WN> My bbs isn't accessable via the Internet. To do so, you'd need;
WN> 1) A Domain with either a 24 hour connection or an ISP that would dial
WN> your domain.
What about a Dynamic Domain, where the words stay the same, but the IP number
changes... (since my connection is killed when/if I were to turn off my
computer). I think BC Tel offers this, since they want to use the IP
addresses that are available, to the best of their capability.
WN> 2) A vmodem that points to your domain for people to telnet into it.
How do you setup a VModem in Win'95? Other then possibly NetModem/32?
WN> 3) Gateway software, assuming you'd want to receive/send mail via the
WN> Internet.
Something like IRexx does this, doesn't it? As well as ftp'ing for echomail
and/or interbbs games?
WN> 4) An Internet source for the mail.
WN> See www.fidonet.org
Yeah, there seems to be alot of sources popping up these days :) ... I'm
getting it locally right now from someone else that gets it via the net...
so why bother using my Inet account and setting up software if I don't
need to, right?
WN> Bob Juge would be the one to ask about this. He's got his set up for
WN> telnet via the Internet. He's running Binkley/Maximus under os/2 as I
WN> do I'm pretty sure. So, ADSL is available where your at? Not here yet.
WN> ISDN has only been here for about a year.:-(
Ahhhh..........! :) Now I know who this "juge" person is.. I kept seeing
these inet email addresses, pointing to @juge.com ... I'm guessing that this
is him?
As for ADSL, yeah its available in Kamloops, but I'll find out whether its
available at my HOUSE in about a month or so when they get to my name on the
waiting list to test my lines and see if I'm close enough to the central
office in town or not to be able to use it.
Tyler.
PS-I'm glad I never bothered looking into ISDN, since it seems like it only
has a half decent connection for using one or two computers browsing the net,
downloading, etc... but it doesn't sound like it would be good for setting up
any kind of high traffic web page, or bbs via telnet, or ftp site or
ything.
... To laugh at men of sense is the privilege of fools
