Hello, Rick.

Replying to a message of Rick Van Ruth to Sean Dennis:

 RVR> html docs for explanations. It will take some time doing it all but
 RVR> you won't miss bits and later wonder why something is hard to change
 RVR> or why is not working.

Yes, I can see that and that's what I'm doing.  MBSE is actually
well-thought out and easy to set up.

 RVR> Hmm thats something to do with your terminal character set in linux.
 RVR> Do you have TERM=linux in your .profile? Most default to this. Or
 RVR> are you talking logging in remotely?

Both.  Either if I log in locally or remotely, I see the garbage.  I can
post my .profile if need be/

 RVR> Umm tried that.. didn't get the mblogin screen :-) Are you sending
 RVR> the request to mblogin?

No, but I don't know why you couldn't log in.  I've got three other people
that got in there...

 RVR> Well, rather then use ssh if you are doing stuff remotely, i would
 RVR> suggest just assigning a different port to telnet in your
 RVR> /etc/services file and thus allowing your inetd.conf to retain
 RVR> correct information for telnet and mblogin.

Until I get this BBS up and running, the telnet is going to the OS/2 box as
I do have regular callers.

 RVR> I couldn't login at all under ssh, not even using "bbs"
which is the
 RVR> default new user account creation for mbse.

That's odd, really odd.

 RVR> Oh and don't forget your dosemu for the dos doors :-)

That I'm trying to learn.

Now, here's something that you or someone else might be able to help me: I
am wanting to port my Pascal doors to Linux.  I have Free Pascal installed
and have written a unit to get the door.sys drop file, but I'm not sure
what/where to write the output to.  Do you use it just like a standard
program or do you have to specify where it's going to?

Later,
Sean
