Hello Owen!
Friday January 14 2022 16:49, you wrote to me:
If you remember when I was given the node number I did say that the
BBS would be available every evening 7 days a week, 18:00 to 09:00,
see the emails to confirm this. Also you have the wrong port address
stated in the message, it should be 26643 and not end with 34.
It is ppbbs-26643.portmap.host:26643
OK, I have changed your entry see here :
,9,Paranormal_Panorama_BBS,Hull_E._Yorkshire,Owen_Evers,-Unpublished-,300,XX,CM ,IBN,INA:pbbs-26643.portmap.host:26643,U,TSJ
This says operating S=18:00 J=09:00 with hopefully now the correct port #.
It was omitted, sorry my cock up.
26643 is NOT the port on my pc that I use as i am on CGNAT and dont
have a public IP address, I port forward that to an open port on my
pc. In one of your emails you say you only need to poll my BBS if any
on hold exceeds 20 days, this has never happened. I have only set up
BINKp because I read in the echo that you was asking for it for crash
mail. again this will use port forward to my pc. Sorry for any
confusion in this as I thought all was set up and working as per your
last email said all was working.
I should point out that you are the ONLY one using that port
address
so VC> is there a real reason to do so as the rest of us use
different ports
for each to maintain security.
I have not had any security issues, possibly because I am behind CGNAT
so no public access via IP, only access is what I have set up.
Advise how long your system will be on limited service and what
the hours are (based on gmt/utc) so I can update your nodelist
entry.
BBS times have not changed, 18:00 to 09:00 7 days. If this changes I
will inform you.
Let me know if this is all ok.
Yes, fine now that you have reminder me, Thanks.
With the timing information in the nodelist at least from next Friday my system
will not have issues sending you files/echos etc assuming you want them and have requested them from my system.
Every month I send out notify messages for files and echos (one or more each) that gives lists of available files and echos and lists of what you are connected for not that all downlinks get echo Z2REGION25 which covers the state
of the my system and any scheduled maintenance where the system will not be available 24/7 and any other information that might be useful.
Please set you system up to receive and pass it on to yourself.
Traffic is normally very light 2 - 4 messages per month.
