If you don't do FB, you can probably find Sean in the FIDO OS/2 echo, and for sure you can find him on Micronet. I would try the MIN_COMP echo.
In addition, I will take a look at my DOS BBS in a bit and see what my settings are. I am running a DOS BBS using SIO2K, so the settings are a little different.

Believe I have the problems half figured out. Setup a 4.52 VM in VirtualBox last night. Downloaded SIO2K & installed it & configured it. Going to HARDWARE MANAGER...everything was there when I added nPorts=4
to the end of VMODEM.SYS in my CONFIG.SYS. This afternoon...will
install some piece of DOS or OS/2 BBS software on it & expect to see it p/u every modem. From there...back to ArcaOS to recreate it.

After using the VM of Warp from Sean Dennis... got an arcaOS VM set up. Using SIO2K...got it where everything is showing up in hardware mgr. Installing a test of TG/2...still getting errors with the INIT string...but the upper left window is showing modem activity. They are there!
Have the next 3 days off...so am going to get the system setup & kick out some tests. Will have my fingers/toes crossed it goes well!

Can't get the darn to boot. Some process is preventing it. So since
you have made progress with ArcaOS, I'll start another VM, using that. I'll let you know what kind of progress I make.

Hate when that happens...but I look at it as a learning experience. If I put down every time I have to reload because of something stupid I did...would have very little time left for everything else. This is much of the reason why I haven't gotten 10 reloaded on my main machine.
It was a learning experience. I did get ArcaOS working and with Shared Folders working. Sent you a email about that. So now I can get SIO installed and get working on a OS/2 BBS setup.
Tried installing SIO 1.60d & still got the same issues happening on bare metal. Went ahead & put on 2K & everything was there. Today...my main
goal is to get the laundry done & getting TG/2 to answer/log me in. This happens...will start working on the front end/tosser.
I stuck with sio2k and am working on bbbs to answer but no luck so far.
I know I can get TG/2 to work, well I did under WARP
I'm still getting the INIT error. Vmodem is showing 4 modems & even have all the nodes set up with each a different COM port. Even set up the DSL router to let port 9988 pass thru for telnet.
Looks like both of us still have more work...but at least it looks like both of us have more work to do.

finally have sio2k working and answering on port 2323. If I can be of

Onto a more serious note...believe the issue with ArcaOS is the router
is not opening the port to allow communication. Am thinking of taking
this board off line for about an hour or so...assign the Warp box the
IP address...open the port on the SERVICES file to see what happens. If this doesn't work...would putting the Warp box with the BBS into the
DMZ work?
Not having a port open would do it. I am not sure you have to take your main system offline. I think you only have to open a "hole" in the
router for that port pointed at the IPA of the OS/2 VM. Unless, of course, you are attempting to use the same port on both machines, in
which case your board machine would need to come down first before you change the router.
Still have the board on 7788...bink on 24554 & it all works. I try
to open up other holes...the router says they are done...but when I
do the online port sniffer...only the 2 above are open.
Been wanting to goof off with Hexen for about a week & this takes
the time I was going to use.

I read it as a wired/wireless router, but you could be right. Good
point to bring up, the wireless router would need to be set in
"bridge mode" if possible, otherwise give it an IP outside of your
DHCP range, point the gateway to the wired router, turn off DHCP
server on the wireless router, and plug the cable into the wireless router's LAN ports, NOT the WAN port.
Instant access point.

If you can get the dsl router into bridge mode, you could then use

I know pfsense has support for a lot of port forwards, as I"m using it myself.

It's the CenturyLink version of the Zytel 1100C with the current

From what I can see it's a Zytel modem that's had it's firmware hacked by centrylink. The documentation does state that it can do portforwards, but no listing to a limit. It doesn't show if it's even posable to put it
into bridged mode.
How is your connection provisioned? ADSL2+ or VDSL?
If you have the login details for the connection (not the login to the router), then you could get a router known to allow what you want and
then use that.
Here in Australia, the ISP's are not allowed to lock us into a certin brand of router. They have to allow us to use what we want, witch I have done when replacing clients devices.

Don't expect any sort of tech support. They were the best, they are
now the worst. They just blame the cable or phone company when
something goes wrong.
There is a new player now, teksavvy. Their web site is at
teksavvy.com. I hope that will be the end of monopolies here in
Canada. Service is good as always and the price is more in line

I was with them for a similar amount of time. With Bell now.

Will attempt to get to it this evening. Just like Avon...I get off of work...shower...turn on the TV for some UK TV & fall asleep for an hour
or 2 in my chair. ;)
Haha, OK. I may be down to that. I've found myself in mandatory isolation for at least a few days. :/

I think it's usually legit when they blame Bell or Rogers, but this doesn't help their customers at all. One of their main strengths was providing better customer service, and instead they became an annoying middleman.

I remember you saying this before. I haven't experienced this though I have only been with them a short time. Maybe six months now. My
service is 60 down and 6 up and if I do a speed test that's what I
get.
minute or two. I once asked them some questions around IPv6 that the person told me they would have to ask someone to get back to me and
they did 30 minutes later.
cable/telco. I have no IPv6 address because the cable company here
(Shaw) hasn't put it on the wire for whatever the reason is. Perhaps
it not ready.
If it works for you that's all that matters. I was a huge promoter
of TS back in the day...

That's good! Maybe they are getting better.

I've got it here, but the crappy router the cable company gives us
is broken and doesn't deal with it correctly. Doesn't matter as I no longer run the BBS here anyway.

Heard about that in General Chat. Keep busy & stay safe.
Was in fixing breakfast & asked myself how you were doing...before
getting on here.
Haha, OK. I may be down to that. I've found myself in mandatory isolation for at least a few days. :/Got plenty to do, including a new BBS! :D Got to build a proof of
concept system for a local radio club. I think I'll go with Synchronet, because (1) I know it, and (2) it has the flexibility needed these days, especially with its Internet integration.
All good here, you probably had to wait out the time difference for an answer. :D

Nice! Trying to get an RG2TG menu mockup working with TG. That
way...will be running TG...but with RG menus. Best of all worlds for
me.

their reward.

That's neat. Good luck with that. Maybe you will generate some new
BBS users.

smokin'!

Will give you a clue...1960's TV program on NBC TV in the States. You might even be able to find a native speaker among you to tell you what
it says. ;)
Yeah, at least for the new BBS. :) I will add relevant nets to it, as well as the internal "local" (actually will be networked with my system) echos. :) I'll probably use QWK for those to keep things simple.

Messed up the main menu playing around last week...so been working on replacing the menu folder.
Avon & those around the fake Middle Earth might have an easier time finding the native speaker to decode this. ;D
This one will largely be a club members only system, though VKRadio and other active ham echos, plus some general local areas will be available to non members.

Believe I have the problems half figured out. Setup a 4.52 VM in VirtualBox last night. Downloaded SIO2K & installed it & configured it. Going to HARDWARE MANAGER...everything was there when I added nPorts=4
to the end of VMODEM.SYS in my CONFIG.SYS. This afternoon...will
install some piece of DOS or OS/2 BBS software on it & expect to see it p/u every modem. From there...back to ArcaOS to recreate it.
