Thanks for replying. I guess the smarter way would be to assign a port, even if I don't [or do] make it public, and telnet from 20forbeers.com TO 20forbeers.com.... it'll work all the same, I think. And, for those who WANT to and are saavy enough to see it, users can telnet into TALISMAN only if they so chooose.

LOL - most likely, no one will ever see it. HA! Although my board is actually gaining users and eyeballs, I sometimes think a lot of what I do for the board is more for ME than any users. :P 

You know, I logged into the PIMP [MeaTLoTioNs Phone in my Pocket BBS] today and helped get a One Plus cell phone to 10 full nodes. It was one of the best moments of my weekend. LOL. BBSes are a lot more to me than just FidoNet posts and LORD.

LOL - I currently run a Pi 4 1gb model; but I was just talking on another FTN about what it'll take to switch to the 8gb. I think I'll do that this week - some sysOps don't think I'll have to change ANYTHING... I have a couple 8gb laying around, I just thought I'd have to do a bunch of IP stuff.

Anyway, THANK YOU apam... for the reply and all the suggestions.
