Whew!

Spent a fair amount of time configuring machines and installing
software but I now have the ViaSoft Support BBS running full time on one
POTS line and from time to time I'll bring up the second POTS line
which both have USR Courier 56k V.Everything modems. For the most part,
I'll be using the second line for testing.

The board is running on two Dell XPS 500/550 (P3) boxes using 120gb
SSD's (DOS 6.22 only allows me to get to 8gb). The server is
a Dell Dimension 4100 with 512mb memory and runs Novell v3.11 (100 user)
with a pair of 120gb SSD's using 10BaseT (10mb) NICs. All of this is
sitting on APC UPS's just in case.

Of course, ViaMAIL! sits in front of both lines and accepts both human
and mail calls (1:104/57). I've been adding DOS specific files to the
BBS and I'm sitting at over 11,000 files with plenty more to add. The Registered Product doors won't be available until everything else is
completely working and after I've had a chance to refactor them.

As I'm sure you can tell, I'm trying to remain old school here by being
a purely DOS based BBS with no Telnet capabilities. There's just
something missing with a TelNet connection -- oh yeah, modem tones!
Besides, I'm not real keen on subjecting my web servers/firewalls to
the constant pounding of TelNet script kiddies.

I'm bringing the board back up in support of all the original ViaSoft
products as well as the ones I'm working on to re-release after all
the compilation and doc updates are complete. So look to see a flood of
some 20+ archives in the not-to-distant future. The board will also
serve as a test bed for these programs to ensure they'll work as
expected.

If you have time (and a modem - MagicJack works but not much faster
than 16.8/21.6), give the board a call at 303-953-0568 and say hello.

Regards,

Joe Martin

I shut down my POTS line due to problems with Magicjack (or VOIP, not sure which) though once I can see myself clear to bring back an ATT line I will rez POTS and WC! Stay tuned! {chuckle}

As far as I know, the VIA_SOFT echo was shut down some time ago and I'd
just as soon let it die -- never liked the spelling. I spoke with Janis
awhile back and we'll be creating a new one (VIASOFT_SUPPORT I believe).

With the holidays and setting up a Novell network for my BBS not to

I'll be doing that shortly.

Now to your question, since I have my hardware/software setup working,
there's no reason not to evolve the SL version as well -- same codebase
after all.

Hope that helps. FWIW, I have found some issues that I'll need to
address before the next release (both WC and SL).

ooooh! A NOVELL network. What a "Novell" idea ;)

Back in the day, I used to be certified on the v2.11 stuff, so I figured
I'd get a version of Novell close to the time period that we used to run
the support board. So v3.11 was available and I bought a copy off eBay.
Next I had to get the server installed, hunt down network cards and get
them to work, find drivers etc. No small feat, but interesting.

Perspective now -- Having 800mb of RAM in a Novell server was a bit odd
to me (our support board only had 16mb in the server at the time) so
matching the hard drives to the memory was another gotcha but I'm
through all the rough patches. 10mbit on the NICs back in the day was
pretty fast, not so much today. I have to wait a little over a second
just for ViaMAIL!'s .OVR file to load (1.6mb).

Now to your question, since I have my hardware/software setup wor there's no reason not to evolve the SL version as well -- same

Hi folks...

I had an experience today I thought I would share with you.

When logging into Wildcat! v4.20 this morning, I received some netmail
messages and was replying to one which sent me off to ViaADDR!, the
netmail 'door' which happily allowed me to accept the reply address.

Upon recycling back to the BBS, Wildcat! detected I was out of time
and promptly kicked me off stating I had exceeded my time limit.
Obviously that wasn't the case (I had only been on a few minutes) so the
whole thing sounded way too familiar.

So I ran up my PATCHWC v3.00 program and checked the Epoch date on the WILDCAT.EXE and sure enough, it was set for 1919. Since today is the
first day of 2019, this was the exact reason PATCHWC.EXE was created
for.

So I ran up PATCHWC.EXE and changed the Epoch date to 1930 and ran it
against Wildcat!'s executables. Subsequent attempts at replying to
netmails in Wildcat! were now successful and life is good.

Long story short, if you run DOORs (of any kind) and have not patched
your Wildcat! EXEs, or if your Epoch date was set to 1919 (as was mine),
then you'll need to run PATCHWC against it and use at least 1920 as the
Epoch date. If you need a copy of the program (it's free), let me know
and I'll make it available for you.

Joe Martin

Also, you know Santronics has PX/WINS v7 available now, right? :)

ViaADDR! of course. You'll need to modify your FIDOENTR.BAT as well to
launch VA.EXE with the appropriate command line parameters.

Yeah, I saw your earlier message.

Good. As it turns out, Robert may be experiencing that very issue with
the Netmail Door (WC4).

In answer to your question, no I don't. That work stopped years ago
(90's) and I never revived it. I did work with Allen Prunty recently on creating a tosser for WC5, which at this point is on hold until he has
more time for testing. Presently it tosses/scans (JAM msg format only)
and packs to the Binkley queue just fine.

It's actually kinda nice as its written to be easily extensible for
other BBS formats. ie: WC5+. Unfortunately, it just not there yet for
WC5+. But it sits in the background waiting for mail to arrive and automatically processes it. Like I said, kinda nice.

You were and still are. I've been planning on re-releasing this stuff
and am getting much closer to doing so now that the BBS is back up and
running and that the DOCs have (for the most part) all been updated.

Now once all of that is finished, we'll resume work on it. It would go
faster if I was already retired, but alas, I still have another 5 years
before that happens. :-)

Added 1:116/18 to the echo and sent areafix request to Janis' system.
Hopefully we can get the ball rolling. :)

I will add it to ViaMail! here and also add it to Wildcat! (oh, and add
it to 1:116/17 as well <smiles>).

Upon recycling back to the BBS, Wildcat! detected I was out of time
and promptly kicked me off stating I had exceeded my time limit.
Obviously that wasn't the case (I had only been on a few minutes) so the ->whole thing sounded way too familiar.

So I ran up my PATCHWC v3.00 program and checked the Epoch date on the ->WILDCAT.EXE and sure enough, it was set for 1919. Since today is the
first day of 2019, this was the exact reason PATCHWC.EXE was created
for.

So I ran up PATCHWC.EXE and changed the Epoch date to 1930 and ran it ->against Wildcat!'s executables. Subsequent attempts at replying to ->netmails in Wildcat! were now successful and life is good.

Long story short, if you run DOORs (of any kind) and have not patched
your Wildcat! EXEs, or if your Epoch date was set to 1919 (as was mine), ->then you'll need to run PATCHWC against it and use at least 1920 as the

Epoch date. If you need a copy of the program (it's free), let me know
and I'll make it available for you.

I requested a copy but never received it???
Can you send it to sysop@techware2k.com

Thanks
