Windows SyncTERM Installer
For those of you who would like a simple way to get syncterm installed
in windows, I have created an installer for it, you can download the
windows setup file. This will give you the option of setting it to
your default telnet handler. Once you are done, you can
telnet to Roughneck BBS, and play all the classic bbs door games.
Download SyncTERM Setup
for windows, which will setup your default telnet handler, and give you
a directory entry for this bbs. For other operating systems, you should
visit the
SyncTERM Website.
Telnet to Roughneck BBS
in order to play all of the classic bbs door games you love. We have a
lot of them setup to play. SyncTERM is the recommended telnet terminal
for telnet bbsing. Download and install the windows terminal above.
Accessing This BBS
Okay, I haven't mentioned this in some time, but you can now create
an account through the web interface, as well as access this site
through Telnet (which will give you a classic BBS style), NNTP (allowing
you to use a newsgroup program, like Outlook Exress or Thunderbird, to
access the message areas on the bbs.), and IRC (giving you access to
chat with other people through a regular IRC client, such as XChat or
mIRC)
NOTE: This site works best with Firefox...
For those of you that don't know, if you don't have bbs email setup to forward, you can use POP3 to check your email with your BBS Username and Password. This will pull both internet email, and bbs email directly. If you desire IMAP4 for bbs email, let me know... For SMTP, use the same server listed for your ISP.. :)
The BBS's message bases via NNTP using a standard news reader, works great in Outlook Express, and pretty good in Mozilla/NN7. If you need help setting up for the BBS's NNTP, let me know. Would like to see some more message activity, especially in the local areas (rdbbs.*), using a news reader is MUCH easier than the old qwk-style readers (which are also available). I am still hoping to get this website, for the BBS up and running, may put up the newuser, login, and messages/email up before I get the chat done.
