  • Misconfigured?

    From Ltning@VERT/ANDUIN to Mro on Sun Nov 2 17:21:00 2025
    Hola,

    not sure how else to reach you MRO, you left a message on my BBS saying it's misconfigured in a couple of ways. If you can find me on IRC (Ltning) it'd be awesome - certainly want to find out what's wrong!

    Also to talk to my BBS with SyncTERM you'll need to use RAW mode .. otherwise that captcha will get confused :-/

    Hola,

    not sure how else to reach you MRO, you left a message on my BBS
    saying it's misconfigured in a couple of ways.

    whatever, i do that to a lot of bbses.

    If you can find me on IRC (Ltning) it'd be awesome - certainly
    want to find out what's wrong!

    i'm on irc right now and i dont see you.

    do you think there's more than one irc networks possibly?

    if you're talking about the synchronet irc , deucebag bans me whenever i
    login.
    and every time i logged in there it was to report an issue. i just dont go there to sit there and idle like everyone else.

    Also to talk to my BBS with SyncTERM you'll need to use RAW mode .. otherwise that captcha will get confused :-/

    why dont you just fix it so it works? i have a captcha that works.

    I want to fix whatever I've done wrong. So.. :)

    I'm on efnet, libera, synchronet and a couple of private ones.

    Would love to. But I am running the last OS/2 release of Synchronet, which has no Telnet support at all. So that captcha is a LUA script running in Nginx, which acts as a stream proxy.

    So at the moment, with the tools currently at my disposal, it's the best I can do. If you know a LUA telnetd implementation, I might try to use that to improve the handshaking. I've found a couple but they can't be used in this context.

    well it looks like my syncterm by default tries rlogin on any port i provide
    in the command line. i have an hourly bbs thing on my irc and telegram
    channel and i just click it from my client and visit them that way.

    if i add an entry and choose raw it works.
    i tried to get on but got disconnected because it was 'busy' https://i.imgur.com/7XhKe5F.png

    you might want to put info in your login screen about changing connection
    type to raw.


    and for the other problems, perhaps you could run a telnet daemon on another computer on your network and forward it to your internal os2 bbs?

    if you ran a linux or windows version of synch in a vm and forwarded it to
    your os2 system you would open up a lot of options for security and
    scripting.
