Subject: Hello FTN world from the Telegram world.
Hello August,
Hello FTN world from the Telegram world.
How are things in the Telegram worl these days?
Ttyl :-),
Al
Most of the time the gate/portal runs very smoothly. Trying find opportunities to get people to hop onto the basic chat echos to get started.
It would be great if someone did a tutorial on how to create the tgm
<-> ftn Gateway for Fidonet and other areas of FTN networks.

I'm sure that once Stas has it in a manner ready to release, it will
have such documentation as needed.
Currently, the Gateway runs through Stas's system, and links to echos
that he is connected to as the interest in such echos is learned
about, as long as the moderator of the echo is OK with it.
Okay. I wait for Stas make the tutorial. There are areas
that he doesn't echo and other FTN networks that could
benefit from it.

Stick around the FUTURE4FIDO echo. He's sure to announce more info
about the project there.

I read FUTURE4FIDO. Thanks.

I read FUTURE4FIDO. Thanks.Try to read some of his earlier posts. He mentions that there
won't be any step-by-step guide. It will require some coding
prowess to adapt the gate to match your own particular
configuration. The code is in perl. Thus, a *nix system would be required.

Wait, there are echo's that are fixed width?

You can do perl in DOS. I think there might be a couple of restritions there, but it's do able.

Thanks for that. I just learned something! :) i really enjoyed
using the unix-for-dos utils (a library of *nix equivalent
executables for the DOS command line) .. in the 90's. Depending on
the functions that the tg2fido perl uses: --[begin citation]--
Perl under DOS lacks some features of perl under UNIX because of deficiencies in the UNIX-emulation, most notably: [o] fork()
and pipe() [o] some features of the UNIX filesystem regarding
link count and file dates [o] in-place operation is a little
bit broken with short filenames sockets --[end citation]-- ..it
may or may not be possible in DOS.
.. it may or may not be possible in DOS.
I did say that I thought there were some restrictions. I'm
thinking even if the particular functions that aren't
available are used in Stas's bot, there could be a work
around for them.

Bad... Seems to be complex to a not programmer Sysop.

Yes. Will not be. This will reduce the likelihood of hooliganism and will only allow those who understand what they are doing to use this program.

This is not necessary now. The program has its own configuration files, which even contain short descriptions, and command line switches. In addition, it is no longer tied to a specific tosser and processes the PKT itself.

That makes sense, I guess. In theory, someone could abuse it and spam echoes I
suppose.

now, or technical node like 2:460/256. It works like a tosser.

Well of course. Any users of the Telegram side would have to be aware of the
echo rules.

That's interesting. I know you've mentioned that before, I just never pictured
it as a separate node itself.

possible that in the future I will make a full-fledged tosser out
of it, which will support the JAM base, for example. Then it can
be used in general instead of the usual tosser on any node, like
other BBS software.
