I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. I'm the sysop from Jensenclou based in Fresno, CA and a new fsxNet node. I've spent most of my life buildi large networks at AT&T, Cisco and Zoom and connecting millions of people, an I think it all came from my burning childhood passion for BBS's.

Awesome... I tried to reply to your request to join Fidonet, you should reach out to RC10 so you can be listed in the right Net.

Thanks for the reply. Happy to say I did get my nets set up successfully. I have been spending time with areafix and subbing to forums. It's been fun getting reintroduced to FTNs and seeing how the mailers have evolved over IP. It's neat that BBS's have integrated the binkd processes - improved over chasing fossils and EMM memory during my Binkley and Maximum BBS days.

Love to hear some tips on BBS systems and nets in general. What is everyone running on their end?

Dare I say BinkD was revolutionary... but Internet Rex was also responsible, along with the acceptance of IP addresses in the nodelist. Planet Connect offering FTP feeds back in the day for the first time was amazing.

D'Bridge and Renegade since '93 and now in a Vmware environment, but I was also a huge fan of TBBS and Searchlight... along with OS/2.

Oh I have bad memories of Binkley.. haha binkd is easier, but there's not
much in it... At least the protocols and the boards have stabilised now
over the years, so it's not too tough getting a basic binkd setup.

I'm running Talisman on Linux, fsx and happynet (with a couple of others planned). I ran Mystic about 5 years ago, but it's too complete and
polished now and I like tinkering with new software :)

In the bad memories dept, I have avoided The World's Original FTN this
time around. FSX is, dare I say it, populated with much nicer people.

Avon's done an excellent job over the last few years making it a great
place to hang out, and it seems to have become the default FTN now.

I'm running Mystic for BBS and tosser as it made it easy to get a "jumpstart", but decided to use binkd and ifcico for most of the mail transfer parts (except QWK mail transfers for DOVE-Net which I let Mystic handle) so that I won't be completely tied up to a certain BBS software for that.

Back in the days I was using RemoteAccess, FrontDoor, GEcho and ALLFIX, though.

Best regards

Happy to say my nets are online and tossing. Certainly appreciate the help and guidance as I work my way in the IP BBS world. :)

Waaaaat? happynet is still around? Is it only for Talisman sysops? If not hook a sysop up! :)

I'm not sure tbh. I'm running Talisman and never thought it was just for
us. Talk to apam.

It's a pretty quiet place and there are only 3 subs, so maybe it is just
for Talisman testing..
