Have anyone else here thought about reviving BBSing? You see, this method of communication would work great on low-bandwidth networks, like meshnets. There's BBS-software that is still developed, pic related is from the official BBS of x/84.

Does BBSanon need any help? I'm kind of wanting to do a BBS myself, would probably be better to have more than one. Share them with the txt boards too would be a good idea.

The message bases are the forums. You post shit there. If you want to reply to someone, you select that person's post and press the button displayed.
Really, it's pretty easy. Just read the shortcuts and whatnot.

nmap only sees the SSH port, but ssh still insists that the name or service is unknown. Fucking wierd since traceroute appears to reach the destination.

Right, I'm out of ideas. Traceroute looks good, except for the domain name.
It sounds like a DNS problem. Flush the cache and wait for another 24h, post if something changes.

Oddly enough, SSH tends to be unstable for me as well.
I suspect a problem with cryptlib, maybe due to it being on an ARM platform. Although I hate to say it, please fall back to telnet for the time being.
Regarding telnet:
You're trying to telnet into the SSH port. Telnet is 2023.

lol fugg, yeah, you're correct about the telnet, works with the correct port, thanks bbsanon :D
I'll try the telnet later today, but yeah, ssh or telnet-tls would be ideal.

Hey everyone, bbsanon here. Was gone for training.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure it's cryptlib being unstable. I don't know why just yet. I'll try to come up wih something, perhaps a SSL server tunneling straight into telnet. Right now, it seems stable though.
Any other ideas are welcome.

Tried that in linux, get a 113 error after it says connecting, searching online for 113 error gives you links to sql,netflix,etc, it's a very common error number apparently. The site is also no help. tried youtube but it's just spics going through the happy path of "itjustwerks", 0 config
man file is also bare bones.

Are you using the pre-built binaries, or compiling the source yourself? I remember some odd stuff happening on Linux, but I don't remember what version fixed it.
You can also try something like Qodem instead.

I ran several tests:
- Connecting via telnet from a remote location or from LAN works.
- Connecting via stock ssh or PuTTY from LAN works.
- SSH-connections in general from a remote location seem to be unstable.
I have no idea what's wrong. If DDNS were the culprit, telnet would probably screw up as well. Same for general network issues.
>>51969
I'll run additional tests using syncterm.
Thank you, anons, for your patience and support. So far, it's quite a ride, I suppose issues are part of the nostalgia.

I think this fits in really well with the oldnet thread >>52592 - Its a way to explore an alternative to the modern "Social Web" with all of its bloat and corperate serveilance. I am intrested in altnerative communities as well - I am looking a lot into hidden services (Galaxy3, Torum,…) and considering exploring I2P, Bitmessage, usenet, mailing lists (cpunk.org) and now bbses.
There are two ssh based "imageboards" out there that I have frequented before but losts information on : einchan and something like "cyberbyte" which had a curses based menu system and was much more polished than einchan. If anyone has links I'd appreciate it.

BBSanon reporting in real quick. Roommate perished and I had shit to sort out - financially, emotionally and a fuckton of paperwork. Also, had to move out _real_ quick to prevent debts.
The piece of shit SoC died and, by extension, Retro Sprawl is down and out. For now.
The thing is, I can probably get my greasy mitts on a dirt cheap server. If I do, I'll buy a domain to go with it and dedicate it to internet days gone by. BBS for sure, maybe even give you guys 5 MB of webspace (no PHP or something like that) per user. You know, like in the old days of ISPs.
Sound good? If so, what else would fit with the theme?
