nah if you're referring to DMA connections? this is nothing of the like and besides DMA was being used by unix systems in the 80's what you're thinking of is having rlogin connections connect to a remote machine and send logon parameters, hell thats standard rlogin today with 3/4 of the code requir...

I'm glad to see that there is still some activity on these boards. I know this isn't a PCBoard site, but there really aren't any PCBoard sites left. Since I don't really plan to bring back Nostalgia BBS but still am interested in bringing a door game board on-line, something different than Synchron...

im working with nv right now on some serious mysql stuff where we can have multiple wg servers running on different machines all technically together, meaning users on server1 can talk to people on server2, right now it only works for paging but its a start on bypassing 256 user limitations.

So, I've done a lot of work with KVM (qemu), and its an excellent virtualization platform for _current_ os's. However, i'm trying to run Dos 7.1 and WG2 on it, and i'm running into a little snag. The board runs! I have networking, telnet accessibilty, and its quite usable. The problem is, whenever ...

added the rest of the game commands, all stock commands are now in the game, and what API is missing i have notations in the audit trail to remind me so i can go back and add it in. (this was done because some things had pre-requisites which were not developed yet). also added the player editing co...

off the main bbs vs a door server first are about the same with the the old inter-bbs games since they were single player games where you expended turns and played on a team. to be honest it would be easier for me to remake that game for wg than it would to make some kind of portal to play dos game...

SO there is somewhere out there where I can point the BBS to rlogin into and connect to a TWGS server and my users can play off the main BBS instead of going to the Synchronet doors server I have set up? The more options off the main BBS instead of going into a doors server the better. Would be nic...

umm actually no i spoke to the author last week as a matter of fact, he verified what everyone else has said that it will not be sold with the other HVS catalog however if the right deal came along he would be open to deal. tradewars is a sticky subject due to JP not wanting it distributed by anyon...

Thanks fot the response, but I do not think this will work. The Omnimall pages are Active HTML. The instructions for using secure web pages is not for AHTML :D You will want to run thru the config for secure pages and secure ALL webpages. Then run the setup for Secure Sockets. You may want to get a...

only other TW option i could think of is my Tradewars II port to worldgroup. it is based off of tw2-500t I think what you meant to say there is that TW2002 for WG/MBBS is "abandoned". Don't worry, practice saying it to yourself a couple times and it'll feel less dirty ;) Here is the login...

Check with Questman for registration, I think he may own the rights.

Stoneslinger76

your dramatization of the situation is pretty good :P i said in my post that with a little effort, people could make cracking modules much harder. anyways, my intention is to give people the ability to free up modules that are completely abandoned with no means to register. what they do beyond that...

I have a question about ssl and web Omni Mall. Does anyon know how to have Web Omnimall call up a secure socket for entry of credit card information when completing an order.

you can edit from either but only one element at a time, so like say 2 different users wanna edit items it wont allow it only allowing items to be edited by 1 person at a time but the other person can edit something else with no problem. No big problem, sysop's will be pretty much the only ones edi...

Is this project still ongoing? Yes Dspain is still working on it, he made several changes to the way his dev kits operates for output of various WG versions and some other changes. Last pmail he said he is getting close to haveing some stuff ready for beta testing. I will say pre christmas builds o...

Well I'm not sure because I haven't found any files, but I don't see any version of major tcp/ip for wg3.2nt because I'm guessing there was no longer a need for it by then? Plus I'm not sure my old mbbs reg code for major tcp/ip would work with any updated module... thats the problem I run into wit...

Stoneslinger76

Sounds like you should try switching to Vircomms ICO and see how it performs. Then you would be able to set things the way you want for WG and other programs can use defualt tcip as set in the registry. I doubt any changes to the Galacticomm ICO to include configuration options of ack's and other ad...

Wondering if anyone knows about WG 3.x NT variants and if there was ever some hidden option to disable Nagle's in worldgroup like you could back with vircom's tcp/ip package on the dos variants? I know I can edit this with a registry change, but was hoping there was some hidden thing in worldgroup ...

So lately I've been getting a lot of people asking me how to setup and run worldgroup and they all keep talking about getting these fancy raid5 arrays and how they will be needed to keep things going smooth in case of failure...

As I said if anyone needs or wants to try the client its available in the CLIENT file area. Demo users have full access to the file area.
