I use Irex to get the packets and the internal tosser of 15,4 to toss the mail.

I use the PCB v15.4 internal topser. How difficult is qfront to
configure? Is there a conversion tool I could use?

Not that difficult. Not sure about conversion tools. Qfront for PCB
works as a front end mailer and tosser is designed to work with PCB
message bases with out having to convert message base formats.

Netfoss is works with the doors over telnet. Netserial is the port
redirector I belive. Been a while since I have looked into them. I still
have the older multinode license of Com/IP before they went to one node
licence of 99 dollars per node. I got it back when they offered a sysop special.

I uploaded qf.zip to your bbs. It contains my bat files for qfront. Please take a look.

Also I played with starter.bat and bot qfront to answer. As a dummy with no fossil loaded I tried a game and I got dumped. Now when I try it again I get PCBOARD unexpected message and no connection.

Well I typed pcboard.exe and try again and get connected. But No connection when I try again. Just same PCBoard message unexpected message.

Any thoughts?

Are you getting this message from qfront or pcboad?

I see this message when I use qfront to connect. It sees the connect and then tries to pass onto PCBoard. But I get the PCBOARD unexpected message. Remember I broke it when I once conneced to qfront and later after looking at messages. I tried a game with no fossil loaded and it dumped the conection.
Now when I go look at the PCB filer folder I see bbsbatch.bat file. So somehow I broker the logice of the bat files.

I delete the bbsbatch file and start qfront consoler and then try to connect and I get that PCBoard unexpected message.

Just chasing my tail right now.

I have Qfront connecting but when it tries to pass off the connection all I get is PCB console. It is like it doesn't know it is connected.

Have you had a chance to review my bat files?
