What it is?

nRk-NET is a Synchronet Elite Message Network, and as far as I know
the only one that is specifically for Synchronet..we may eventually
move our setup to other systems (when I feel like it), but for now
it's Sync only, sorry!

By elite, I mean anarchy, hacking, virii, cracking, etc.
once you Apply, I MUST call your BBS to check it out and approve it
for NRK-NET, any attempt otherwise to gain access to nRk-NET will be
your IP banned on dark dreams.

nRk-NET is NOT nRk, Just because you get approved for the message bases
does not automatically make you a member for nRk, to become a member of
nRk, please telnet to darkdream.zapto.org and find out on the bbs
exactly what is required to become a member.

Interbbs? Sure! once I figure that out ;)

Ok, this is a crude manual since i'm new to all this, but setting up your
bbs for nrk-net should be a snap!  I have the steps listed below as to how to
setup the network

First off, CALL DARK DREAMS at darkdream.zapto.org and upload your
application titled yourbbsname.app to the main uploads directory, that
done await my e-mail... after I create you a QWK account on my BBS, do
the following...

1. Enter Scfg
2. Click The Message Areas Option
3. Hit Insert to add a new network
4. Name it nRk-NET for both long and short names
5. Go ahead an enter the base you just created then click import areas
    Go ahead and choose subs.txt (Synchronet)
6. Now that that the Sub-Boards have been imported enter the Sub-Board system
    And Start on general discussion, open it up and click on advanced options,
    don't worry about network options  yet, Click on the option that says
    QWK Conference Number and hit enter, then type in 5000, after that is done
    Exit General Discussion and place the appropriate numbers listed below in their
    Appropriate Sub-Boards:


Synchronet Configuration for DOS v2.30              Sun Mar 04 2001 07:55 pm

             NRK-NET Sub-boards           

5000  general disucssion
5001  Flaming Base
5002  general hacking
5003  unix hacking
5004  internet hacking
5005  BBS hacking
5006  general anarchy
5007  total desolation
5008  anarchists politics
5009  phreaking discussion
5010  virii writing/discussion
5011  BBS scene
5012  warez/abandonware
5013  active FTPs
5014  nRk announcements

7. Now that that is finished go back to your main SCFG menu, make sure you
save the changes

8. Now enter the Networks then QWK Packet Networks, Then Network Hubs and
hit insert, then goto System ID and do the following:

System Id: DARKBBS

9. and then put in this command:

Call-Out Command Line: *QNET-FTP DARKBBS darkdream.zapto.org <your password>

(if you have an older version of synchronet that uses the old batch file
system, then unzip oldsync.zip and read the instructions at the bottom
of this doc...)

10. Then Click Networked Sub Boards
And Hit Insert..click nRk-NET when the message groups comes up
then as before start on General Discussion and hit enter when it asks
for conference number or hub put 5000 then add all the other bases using
the same numbers as listed above.

11. Make sure you go back into your message area subs in SCFG and
    set duplicate CRC checking for each sub to 5000, not the sub number
    itself but the number 5000.

12. Now everything should be configured correctly, you can change your
callout time but make sure it calls out at least once a day, if you want
to be really safe go back to your message bases /Sub Board/ network options
and make sure QWK is set on YES, I will be making a Hub List Soon

- OLD SYNCHRONET SETUP - PRIOR 3.10 -
- ONLY READ IF YOU HAVE A OLDER SYNCHRONET SETUP -


First off unzip the oldsync.zip file!
copy the subs.txt file to your ?:\SBBS\CTRL Directory
Then edit the darkbbs.bat file and put in your handle and password
exactly as it was when you logged onto Dark Dreams and your handle
has to match your QWK ID on your BBS.  If you already have an account
on Dark Dreams and would like your handle changed to reflect this
then email me at thedribble@sbcglobal.net
This done, Copy both darkbbs.bat and darkbbs.ftp ?:\SBBS\EXEC
now the hard stuff

8. Now enter the Networks then QWK Packet Networks, Then Network Hubs and
hit insert, then goto System ID and do the following:

System Id: DARKBBS

9. and then put in this command:

Call-Out Command Line: %!darkbbs.bat

(if you have an older version of synchronet that uses the old batch file
system, then unzip oldsync.zip and read the instructions at the bottom
of this doc...)

10. Then Click Networked Sub Boards
And Hit Insert..click nRk-NET when the message groups comes up
then as before start on General Discussion and hit enter when it asks
for conference number or hub put 5000 then add all the other bases using

callout time but make sure it calls out at least once a day, if you want
to be really safe go back to your message bases /Sub Board/ network options
and make sure QWK is set on YES, I will be making a Hub List Soon
