Lantronix and basic BBS’s

[moonlight_mile]

Hey all,

  Figured I would put this here instead of in the bbs. I have been playing with an old basic based bbs on real hardware. 
 

However, for the life of me I can’t seem to remember the settings for it to take incoming connections and get it to talk to the bbs program. 
 

i know I had this working as at one time I was testing Alcatraz on real hardware. Granted it isn’t a basic based program but it worked. 
 

Has anyone ever had any luck running a basic based bbs with a lantronix device?  I have an MSS-100.

 

Any help or advice appreciated. 
 

p.s. I am going to try it with the wimodem as soon as I get a db25 connector for the cable I am trying to make.

The settings for the MSS-100?

 

Keep in mind, for the MSS-100, you need the null cable first of all (that's usually the 1st mistake).

 

But beyond that, there should be a thread here in the club that shows all my MSS-100 settings for SFHQ.  The real question is whether it was one of those Basic BBS's that used the ring detector.

Yes I had the null modem cable. No it wasnt a 1o3o bbs. 
 

I found a thread over on vcf that I think I used way back when, at the time I tested express pro on the lantronix. I think what I was looking for was “change telnetdest serial” but even this morning when that was set still no luck. I have a wimodem so I am going f to play with that.  But I will

have to take a look at your thread anyway.

Here is the link to the post. It was very helpful for bbs express. FoReM and the basic bbs…. Notsomuch.

I'll help with the project after dealing with real life issues.

What are we trying to do and what isn't working?

I kind of abandoned the idea. We managed to get what I was trying to do working in Altirra. 
 

while I have your ear were you ever able to remember the name of Don baby’s and Craig margolies bbs names were?
