Hi everyone!
IтАЩve searched far and wideтАФGoogle includedтАФbut detailed info on this
topic seems scarce. So, if youтАЩre considering suggesting тАЬjust Google
it,тАЭ letтАЩs skip that part. ЁЯШЙ Instead, if you know of any websites,
guides, or resources that explain how to run the software IтАЩm working
with, IтАЩd be incredibly grateful if you could share them.
HereтАЩs what IтАЩve got up and running so far:
US Robotics 56K Fax External Modem: Currently figuring out how to
passthrough the COM port.
DOSEMU2: Fully operational on Ubuntu 24, running on a VM.
Renegade (DOS version): Successfully launches as a door from Mystic
BBS and works perfectly.
Now, hereтАЩs what IтАЩd like to achieve:
Telnet: Mystic seems to have this covered for now.
FrontDoor 2.20 ML: IтАЩve heard thereтАЩs a Telnet/BinkP-compatible
version. Any thoughts or guidance on this?
Fastecho, Allfix, or Internet Rex: IтАЩm planning to set these up as
part of the workflow.
Ideally, Mystic would pass control of both Telnet and the modem
(currently virtual) to FrontDoor. The idea is that FrontDoor would
handle dial-up users and, just like in the old days, distinguish between
a human caller (who gets passed to the BBS) and a mail call.
This whole "dial-in access" project is really just a passion project for
me. ItтАЩs a challenge IтАЩve set for myself, and while IтАЩm not expecting
anyone to actually call in, IтАЩm hoping to replicate the experience using
VoIP to mimic PSTN lines. ItтАЩs a bit of a nostalgic dream, but one IтАЩm
determined to make happen.
HereтАЩs where I need help:
IтАЩve started working through FrontDoorтАЩs setupтАФpaths,
configurations, etc.тАФand IтАЩll tackle Fastecho, Allfix, or IREX next.
However, IтАЩm unsure how to handle outgoing mail via BinkP, so user mail
flows seamlessly over Telnet. Any advice on that?
Is this even worth all the effort? IтАЩm having fun with it, but IтАЩd
love to hear if anyone else has walked this path or has insights to share.
If youтАЩve done something similar or have suggestions, IтАЩd love to hear
from you. This project is a labor of love, and every bit of advice
helps. LetтАЩs bring some retro magic back to life!
Hasta la vista, baby!
