Mike Ehlert has had life catch up with him and hasn't been able to help with EleBBS and net2bbs. I'm using the following (copied from the net2bbs
window):

Debug: Read c:\ele\nf\net2bbs.ini
Debug: Cmd=c:\ele\elebbs.exe -N*N -H*H -C1 -B115200

It disconnects immediately upon connection. If I don't specify the baudrate, the bbs tries to initialize the modem until it times out. What could I possibly be doing wrong? I've tried v 1.14a, 1.25 and 1.26b, so it's definitely either not net2bbs or it doesn't work with my bbs. It's the win32 version. I'm willing to supply anything that could help get this working...

Debug: Cmd=c:\ele\elebbs.exe -N*N -H*H -C1 -B115200

This command line is telling EleBBS to use the socket handle *H on serial port COM1 for a call that's already connected to COM1... The -C and -H options are mutually exclusive.

If you're trying to use Net2BBS as a replacement telnet server, do not pass any -C parameters at all. You'll use something along the lines of:

c:\ele\elebbs.exe -N*N -H*H -XT -XC -B115200

-XT: Use telnet session on provided socket handle
-XC: Don't close socket at end of session (let Net2BBS do the cleanup)

You're also going to need to set the startup directory to the proper node directory. I believe Net2BBS can use the *N macro in the directory definition, so something like C:\ele\Node*N\ for the start path. You may need to manually create a directory for each node you're going to allow since you no longer have the Ele telnet server available to do this for you.

Thanks, it's working now!

That won't help me any, my BBS loads netfoss, not net2bbs. It's a win32 BBS, not DOS. Thanks for trying, though!

Sorry, I should have paid more attention :-)
