Getting a BBS and Modem Working!!!!! Message-ID: <1991May2.074644.47647@cc.usu.edu> From: slmt9@cc.usu.edu Date: 2 May 91 07:46:44 MDT Organization: Utah State University Lines: 22 Hello to all the netters out there in netland. Anyway to get serious for a moment I need some help. Anyway the question is this. I am trying to set up a BBS here for the local amiga users. I have gotten both the TagBBS and the EliteBBS. But have had problems with both of them. I got the farthest with the TagBBS. For those of you that don't know what this is it is a BBS system that was written in '86 I think, it is simple but that is all that I am looking for. Anyway when people try to login to my system they get the Connect 1200 message but then the BBS never gives them a login prompt. No matter what they type nothing ever goes across back to them. Now the big question: Is there a dip switch that needs to be set a certain way on the modem for the BBS to be able to answer and let them login? Can Anyone offer any help at all? Thanks, Joshua SLMT9@cc.usu.edu p.s. even if you only have some thoughts or hints then please let me know!!!!
