    Hi Daniel.

    i have my OS/2 machine in the office, and i am using it via
    telnet. not the BBS, i telnet into the OS/2 where i got a prompt
    then i enter: cd \golded and then run gedemx.exe :) 95% i
    use my os2 box remotely and it works surprisingly well, i did not
    expect it.

    OS/2 can be available remotely via PMVNC as well. I still use this
    occasionally to check on my OS/2 system.

    i'm more a console-guy, than a gui one :)

    Do you have gui at all in your os/2? Like running TSHell only. :)

    tbh TShell is quite nice! if the code was available it'd be fun to swap out the keybindings for something SCREEN/tmux like

    I would love it if OS/2 could support tmux.

    should be possible, but with the same caveats as OS/2's previous SSH and telnet support. all the stdio/stderr/etc stuff can be redirected but the second you use the vio apis that output goes through the video handling for the command window instead..

    Yeah, I know there's issues with the VIO APIs. So I just use VNC
    instead when I need it. I am building a new ArcaOS box for my BBS
    from a decent HP Z210 workstation (runs Arca very, very nicely and
    fast). I'm going to try to put on Alex Taylor's SSH setup and see how
    it works.

    hey look at you slick ;) man i remember back in the day when we had to carefully purchase hardware from a list of known-working and os/2-
    supported items. only time i've ever owned SCSI hardware in my life..

    is it a small form factor variant? i have one of those and i kinda dig
    saving the space.

    part of it is because there's no blank line between the OP's quoted sections and the new reply text they've written to separate them into distinct entities...

    The message appeared here with a blank line, however the lines were LF-terminated and LF's are ignored by FidoNet standard. The fix was to configure SlyEdit here on my BBS to expand LFs to CRLFs.

    It always has if memory serves. <G>

    hey look at you slick ;) man i remember back in the day when we had to carefully purchase hardware from a list of known-working and os/2- supported items. only time i've ever owned SCSI hardware in my life..

    This about a 10 year old machine. I am looking at getting a half-height PCI SCSI card so I can put an external tape drive on the box.

    is it a small form factor variant? i have one of those and i kinda
    dig saving the space.

    Yes, it is a SFF. It's similar to the Elite 8000 series of HP computers in design. I was a factory-certified HP business desktop/laptop tech so I prefer HP equipment because I know how to work on them and get parts.

    Max is interesting at first (some say damning) to use. In the internal FSE, hit CTRL-N for help. Max uses both Wordstar key combos, and if you're using a program like ZOC or Syncterm that can do "Doorway mode", Max can also use PC keys, such as PG UP/PG DOWN in its editor.

    With that being said, I am using GoldEd/2 myself and I do use FleetStreet occasionally but often I am using MultiMail on my Windows 10 laptop.

    Later,
    Sean

    i use ZOC exclusively nowadays. 80x35 too. with a jombo old man
    font. sure i test things with SyncTERM, Netrunner, even my
    cherished mTelnet, but ZOC just does it best imo.

    i do wish pgup/pgdown and a few other keys just worked by
    default though. that's pretty standard "bbs" emulation nowadays
    for sync/mystic/others. i can stick ZOC in linux mode, but ansis
    go screwy, swap for xterm mode but then backspace or the end key
    will stop working. (these probably aren't exact but you get the
    idea). lots of things will use left/right as alternates for page
    up and down, but the habit isn't there to press those. *shrug*

    Do you have gui at all in your os/2? Like running TSHell only. :)

    Ha! I thought I was the only one that ran that. It was neat for it's time. I don't think it saved too many resources, but back then, we tried everything.

    I still can boot my OS/2 BBS system to tshell. Just in case something
    goes wrong in main system. :)
