Subj : Blam BBS List question

Hi All,

For those using the super cool BLAM BBSlist script, and node list addition
(latest combo version available that I can find,) I have a question ...


I recently changed my telnet port and have discovered a couple of things with
the script:

1.  When I call other BBS's and "Edit" my BBS listing, there isn't a specific
selection for "port" just for "telnet address."  So obviously I select
www.theunderground.us:10023 ..

When I then try to telnet from that BBS to mine, to test, I notice that every
BBS that has the script installed automatically tries to connect to port 23.

Is there a work around or fix this this?  Mine seems to work just fine, but
then again I'm basically logging on locally, and calling myself, so not a
good test.  I thought the script had a feature to edit the port, but not when
calling other BBS's and editng my entry.  So I tried deleting my entry, and
reentering my BBS info .. no port option.

Lastly, I notififed all network admins that my port change however have not
necessarily had all change the port.  I'm curious for those using the node
list telnet feature of this script, if the nodelist looks for a port or not? 
Is it necessary for an admin to change it?  I had one state that their
network doesn't really look at that, yet said admin also has the mod
installed and I can't connect -- defaults to port 23.

Just trying to get my calls working again.  Running into the same issue with
the BBSList web site where I have to "White list" someone or something prior
to my new port address working.  

I understood this to be an easier process then I'm discovering.  At the
moment one would think my system is down.

If anyone knows the work around or has some clarity I'd appreciate it.


Thanks


Doug
