Anyone know or have an util to create filelists offline for /X ?? I know there are some utils but its hard to 'google' them

Chaeo · 10 January 2005, 03:43

You could try:

Any chance of a more step by step guide to how to get this working? I'd love to setup my old BBS again - I have the backups of the whole Amiga system at the closure date - it's the telnet bit I will struggle with.....

I'm on email if anyone prefers not to humiliate me in public with my lack of basic knowledge

Chaeo · 11 January 2005, 17:27

I'm struggling with nightshift work myself at the moment, so my replies will be slow. Are you going to do your BBS in WinUAE?

Methanoid · 11 January 2005, 18:59

yes, WinUAE...

Chaeo · 13 January 2005, 18:59

You know, for the life of me I can't get WinUAE to behave, every time I set something up it ends up trashing my BBS partition.

Methanoid · 13 January 2005, 20:34

In /X Elite mode: "That's cos U R a lamer!!"

Chaeo · 13 January 2005, 20:38

haha it's doin' my head in. I think I'll just have to write it out here, what I think the answer is, and hopefully someone has a stable setup to make it work. I'll write some stuff down tomorrow. That is, unless I can convince you all to buy a new A1200, PCMCIA card, network the whole thing - just for me? Didn't think so.

Edit: Okay, since my WinUAE is acting up, this is all guesswork. I don't know how AmiTCP will interact with the WinUAE bsdsocket emulation:

Download and install this:

http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/pub/amin...TCP-bin-22.lha

You'll have to create a new drawer for it, or the install procedure will dump everything in your Sys: directory. During install you can probably skip installing drivers and entering real IP's/hostnames etc. Don't have AmiTCP run on Workbench startup.

If that went without problem, download and follow the included instructions:

http://www.aqvx97.dsl.pipex.com/amitcp.zip

You'll need to create a new modem for node0, call it anything you want, using the following tooltypes:

MODEM.INIT=ATM0S0=0 (those are zero's)
MODEM.RESET=ATZ
MODEM.ANSWER=ATA
MODEM.RING=RING
MODEM.OFFHOOK=ATH1M0

Default modem settings should be okay for Fame/System-X.

If you don't have luck with that, you'll have to tell me what went wrong and we'll try and figure it out.

CRiMSON! · 14 January 2005, 23:57

Winuae BDSocket won't work I guess, because you need to assign a 'real existing' serial/telnet driver and this ones is built-in..
And don't forget to put TELNETD in the node(x).info ..

Ive got another problem, how do you change the HD sizes ??? /X always says that there's less or no more space available to upload, even if there's more as 20 gig free space available? Where do I change this, or is this not fixable because of the current HD standards?

Chaeo · 15 January 2005, 00:23

Check that your conference icons point to the correct upload directory, then check an icon called DRIVES, the tooltype(s) in there tell /X which hd(s) to use, if it's wrong you'll get that message.

Methanoid · 03 June 2005, 14:24

Did anyone ever get /X or SX or something running? On Amiga or WinUAE? I have my BBS backup from 12 years back but it seems my friend who did it used a PC and it didnt set the Pure bits and Script bits and stuff like that. Hence it does not want to run. If I could have a look at someone else's Amiga setup I could have a historically accurate BBS back up.

After that I might see if I can get it working via Telnet or something. Might be fun to open an Amiga BBS again.

_ThEcRoW · 04 June 2005, 03:17

A Amiga BBS??? Go for it methanoid, it´s fantastic that today already exists people who like bbses.
I sure will frequent the board!!!
Ahhh these were the days......

P.D: I remember some time ago that setting up a bbs under winuae for telnet access is possible. If i get the info again i will tell to you.

Chaeo · 11 June 2005, 06:54

Got yet another "new" harddrive yesterday, so my Amiga will be back up and running again. As I said in private, Methanoid - I'll give you a link in the next few days to an archive of my /X 4.12 once I've been through the current BBS setup to remove personal user passwords/messages. That's if you still want it. I'm questioning whether to bother continuing with AmiExpress since that upload problem never went away and it's really bugging. Right now I don't know what else to try out, short of DaydreamNT which seems to be net ready, but the beta release is pretty old.

Methanoid · 11 June 2005, 22:24

DDNT author offered to make an effort to fix any bugs in the old code if I found any... so might be worth a bash Chaeo?

Chaeo · 12 June 2005, 05:42

Yeah, I'll begin on it later on and let you know how it goes.

Edit: Can't even get it to start - keeps saying it can't load a library, even though the lib exists, the assigns are all made. Plus if you look on the DDNT website and try and click the bugreport links, they link to c:\\mydocuments or something
