Just out of curiousity, has or does anyone out there know of somebody that A) Has BYE???.COM working on a Trs-80 Model 4 using CPM 2.2 or 3.0?? Or B) Runs a decent BBS in 2.2 or 3.0??? Basically this is all I want to do, but half the files I request from SIMTEL20 have errors, probably because of ascii transmission. I would use kermit, but I don't have a kermit program that actually works in CPM. I have Qterm, but it doesn't work on my machine either! I guess I'm outta luck, time to get a Mac... Dave

I've got an old version of BYE that works on my model 4. It is up to you to
find a bbs to go with it, however. Have you ever heard of Citadel? I run
a Citadel board on my model 4. Give it a call at (916) 381-4127 and see if
you like it. After connect, type L to login, and follow the prompts.
If you like it, leave mail to "Jim Earl" and we can arrange a transfer of the
run-time code for you. It runs on its own (it doesn't require BYE).

Well, this is going to be usefull... :) I have BYE510 at home. I don't know
if I have it only in library format or if it is actually working (yes, I have
a Model 4), and I do know someone that does run a BBS from a Model 4.

Hi Jim... Zoomie here.
Chad: This was the guy I was going to point you to for a BBS, as well as
another person who is running a BBS on the Model 3 mode of the Model 4 (that
ought to confuse all others out there).

By the way what sort of software do you have for your 4? Dave
umrose05@ccu.umanitoba.ca (Dave Rose) (12/24/89)
Hmm, Ok, does Citadel require major configuring for the Model 4? And also, you mentioned that you know someone that runs a BBS in Model 3 mode of his model 4? What BBS program is he running? Dave
jim@mmsac.UUCP (Jim Lips Earl) (12/24/89)
Er, I don't have the original BYE source library. All I have is
BYE.COM, but you are welcome to it, if you want it. If you do, then
I'll have to figure out how to send it via UUCP (I've never done it before).

Since I already have Citadel ported to my model 4, I'll I'd have to do
is send you the run-time code. All you'd have to do is run it, and
you'd be off. You would be off and running in about half an hour.
Citadel comes with built-in help files, and a program called CONFIGUR
that creates all the files that Citadel needs to run. You run it once
when you first setup Citadel (first, you edit a textfile called
ctdlcnfg.sys that has info in it like your sysop password, how many k
to use for the msg base, whether or not you have a clock, etc.) It in
turn, creates a file called ctdltabl.sys, that Citadel reads in to
memory when you run it. Citadel is a room-based system, that needs
hardly any mantenence. The msg base "auto wraps" over itself, so old
msgs scroll off the system by themselves. Do you want to try it?

Just what I've heard...and you know how stories go among hackers...they get more software loops in them the more they get parsed along. :) The BBS program that Jim "Lips" Earl is running is ready to run on the Model 4, since he is currently running it on one now. If you can send me an email address, then I'll let you know what kinds of programs I have for CP/M, Model 3 mode, Model 4 mode, etc...

Easy Jim...I can call up your BBS, download it to my system, upload it to my
works system, then mail it (if I get a good address) to Dave.

His Citadel is pretty cool (Jim, don't ask me why I don't call very much any more), and is usually the one that stays up all the time, come hell, high water, earthquake or power outages...Just how do you do it Jim? :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fireman to homeowner: At one point we | Justin Masters decided to fight fire with fire... | basically your house burned even faster. | jmasters@fmdgr1.intel.com

I tried a bunch of different bbs programs, until I found one that I
liked and was virtually maintenence-free. It is one of the most
popular boards in Sacramento.

I definately want to try it!!! Please send it to me, I hear that it can also netmail or at least transfer messages from node to node, does this work?? Also is there a structured tree system for the nodes?? Dave
