Fame Bbs
I've overcome a few problems getting FAME going, like conferences (you seem to only get one shot at making them), the horribly complicated access levels, and even got it so I can telnet from Windows into WinUAE and "call" the board (just manually type in telnetd.device instead of serial.device, with telnetd.device put in l: ).. But I've run into a real problem..
I've got the filelistings and files from a couple BBS backups (links posted here in some other thread) but how can I get those recognized in a conference in FAME? As an aside, even if the file-checker worked (another problem, but not as major) and I locally uploaded them, it's several gigs and would still be a TON of manual adding descriptions even if 90% had file_id.diz's. |

For all none of you interested... A little update... I gave up on FAME for a lack of being able to get even filelistings working. Even after getting a hold of someone that has a good grasp of FAME, it seemed there was something beyond hope. Though, having said that, getting it to use telnetd.device never was a problem.
I switched to AmiExpress, and once used to it, got it set up with little problem, though telnetd.device would connect, but not work. This I finally fixed by adding 'pacerate' to the conf so my AmiTCP:db/telnetd-device.conf reads "23 3 pacerate 19200 255.255.255.255" (port 23, 3 total connections, slow down for amiexpress to 19200 baud, let all ips connect) So although I can't actually get the BBS accessible to the outside world, it's at least possible to call AmiExpress under WinUAE via telnet. |

Well as an ex-sysop I'd be interested to know how you got on and to connect in due course.. I never quite got around to re-activating my BBS (yet!)

If I don't type this up now, I'll probably forget more. (I'll probably forget something already..)
On the WinUAE side of things, I imagine just bsdsocket.library needs to be checked. Though, other stuff like JIT and a ton of memory, etc etc are probably advisable if not needed. With AmigaDOS, you need telnetd.device in devs: (the one I'm using reports version 1.-1..) Pretty sure it was from the amitcp.lha archive elsewhere on the forum. There's a shareware version on Aminet, and that one isn't it.. I'll attach it to this message. You also (probably) need to mount the fifo-handler (38.4 is on Aminet, though isn't that just a part of AmigaDOS? Huh.. anyhoo...) telnetd.device needs to be configured with the file AmiTCP:db/telnetd-device.conf with the line "x y pacerate 19200 255.255.255.255" (assuming you want to allow all (255.255.255.255) ips access...) x is the port (telnet is 23) and y is the number of connections. (I haven't tested past 3, but more might work..) pacerate is important for AmiExpress running on a fast WinUAE. It doesn't seem necessary on (some) real Amiga(s). (I know of a guy running AmiX on a real Amiga and doesn't need it..) AmiExpress just needs node(x)/serial/internal_unit.def tooltypes to be: serial.device=telnetd.device serial.baud=19200 serial.unit=x (x being node0, serial.unit=0; node1 serial.unit=1 etc) node(x)/modem/modem.def tooltypes: modem.init=ATM0S0=0 modem.reset=ATZ modem.ring=RING modem.answer=ATA modem.offhook=ATH1M0 These are important because telnetd.device 'emulates' a modem with those Hayse commands.. And why pacerate is needed.. It sends a fast, unending string of 'RING <date>' over and over.. AmiExpress sends ATA because of the 'RING' etc.. Without pacerate, on a fast Amiga/WinUAE it goes so fast it clogs AmiExpress which just drops connection.. (my theory anyway). Note: internal_unit.def and modem.def can actually be named anything. AmiExpress just finds whatever file is in node(x)/modem or /serial For zmodem, I didn't do anything in AmiExpress just defaults, though only two Windows term programs would work, one was shareware, the other is mTelnet here: http://ozone.eesc.com/ TeraTerm for Windows wouldn't work, perhaps because it doesn't support automatic zmodem. I'd then just connect to 192.168.1.2 (my Window's IP address) Considering that works, I don't see why an outside connection wouldn't.. |

Did you set the nat rules on ur firewall? If you can telnet to ur amiga(emu) inside ur lan (tried localhost?), then it must be NAT. Btw, u should use fame (i do), as it supports 64bit adressing, which can be helpfull. I also was a /X fanatic 4 years but switch because of this reason. |

I gave up on FAME and Ami/X and settled for Zeus. It's still being sold and supported and has the most features you could find for an Amiga based bbs. Check it out for yourself. telnet://miserybbs.com
