• Need any Help with Ele?

    From Martin Kazmaier@21:2/148 to All on Fri Oct 11 13:13:00 2024
    I'm not exactly a pro, but I have been running it for quite some time. As
    long as you don't need help with Linux, I can probably assist.

    Ok Marty,

    I know you have been using Elebbs for a VERY long time and other than PC
    Mike, you are probably the only one who really knows it.

    So, after spending a weekend on Maxmus & AracaOS, I have decided to give
    EleBBS another try.

    I was using EleBBS back in the late 1990s/early 2000 when I switched to
    MBSE because it was Linux based that I could manage from anywhere in the
    world.

    I have downloaded Ele v0.09g for OS/2 with the intent of installing it
    to ArcaOS 5.1. It will be fidonet & FsxNet connected, and running doors.

    My personal approach is FrontDoor v2.26, FastEcho, and Binkd.Does this
    sound solid?

    Then for the Filegate feed, I was looking at using Allfix.

    What are your thoughts/advice/recommendations?


    Thx,
    Phil

    That should work. Some people have problems with sio2k and os/2
    though.
    I'dsuggest IREX instead of Frontdoor, personally. It should still beregistrable, and the os/2 version isn't too buggy. If you're using
    binkd
    andfastecho, you really shouldn't need a front end, at least I don't withwindows. Allfix works great for me for files as well.

    Sorry for the dupe, this is going to your user name.

    Once I get it installed & have more time, I become an active user on
    your board. ATM, life is a little busy & crazy...

    I've got the latest os/2 binaries at shsbbs.net, via ftp, https
    (eleweb or ftelnet), ssh, telnet or wss (port 999).
