Hello all. I'm a new SysOp on Synchronetbbs.org Doing my best not to "break" things. I'm poking are here. (I'm not fond of web stuff) looking for answers about my BBS on Synchronet BBS. Does anyone know where I can find Docs for the "Synchronet Management System) ?? Ok.. just thought I'd ask. Anyhooo I'm Steve. I hope to hookup with some BBS lovers here.

I'm confused? I see no way to telnet into the bbs? The splash page is not such? So again befuddled? (made an account you can pm me there)

Hi. I've wanted to set up a bbs since the 80s. Thought now might be a good time. Looking into the basics. Please be patient.

Where's the source code? Frotz is distributed under GPL v2 and I'm not interested in relicensing it under anything else at the moment.

Apparently I have to actually create the area: NODEDIF and specify the path where the area is physically located.
About : Fdn, haven't figure out yet..

Marisa et all, any suggestions ? Maybe you are using some other alternative to TICKIT ?

Any guidelines at all?

I have to confess it's taking me ages to put everything together.

Hi,

I am currently starting to use TICKIT and I just processed one tick file but I am getting the following:

The instructions for TICKIT are a bit minimalistic, so not sure what to do about that.

Otherwise, if any other TIC processor is better for synchronet, can you please advise?

Many thanks!
