AL>Hello Daryl!

Hi, Andrew...

AL> DS>   It's an ARIS TG862G/CT.

AL>OK.  I've never had any problems with Arris devices.

  Marc Lewis came in via Team Viewer, and did some workarounds, but he got
the BinkP deal on 24554 to work...and even sent a test netmail packet.

  So, unless I have thunderstorms in the area, or my power or internet is
out, I should be online. However, with tornado season starting soon, the
"offline days" may outnumber the "online days" for
awhile.

  I had heard that when they originally built the apartments where I live
now (built over 40 years ago as a prototype), to save money, they didn't
install grounding rods. Well, they apparently have grounding at the
electric meters, but no place else. :P

AL>Also check to make sure that TCP port 23 (Telnet) is forwarded so that your
AL>users can get to the BBS.

  Port 23 was working fine, and I've got NetFoss and Net2BBS set up to
catch the port scanners...or if I'm at the computer and see someone trying
to logon with things like "admin", "root",
".com", etc., I drop the connection, and add the IP to the
"kill list".

  I'm using the VADV-PHP website interface for the BBS (which is running GT
Power under telnet), so while the BBS does NOT have anonymous FTP, they can
go to the files area on the website, and download items that way.

Daryl
