AL>Hello Daryl!

Hi, Andrew...

AL> DS>   It's an ARIS TG862G/CT.

AL>OK.  I've never had any problems with Arris devices.

  Marc Lewis came in via Team Viewer, and did some workarounds, but he got the 
BinkP deal on 24554 to work...and even sent a test netmail packet.

  So, unless I have thunderstorms in the area, or my power or internet is out, 
I should be online. However, with tornado season starting soon, the "offline 
days" may outnumber the "online days" for awhile.

  I had heard that when they originally built the apartments where I live now 
(built over 40 years ago as a prototype), to save money, they didn't install 
grounding rods. Well, they apparently have grounding at the electric meters, 
but no place else. :P

AL>Also check to make sure that TCP port 23 (Telnet) is forwarded so that your
AL>users can get to the BBS.

  Port 23 was working fine, and I've got NetFoss and Net2BBS set up to catch 
the port scanners...or if I'm at the computer and see someone trying to logon 
with things like "admin", "root", ".com", etc., I drop the connection, and add 
the IP to the "kill list".

  I'm using the VADV-PHP website interface for the BBS (which is running GT 
Power under telnet), so while the BBS does NOT have anonymous FTP, they can go 
to the files area on the website, and download items that way.

Daryl
