Yes but how do i do it??
Assign your BBS computer a static IP; open port 23 on your router and
point to
the computer with the static IP. That way, when a caller telnets to
your DSL
or cable IP, your router will bounce the call to the computer that's
been
designated to receive telnet calls (on port 23).
Go to www.netfoss.com and download NetFoss 1.0. In the README file,
there are
instructions on how to configure NetFoss to work with PcBoard. Net2BBS
is the
telnet server that comes with NetFoss. I bring up Net2BBS and it
reads the
NET2BBS.INI file that you need to edit for your configuration. When a
telnet
caller arrives, Net2BBS calls PcBoard with a batch file:
d:\netfoss\nf.bat /n*N /h*H C:\pcb\pcboard.bat *N
The NF.BAT file is:
=== Cut ===
@echo off
d:\netfoss\netfoss.com %1
rem ** If running a non-door32.sys system, add a " %1" to end of
above
line **
if errorlevel 1 goto end
d:\netfoss\netcom.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
d:\netfoss\netfoss.com /u
:end
=== Cut ===
The PCBOARD.BAT file is:
=== Cut ===
@ECHO OFF
CLS
SET PCB=/NODE:%1 /PORT1F:
SET PCBDRIVE=C:
SET PCBDIR=\PCB\NODE%1
SET PCBDAT=C:\PCB\PCBOARD.DAT
SET NODE=%1
:top
%pcbdrive%
cd %pcbdir%
if exist remote.bat REN remote.bat remote.sys
if exist door.bat DEL door.bat
if exist endpcb DEL endpcb
c:\pcb\pcboardm /file:%pcbdat% /C:115200
if exist remote.bat CALL remote.bat
if exist door.bat CALL door.bat
if exist event.bat CALL event.bat
if NOT exist endpcb GOTO top
:end
=== Cut ===
In PCBSETUP, you tell PcBoard not to use a modem but rather a fossil
driver
(hence the /PORT1F: on the 3rd line of the pcboard.bat file); you also
need to
tell PcBoard to drop to DOS after each call (part of PCBSETUP).
That's it. PcBoard loads with the command line "cP\pcb\pcboardm
/file:%pcbdat%
/C:115200 (the C:115200 tells PcBoard that the caller is already
online).
Works like a charm. :-)

Has ayone accomplished this?
Any PCBoard sysops left out there at all? ;-)
