Have you considered self-hosting the proxy?

If it's about ftelnet, I host my own websocket proxy for that.

Wiki edit of http://wiki.synchro.net/howto:freq by wkitty42:
created first simplistic rough draft

You mentioned 2 methods and I am not sure what the other method
is but SBBS will send a file request to a node if you use the
subject with "FR: FILENAME.ZIP"

I just requested "FILES" from your node from this 1:153/757.2
point. I didn't get anything back but I wasn't really expecting
anything anyway, but SBBS/BinkIt successfully sent the request to
your node. :)

1:153/757 supports file requests. FILES doesn't return anything
but the magic names NODELIST, FIDONEWS or NASA will get you the
latest file that has arrived in those areas.

You or anyone can feel free to test against or request files from 1:153/757.

So, who do we address the netmail to? I get the part about the subject
line, such as "FR: NASA", and I see your node number, but the netmail
has to be in the form of "user name@1:153/757". What "user name" should
be used?

Alan Ianson@1:153/757, or freq@1:153/757. I don't think the To: name matters.

SBBSecho won't create an outbound .pkt for file requests. It just sends the .req file and creates a poll for the node.

sysop@1:153/757 should work just fine because there should be no actual netmail message generated... .REQ files are not sent to any specific person... they are sent to the system... theoretically, you could send to any
username at the address... even a non-existant username...

Okay, but that isn't obvious or intuitive to anybody not familiar with
your system. The SBBS netmail function requires *something* to be on
the left side of the "@" symbol, or it fails.

Thanks, I'll give it a test a little later.

Okay, gotcha. It should probably be documented that way, because the

Just wondering if there is a "standard" name that would go in the addressing... like maybe "FREQ" would be a good one. Thanks.

Wiki edit of http://wiki.synchro.net/install:dev by digital man: [Run-time files] Mentino the 'use defaults' text.dat option

I seem to recall some talk about being able to put just the modified text.dat lines into a /sbbs/mods/text.dat file and have it override the default text.dat file for those entries; is that a feature now?

Any lines starting with '#' are ignored (the default is used). I'm not sure how long that feature has been there and its not well-documented, but looking at the code, looks like it should work. So in theory, you could have a text.dat that contained hundreds of #'s and just the few strings you wanted to over-ride.

Any any string offsets that aren't represented in the text.dat will always use the defaults. Since new strings are most often added to the end of the file, this gives a little bit of backward compatibility (newer sbbs, older text.dat).

dont know what you mean by this. you either registered it or you didn't
you didnt save money. you probably spent money because some of those were generated codes that are in the public.
