I brought Supra 128 BBS to the telnet world! tfcbbs.com:6400 reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dcpanthersfan · 2019-03-07 15:56 Back in the 90s I ran Color 64 and then moved to Supra 128 because I wanted to take full advantage of BASIC 7 and the 128. My 158I caught fire so that ended my BBS days. Recently I got back into it and got in touch with the current owner of the brand. He supplied me with the last stable release version, version 4.6, which I modified to work with Telnet BBS software. So now it's up! It is running pretty much stock until I can be sure the telnet routines are working. For the last week they have been nice and stable. Please give it a visit at tfcbbs.com port 6400. I highly recommend you use CGTerm or another Commodore terminal to get the most out of it. I am going to be releasing some patches for it which correct a few bugs such as a minor Y2K/day of week issue, asking for age at random points and the telnet routines. You can read about the progress at color64.com/supra128.com. I would love to have more callers! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ebookit · 2019-03-08 02:09 I used Putty to telnet to it and it says connecting and then hung up. It did say Supra 128 phone system. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dcpanthersfan · 2019-03-08 02:46 I stepped out a bit and someone dropped carrier and it kernel panicked. It's back now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ebookit · 2019-03-08 04:25 CGTerm needs to be compiled. I'm on Windows and my Visual Studio trial expired. How do you compile it using free and open source tools? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ebookit · 2019-03-08 04:27 It went father and asked me to hit delete or backspace, I did and got some ANSI codes or something and then it said disconnecting and hung up on me. I got farther. I'd use CGTerm but it is source only. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dcpanthersfan · 2019-03-08 04:45 You can download a compiled version here: https://csdb.dk/release/?id=118137&show=summary ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dcpanthersfan · 2019-03-08 04:48 Weird. When in 40 column mode it crashes at random times but not in 80 column mode. It's running in 80 column mode now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- z80org · 2019-03-08 06:28 Photos and details about your BBS equipment please. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dcpanthersfan · 2019-03-08 14:25 https://i.imgur.com/5UAeku3.jpg Anti-clockwise from 9:00: Zip100 drive (partitions 6-9 on the LtK) 1581 drive Rear Admiral Lt.

I always wanted a 1581. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dcpanthersfan · 2019-03-08 19:01 I'm sitting with it nursing it today so if something goes wacky I'll be here to step in. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dcpanthersfan · 2019-03-08 19:04 When it was originally running in '92 it was the following config: C=128 1750 REU 1571 for text/help files 2x 1581s - one partitioned for system files on the root and xfers and messages in another partition The other 1581 was used for downloads. It caught fire. You can get some build-your-own 1581 kits. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ebookit · 2019-03-09 05:49 They keys don't seem to work in Windows 7. I see it was compiled in 2005. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dcpanthersfan · 2019-03-11 13:32 I am working with some guys (who know more about it than me) to get a new version compiled for Windows 10. I hope. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ebookit · 2019-03-12 03:57 How about Windows 7? All I see is the Github source code but the last binary was compiled in 2005. So I guess it works for XP but not 7 and above? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dcpanthersfan · 2019-03-12 13:38 I'm not sure about Windows 7. I am not a CGTerm expert in any way. I will ask the guys working on it if they can provide a more recent version. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ebookit · 2019-03-15 06:22 Thank you. I don't know how to compile it for Windows. It has a make file for Linux I think. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dcpanthersfan · 2019-03-15 14:54 I got it running on Windows 10. It's super easy: From this page: https://csdb.dk/release/?id=118137&show=summary Download the [win32 version.] (https://csdb.dk/release/download.php?id=147398) Unzip it. Then [download and unzip this.](https://csdb.dk/release/download.php?id=195627) It contains only a read me and SDL.dll file. Replace the SDL.dll file in the CGTerm directory. Fire up CGTerm. Press Esc for a menu. To dial us Press ESC-D then enter "tfcbbs.com 6400" (no quotes). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ebookit · 2019-03-16 04:04 I got it to work after rebooting Windows 7 and posted on the general forum. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dcpanthersfan · 2019-03-16 04:33 Please call and enjoy some late 80s/early 90s door games! And please post messages. I feel like Jeb! writing that.
