari, Apple IIE, and even old DOS PC based computers. The way it worked was that a modern PC would receive the incomming telnet signal and then send the data out it's serial port through a null modem cable and to the Commodore 64 running the BBS. I found a program called TelBBS which was written to allow old Commodore 64 BBSes to receive telnet connections. Ok, so I searched the web for some type of program that can do this. The BBS then does its usual CONNECT and the end user logs in and can access the BBS the same as if he/she dialed in back in the old days. The BBS should then receive the signal from the Telnet Server PC and think it is a modem connecting. I need a program that will allow the Telnet Server computer to receive incomming telnet connections and then forward them out through the connected serial ports which are connected to the BBS computer via Null Modem Cables (serial port to serial port connections between the BBS PC and Windows Telserver). In case the above AMD is too fast for a connection between it and the 486. The following is the second PC that I have which I can use if necessary for a Telnet Server. : 4 High speed Com Ports via a special PCI 4-Port High Speed Serial card. ![]() I actually have two PCs that can run as the Tel Server. Second, is the PC which will run the Telnet Server. : Wildcat MultiLine v4.22 (10 Nodes, Only using 4 though) : External Parallel CD-Rom, Multiple 250MB Parallel Zip DrivesīBS Package. : 4 High speed Com Ports (2 built on board, and a 2 port ISA Serial board)Įxternal Storage. Hopefully someone here might be able to help me by pointing me in the direction of a program that may be able to perform the functions I need to get my DOS BBS accepting telnet calls. I'll then explain my issue with trying to get telnet access to my DOS BBS package. What I'll do next, is explain the software, and hardware that I purchased over the last year, and also built for this project. About a year ago I felt I had enough of an idea to create my new BBS and have it feature many options and interesting concepts that would warrant the time and effort to begin work on the system. I guess I should mention up front that I am a retro computer user and I still have my old Commodore 64, Atari 800, and Amiga computers as well as various PC Compatibles (Compaq Portables, Tandy systems, etc.) from 8088s - Pentium systems. Over the last few years I've toyed with the idea of trying to re-create my old BBS and have it accessible to the Internet via telnet access. I used to run a DOS based BBS back in the early 90s.
