I have been working on a dial-up -> telnet gateway for bbs-scene.org over the past few weeks. This dial-up gateway will offer dial-up access to all of the bbs systems listed in the bbs-scene.org bbs list.

Essentailly a user will call a number and be presented with a menu of bbs systems, the server will then create a telnet connection to the bbs the user chooses. This will give all the sysops who have their systems listed in the bbs list the ability to offer dial-up access.

What I need, before I roll this out is a few testers. If you have a modem handy (if you don't know what a modem is this your way too young for this) then fire up SyncTERM, set it to modem and dial 416-623-2970.

Please let me know how you make out here. This is currently setup on a voip line which usually causes connection issues at speeds faster than 28800. I'm toying with the idea of adding an acutal POTS like to ensure stability based on the feedback I get from people testing it.

Thanks.

I've only got VOIP here as well, and it seems VOIP>VOIP doesn't work
at all with modems. :) I have a POTS line being installed at the new
office, but that won't kick in for about a month.

I'll try and visit a friend in Toronto this week and use his phoneline
for testing. :)

I find the voip to voip rarely works right and POTS to VOIP only works at speeds below 28800.

yeah i was always confused when the 56k first ame out how all of the bb's i would call with the exception of 1 would be 28,800, but if i dialed an isp
for internet i'd get maybe 32,000, never usually got above that on 56k connections..

I'll see if I can find a real POTS line with long distance access on
it and try to test it out for you. I have a POTS line, but it has no
long distance on it at all.

I was speaking about this with another guy which told me these features work
if you get the fax line package. I'm assuming if this is true, it would be
some form of codec? Maybe this is how you properly get dial up working over voip to voip?

Anyone who offers a premium for a so called "fax package" is doing nothing but ripping you off.

Faxing does work over voip, as long as you turn off echo cancellation and allow NSE to pass through but it only works at 9600 (fax either works at 14.4k or 9600). I can connect to my modem via voip at 9600 without a problem, it's just painful to do so.

Yeah the X2 was crap. i had an old USR 16,800 modem that i got through the

daughterboard to 28.8k, then flashed it for the X2, but it never connected above 28,800, it also got pretty flaky.. i ended up just tossing it and
baught a Zoom External K56 Flex, best dam modem i ever had, but that is
where most other systems i conencted too were still 28,800, but i could
connect to my isp for ineernet at 32,000 to 34,000 was suually the most
stable due to line noise... was just unsure why other bbses with 56k flex
modem didn't go higher then 28,800 .. still have that puppy around here somewhere.. :)

I was speaking about this with another guy which told me these features work if you get the fax line package. I'm assuming if this is true, it would be some form of codec? Maybe this is how you properly get dial up working over voip to voip?

There are configurations & codecs that are well suited to fax use, but whether or not a provider charges extra for their use would vary from one to the other. Mine doesn't charge any extra; in fact their fax packge is a fax to email service, quite far from what I'd want for this.

VoIP to VoIP modem calls are especially sketchy (although I have had some success with them) just because both ends are lagging and the audio is to some extent mangled. At least with VoIP to POTS calls one end of the "conversation" is on a stable line. In time I'm sure that VoIP quality will improve enough to make this a non issue; some of the blame may also be on lag induced by slow broadband connections (I know my DSL could be better.)

Actually this makes me think that at present, something half-duplex akin to packet radio might be better suited to VoIP. I'm (slowly) working on a packet radio interface to my BBS; maybe I'll see about making that work for dialup as well.

Seems the phone company had took it upon themselfs to offer it at a free rate. Then I got to explain what the line was used for and how stupid it was to just do somthing like that without first asking me about it. Thats when they came up with LineLock(tm) I may have invented the idea ;)

It was awesome when you connected to someone else who had an ISDN line. You got rock solid 64k connections. I had two of them, one with internet services for ftp and shit and the other for people to connect to. I think the demarc units are still in the basement of my mom's house.

Nice, I called my ISP/Landline provider today and asked them how much to call Canada would be 5 bucks a month for 1000 minutes. Sounded good, maybe after I pay the next bill I will add it. Would be good to have anyways
since so many of you BBS nuts live up there ;)

It's cold up here.

Its like an oven here, even in the dead of winter.
I wonder what the record low is? maybe like a warm summer day there.

We do have quite hot summer's here, usually in the 30-40 c range (i think that';s like 80 -100 f) and our winters aren't all that bad, around 0- -20 (30 f to 5f). You have to remember, we are a lot further south than most of the northern US states like Minn.

The wind chill isn't that bad here as it is further north in Ontario like Sudbury. The real problem we have here is the insane humidity in the summer. It's far from a dry heat.

I believe with the 56k technology, you needed a special connection from the
ISP to the phone company. This is one reason why you could never get as good
a connection from a regular modem to regular modem.

As for sucky connections, it depended on line conditions. For years I
couldn't get decent connections due to a fault somewhere in my block...like others, we put out countless calls. At some point something finally got
fixed, and I could get those stellar 45-48k connections.

The PC users in my area gathered once a month to talk about the latest trends in viruses, new software, have lessons on various things. It's become a nonprofit, I think, and still meets as far as I know. The underground boards had a few users that would meet at a local coffee shop -- teens, of course.
I met up with them several times, turned out I knew a few of them. We were close friends for a number of years.

The best fun was with the Amiga users, though. I went out several times with them; it was my first experience at miniature golf, and we did some other fun outings. My Amiga 500 was pretty much stock with just a floppy drive, and a couple of the sysops let me come over and check out their systems. At the time, those were really cool experiences.

Yeah Im glad we have none on a 115+ degree day. I would die if there was no escape from that heat. As long as you find shade its manageable.

Getting into the shade here on a super humid day just means baking in the dark.

I started having the parties at around age 17 but getting the booze was ea and a lot of the users in my area were at least 19 at the time (19 being t legal age to drink in my neck of the woods).

Smarter kid then I was. :) I started smoking at 12 and drinking at 13.

Lol our user partys where hosted by Sysops around 15-18 years of age so no beer. Also was free to come but in the party video donations where pushed

Yeah msot of my partires were well after things died off, i found a good group of local bbsers or guys who useta bbs, and would get together for monthly partires and get sloppy drunk and baked on the south side of chicago.. it's was pretty fun but most people have moved on now..

Sounds fun, I would love to rewind back to the 90's sometimes ;)
Get baked and dial a few bbses up.

Shit I was like 10 or 11 when I use to go over to a friends house who's Dad worked as an Eng at Northern Telecom (later to be known as Nortel). He had old schoold phone couplar modem where you would have to actually jam the ph handset into. He would call back to his offices Main Frame so we could play really bad clone of pac man, lol

haha bet that was the coolest thing ever at the time.

It was amazing. The fact that we were connecting to a remote machine with a phone line was awesome not to mention the fact we were also playing pac man.

I'm sure you'll get more telnet callers then voice line. The last time i even had a modem hooked up was about 2000,, since i got highspeed there really hasn't been a need for it..

That and no one wants to pay for phone calls at $10 a minute or so anymore.. hehe

True I get unlimited longdistance in the USA and its only 5 bucks more for all of canada. MaBell killed dialup. :(
But while I have the landline and free distinctive ring I figure why not.
