Tj finally managed to get my FidoNet configuration moving forward. However,

can't seem to get it work, but most of it is because of my lack of understanding. Does anyone have a recent guide for setting up FidoNet on
SBBS?
I tried following this guide and many of the options no longer match :
"Your node number is 1:104/115"
scfg > Networks > FidoNet EchoMail and NetMail > System Addresses
You entered that address in that section?
scfg > Message Areas > (fidonet) > Message Sub Boards > (pick one) > Network Options > FidoNet EchoMail = yes and FidoNet Address should be your node number, and replicate that for all your groups.
While you're in there
scfg > Message Areas (fidonet) > Export Areas > areas.bbs
Choose to overwrite if this is your only network otherwise you may want to write to a separate file and then merge. You should end up with /sbbs/data/areas.bbs (or AREAS.BBS possibly). Enter your uplink when
prompted, 1:15/0
"I am all setup here. I'm not sure about the password. It might be too long for sbbs but we will try it. It's all setup here. I just tried to force a poll to you and it seemed to work, so try to poll me and see if you get any errors.
There are several passwords. What is known as the "session password" is what
is used to authenticate with binkd/binkit or whatever. Areafix passwords are provided when you want to add/remote areas and various other things.
Try sending a netmail to areafix@1:15/0 with your areafix password as the subject
(should be no more than 8 characters). In the body of the message put
%LINKED
%UNLINKED
%HELP
Then send the mesage. This will show you which echoes you are subscribed to,
or not, and some help. You wont get anything if you don't subscribe.
The info for me if u need it is
Connect to address 1:15/0
host: region15.net
port: 24555 (For now. I'm not sure when but some day I will be change this
back
to default)"
That should work. I did a telnet test and it shows it will answer for 1:15.0
Escape character is '^]'.
SYS Region 15 HQZYZ Terry BarlowLOC Colorado Springs, CO.#VER BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-3 binkp/1.0NDL XX"1:15/0.0@fidonet 1:15/1.0@fidonet
So is 1:15/0 the hub? Thats what I used in "echocfg" for the linked nodes :
For echocfg > Linked Nodes for Fidonet I just have
1:ALL
Domain should actually be fidonet.I don't have one just for my hub. You can
set "route to" to be your hub so anything destined for zone 1 will go via
the hub.
Address: 1:15/0
Domain:region15
Archive:ZIP
AreaFix Support: Yes
AreaFix Password: <the password Tj was talking about>
I also created linked nodes (per the instructions above) for each node: 1:ALL
2:ALL
3:ALL
4:ALL
5:ALL
6:ALL
Each one routes to: 1:15/0
Again, I am no sure what the hell I am doing.
Lastly, I don't know what to do with the region15 parameter or even the
24555
port number.
Right. So try sending a netmail and see if it at least gets that far. I sent you one, you can try sending to sysop@1:124/5016
