Do not rush. Not working yet.
I mean the whole concept of the gate. With my pc down, I can't even access the info for manual logins (via Netrunner) to a BBS. But with Telegram, I can be at any device and participate in some echos of interest.

Interesting. I actually saw this message here before I got the Telegram >notification.

Yes. It is useful

Yes. It is usefulEven the whole idea of just installing TgM on another device is a
simple matter to "activate" and all the groups carry over. If
BBSs has something similar (verification via email or txt) that
would get me up and running. The way it is now, all the login info
and pwds are inaccessible on the pc that is "down".

Unfortunately, as has been repeatedly told to me
elsewhere, the BBS message system doesn't work well for
using a single ID (point, user ID, what have you) from
multiple systems. You can log in from pretty much
anywhere, as long as you recall your info.
I don't think that's going to change real soon. Or if it's
possible without a full redo of the whole system.
Even a "recall login credentials" feature via email would be nice.
TB is configured to "always request authentication", but there is
no local file that I can access to decode what the pw is.
With Veleno BBS (the webpoint solution) the credentials are saved
in Firefox's "Saved passwords". That makes it easy to recall and
copy for login on a replacement laptop.

Any regular BBS logins, I'm hosed if I can't remember them, except the
one I use testing out Telnet clients. Any points or NNTP connections I have the emails confirming my set up information is saved in a folder
that can be accessed from any device.
I do think some BBSes at least do have a "forgot password" type option that involves email.

Yeah, that definitely is a nice feature.
I guess you use the cloud for that? Even a copy of the
credentials stored in a gmail folder could work.

selling point for a BBS. Without it, the user might just decide
WTF and not bother.

Yeah, that definitely is a nice feature.I'm now preoccupied copying the Firefox login creds for some of
the online web resources I use for the bookshop for placing
orders. What a horrible task. That, on top of other things I need
to do today is driving me up the wall. ...All because in iddy
biddy fan decides not to cooperate. :( I may muster the courage
to disassemble the laptop and at least try to clean the fan and
add some lube later.

they're actually the email folder. I use a couple of different webmail type services. They're handy.

It's either direct email, or a message tp the sysop, who can contact
you via email assuming email is in your profile.

So you use the laptop for work?
I should have had the decipline to "store" the various creds in ONE
online place. I guess I simply put too much faith into the hardware
to not break.

you use the laptop for work? That T60 laptop (my only laptop at the
time) was the machine I carried around to do computer support work
(using a mobile dongle to get internet) for at-home visits. Along
the way, I adapted it to working at home to finish bookshop database
things (MS Office Acess). It is configured so that all I have to do
is copy the database file back and forth from a USB stick that I
carry between shop and home. But with the T60 down, I don't have an
@home pc for that. I have MS Access on an another desktop stored at
the shop, but I don't feel like lugging that whole thing home and
rearraging my workspace at home to use it. I opened the T60 last
night to remove the keyboard to expose the fan/heatsink. But it
requires more "screw"ing around to get to the fan. Not fun for me.
If I can motivate myself, it would be worth a try to clean and lube
the existing fan (unless it is an unserviceable design) ..and maybe
get back online before the new replacement fan arrives in 2 weeks. I
have a T540p from February.. but I never got around to moving the
salient progs over to it. When the covid thing hit, I had to wonder
what's the rush. --- * Origin: ----> Point Of VeleNo BBs (http://www.velenobbs.net) (2:333/808.7)
I actually wish TB had an Android version. That's always
been my favorite email program.

supplied an actual real email address. I find about 10% of new
folks do and the rest just put junk.
I had a very bad habit of not making backups for a long time. And
then would experiment with various software and crash my system.
Same kind of thing.
Yes, but I don't experiment with my pcs. I treat them as appliances
and expect them to work. Even if I *did* backup the T60 contents,
there would be no option to restore it anywhere else anyway. :( I
purchased PCMover Professional a few months ago with the idea of
migrating my whole operation to the T540p, but I never followed
through. I'm already witnessing the inconvenience of not having my
speccial programs on the T540p. (AnyAudioConverter, Audacity,
IrfanView, etc..) What a pain to find and reinstall from scratch.
One thing that PCMover promised is migrating my licensed copy of MO
Office 2007 - that is the main thing really.
It's a holiday Monday here, so I may get the courage to disassemble
the T60 and dig out the fan. Never did that before and I've never
cleaned and lubed a fan. --- * Origin: ----> Point Of VeleNo BBs (http://www.velenobbs.net) (2:333/808.7)

That's interesting you call pcs an appliance. I saw the same
expression earlier in a totally different conversation.
I see computers, phones, even applications for them as tools. And I
want to see all of the options for my tools. It might involve
swapping around hardware configurations, or testing new software, or trying to use software in a way it wasn't necessarily designed for on equipment it wasn't made for.

Ok.. Maybe appliance is not a good term. My T60 has grown into a
quite a customized machine with all the progs that I need. I sure
miss them while I am using the T540p right now. But I don't
fiddle with (drivers, config, etc..) making my pcs do anything
beyond the norm.

Your experimentation, although noble, is not something I would
even attempt with the T60. The closest I've come to messing with
normal operations on the T60 would be live-CD boots of a linux
distro that I am curious about. On the T60, I can Hibernate the
current Windows session and boot something else from CD or USB.
