  • BBBS Calling BINKP

    From Robert Wolfe@1:261/20 to All on Sunday, February 11, 2018 20:20:24
    Hi all!

    I was wondering how to get BBBS to actually make a binkp CALL OUT? I seem to have been told this one time but that was a while back. Is there a special format for the BBBS command line to activate the WFC screen so that an outbound
    binkp connection can be done?

    Hi Robert!

    There is a whole section in sysop.gui for OS/2, just type "bag sysop.gui" and then type s for search, then type OS/2. I just took a look at that section and
    it seems to work the same way the linux version does, that I run here :)

    So I think you'd use "bbbs 1 2 TCPIP" to start node 2 for TCPIP for outgoing calls... for incoming calls you'd use bbbsd?

    Maybe one of the OS/2 sysops here will have a better answer :)

    Take care,
    Janis
