6. Configuring the bbs

(GW3TMH)

The Linux version of FBB not only has the normal packet modes, but it also supports the use of Telnet, Pop3, Smtp, and Nntp there is very little information about how to set it up on these modes.

The telnet mode is commonly used on the Internet, but not the other modes of Pop3, Smtp, and Nntp.

Here below is an extremely simple example of the config file called 'port.sys' showing all these modes configured.

# FBB7.03
#
#Ports TNCs
 2     2
#
#Com Interface Address (Hex) Baud
# Telnet on port 6300 (189c hex)
 1   9         189c         0
#
# Pop3/Smtp/Nntp 110(6e hex)/25(19 hex)/119(77 hex)
 2   9         6e:19:77     0 
#
#TNC NbCh Com MultCh Pacln Maxfr NbFwd MxBloc M/P-Fwd Mode  Freq
 0   0    0   0      0     0     0     0      00/01   ----  File-fwd.
 1   8    1   0      250   2     1     10     00/15  TUWYR  Telnet
 2   4    2   0      250   2     1     10     00/10   SU    Pop
#
# End of file.
#

To turn off any of these simply replace the hexadecimal address with a zero.
