What I do know when I plan to have it off-line (for backups, etc), is open a connection to the Pi after I take the board down. Note that I have never gotten it to display the contents of the second text file "offline.txt". I then try to open a second connection, this second connection will get the contents of the busy.txt file (saying the board is busy, even though it is actually off-line). I would then open a telnet connection to the Pi, which would succeed. For example, I would have no program at all running on the Apple. What it does know- is if somebody else is connected to the Pi. It appears the Pi has no idea if anybody else is logged on to the BBS, it doesn't even know if the BBS is actually on-line. Hi 6502enhanced, glad you like the board.Īs for "scripts/busy.txt", do you mean how does the Raspberry Pi know the board is busy, so it will display the contents of busy.txt to the remote caller? That was a mystery to me as well as a few others. It might have something to do with me using a Raspberry Pi as a modem. (telnet port 6502) I tried to run verson 2, but could not get it to work (yet). (Hugh indicated I was free to give to anybody who was interested).ĭj's Place BBS (also GBBS Pro) is actually running at 9600 baud, but he is using a prototype version 2 of GBBS Pro. I could probably send you the hacked file if you wanted to try it. I don't know if Hugh is on this forum or not, he responded to my plea for help in the Apple II forum on. 4800 works great though, smooth as glass. He tried for 9600 baud, and it actually connected, but I could not get it to recycle after a caller disconnected, and I had to manually reset it. Hugh Hood hacked the external modem file of v1.2 so it supports 4800 baud. How did you get up to 4800bps? I'm having all sorts of trouble at 1200bps but I think a lot of problems would disappear at higher speeds. I lost interest in the BBS scene for a few months after getting frustrated with my own GBBS setup. Now you can run this file by doing “./get_SyncTERM.sh”.I'll have to jump on and try this one out, looks good skipper. Verify that this is now executable by listing the current folder showing attributes, eg “ls -l get_SyncTERM.sh” and you should see the filename now has the attributes “-rwxr-xr-x” To do this, run the command “chmod +x get_SyncTERM.sh”. Now save and exit your text editor, you will need to make this script executable. # Find out where Syncterm was installed echo "Find out where SyncTERM installed" which syncterm # Install SyncTerm echo "Install SyncTERM." sudo make install # To get full path src echo "Set st_path variable for the SRC_ROOT path." st_path = $(pwd | sed 's//syncterm$//g' ) # Time to compile! echo "Make SRC_ROOT with path: $st_path " sudo make SRC_ROOT =$st_path # Change directory to echo "Change into the 'make' folder" D = $(ls -1hrtd sync*/|tail -1|sed 's//$//g' ) cd $/src/syncterm # To extract tgz file echo "Extracting the source now." tar xvzf syncterm-src.tgz # To Pull source echo "About to download the syncterm application source." wget # To Install apps/libraries used to compile echo "Preparing to install relevant libraries." sudo apt-get install wget libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev gcc libsdl1.2-dev build-essential
