What would it take to get MajorNET back up and running like the glory days? Anyone?

I would like to see this up and running.Questman wrote:MailLink was the add-on that ran MajorNet. We can easily do this, as Dialsoft owns MailLink now. I actually have the code. If you're interested, I can talk to him about taking it over and getting it out there..
definately. this will be a major step.Questman wrote:MailLink was the add-on that ran MajorNet. We can easily do this, as Dialsoft owns MailLink now. I actually have the code. If you're interested, I can talk to him about taking it over and getting it out there..
good deal this definately fits my vision for worldgroups future.Questman wrote:Okee. I'll ask him about it.
quite a few actually and funny thing is most of em still running dos 2.0Logos wrote:I still have my software and couls setup as a hub. How many systems we got out there?
Also interested in NNTP.

which is why im doing alot of work on the 2.00 codebase to make it fit into a structure like 3.xx but still in the dos enviroment.
well for someone to run a simple hobby bbs they dont need alot of bells and whistles.ccs wrote:Great!dspain wrote:quite a few actually and funny thing is most of em still running dos 2.0Logos wrote:I still have my software and couls setup as a hub. How many systems we got out there?

The main reason I want to stay in WG2.0 is I have a several older computers that I use to run the BBS. If I upgrade I will have to use one of my other Server to run WG3.x. With window server 2000/2003 Worldgroup and the IIS services do not play well. Also I have important customers stuff running on them and I cant mess with the performance. Also I have some modules that I cant get (yet) for WG3.X.

Let me know how that goes. After much talks over the night, the team wants to go forward with the development.Questman wrote:MailLink was the add-on that ran MajorNet.

A good 3.2 install would be AWESOME! Alot more mods out there for it and I would like to start the Dev in that version if I can. But, the 3.3 version did match the version I had before. Seems to run smoother than what I have on CD from Mr. Barr. Thank you for your patience in this matter. Now, I just have to wait for my next team meeting (because we all work to death outside in the real world) before we move to the next step.dspain wrote:so i take it that file i sent ya was better the other you had?The Storm wrote:Let me know how that goes.

also once i get a good 3.2 cd ill send ya one of those i prefer 3.2 over 3.3 casue 3.3 is some stuff netvillage did and in my opinion screwed up the source.

How about DKS. Also, thanks for the download, this will help greatly.dspain wrote: ok here ya go:
http://arcticzone.dyndns.org/wgnt/wg320.zip
http://arcticzone.dyndns.org/wgnt/wg32src.zip
use the same code and act i gave ya before.
also pick a 3 letter tag for an isv title and ill add you an ftpable file library for addons in my ISV library for wg-addons
like elwynor is ISVELW
arcticzone is ISVARC
darkstar development is .....
ok ISVDKS it is ill let rick know to put it on his bbs and the forums as well.The Storm wrote:How about DKS. Also, thanks for the download, this will help greatly.dspain wrote: ok here ya go:

Very cool. I will start my setup next week as finals are here for school (I'm 28 and a late bloomer..haha). After that, I should be able to create the first tele game that we were looking at.dspain wrote: ok ISVDKS it is ill let rick know to put it on his bbs and the forums as well.
about the files no problem. also that code i gave ya will work on that as well.

Do we believe that this will happen? This would be a great feature to any of BBS's as it's a way to boost reading material as well as an interactive place for conversation when the teleconference isn't being used.
i dont see why not i mean hell even synchronet comes preinstalled out of the box with its own personal network thats been around since 1994 i bought synchrnet as a door bbs for my majorbbs v6 system back in 1995 and dovenet was around then.
so yes its very possible.
Let's face it, the Teleconference isn't that well used these days unless you're on Peazy's Place where they have the Annex Hotel (God, wish they still had that in production to be registered as well as their Command Center).
i got annex hotel, and annex globals.
the globals i got are for the sole purpose of duplicating them.
command center i have been working on for over a week now trying to match what it looked like 100%.
rick said they were not interested in seeling the source, the rights, or even registrations anymore so ill just match it.
i would have had it released by now but i messed up during development and actually added features from datasafe's global power.
so i had to redo it.
I would love to get a network going as well as a REAL WorldLink going as well. The one from WorldGroupWare.com works great for linking teleconferences but to be honest, I have never gotten echos to work there.
all we need is one dedicated system from our little community here to be a host and everyone connect to them via worldlink then get someone to start making a forum like module to plug into it.
So, lets make MajorNET happen...again.
I can register you a copy of Annex Hotel and Annex Globals, and all of the Annex products. They're now part of Elwynor Technologies ISV.The Storm wrote:MajorNet:

I did. Also, your mirrors are not working. I thought it was a fluke a couple days ago, but some URLs you have been posts (anything related to ISVs) hasn't been working.dspain wrote: did ya check telnet://bbs.elwynor.com?
i try to mirror his demos at arcticzone.dyndns.org/isv/elwynor
but never know what hes changed i only check once a week
yeah usually i post em for someone to grab and take it down soon after.The Storm wrote:I did. Also, your mirrors are not working.

I need to go through the source code and get it to compile first, but Dialsoft is allowing us to distribute the game freely to those interested.
Stay tuned.
yeah whats gonna have to happen is one of us will need to put up a dedicated host.frcorey wrote:I still have my reg code for my system.

Would maillink work with Fido and all the other networks I belong to?
And how much would it cost?
Thanks
Computerhavok
Hello
i have majorfido but still use synchronet to pull my newslink, rimenet, and fidonet for now.
i am the home hub for arcticnet which uses synchro too til i get off my lazy XXX and try to work on something to let me do it with wg.
i got a distro of majorfido i can dig up for ya.computerhavok wrote:Hello

Let me ask you then is MajorFido still around to be able to pickup?
I can, but don't really want to run two BBS packages other then for a 16 bit game server
Thanks!

Thanks alot!dspain wrote: i got a distro of majorfido i can dig up for ya.
i run a 16bit game server linked to my nt so i know how ya feel.

good deal, majorbbs renamed? nah i say keep the legacy name, majorbbs was a solid product and there are no known bugs except small perks and tweaks.computerhavok wrote:dspain wrote: i am the home hub for arcticnet which uses synchro too til i get off my lazy XXX and try to work on something to let me do it with wg.
In the near future, I'd like to hooking up to your network, I would hope with WG! Or I hope, MajorBBS (Renamed)!
Any who, lets do that sometime as soon as I get settled in my new home in Florida!
Thanks.....
Ya, I love QWK being when you hook up the first time with your upfeed you pull ALL messages from every echo you have picked! And yes, I agree with your friend QWK is the way to go, rather then running sometimes depending on the BBS software a mailer and a tosser, qwk is sooo easy to use.dspain wrote: alot easier to setup than fido-gates,etc... and simply does its own thing using the FTP protocol.
the networks are completely done and tested using synchronet 3.14
and WWIV 5.0 when i find a way to integrate it into wg ill let ya know.
as Joe has said time and time again net support for wg w/o the need of external addons is the way to go.
