Mystic Island BBS running on telnet port 23 {at} mysticisland.strangled.net

Just after I posted this I started digging around for more info and came
across his videos. I currently just finished 3 of the videos on connecting to
a message network with Mystic BBS and they have been fantastic so far.
Typically I try to avoid YouTube videos and look for text guides but his
videos are top notch! Straight and to the point and broken up into easily
digestible parts.

I am currently going through the fsxNet tutorial and can at least see echomail
processing inbound/outbound via mutil and fidopoll.

Once I make sure fsxNet is properly working I will move onto connecting with
Netmail/FidoNet and more.

 CS> I hope this is some help to you, and anyone else who has needed the same
 CS> info but has yet to ask for it =)

Very helpful thanks Christian!

I'll update as I make more progress -- for now I have the fsxNet message
groups hidden until I can make sure everything is stable and sorted.

One question I do have and maybe he goes over it in the later videos but how
often should we run FIDOPOLL and MUTIL for import/export of echomail as a
best practice?
