    I see your posts now have a QWKnet tagline (more or less):

    -+- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/12/24 (Raspberry Pi/32)

    I'm not sure why this is such a problem for Mystic sysops, but it seems someone needs to write-up a FAQ or something for those sysops to know how to set their side up correctly to post with taglines to QWK networks.

    Fair point... I was going from what seems like the common post on your forum that misses that one step... It's mearly setting each massage base to networked... strangely, it actually works if you have them set to local, which is the default in Mystic, and makes it a bit confusing. If that post mentioned this and had a link to the DOVE-Net.txt file... it would have gone a little smoother...

    Sorry, for any undo stress... this seems to be an all too common occurrence...

    No stress, just hoping we can get whatever instructions Mystic sysops are using to add QWK networks (e.g. DOVE-Net) fixed-up.

    That's a post that was distributed on a message network and as such can't really be "updated" or edited. The same content could be reposted as a new message however, but like I said, a wiki or web page would be better.

    Yup. I might just add a page to wiki.synchro.net to capture that howto some place more persistent and updateable.

    that's not a forum article. it's just our msg bases on the web.

    i think if you need mystic support araknet is the place to go.
    another thing is you could always just use ftn instead of trying qwk with mystic.

    yeah i can understand that. but they would have a better time
    running a legacy bbs software or one of these other new up and coming softwares.

    here's what mystic claims to have:
    TELNET, RLOGIN, and SSH servers allowing up to 250 simultaneous terminal users FTP server (virtual mirror of your BBS file bases + QWK networking and offmail mail via FTP)
    NNTP server (creates a mirror of your BBS message bases for newsreaders such as Xnews, Thunderbird, Pine, Alpine, etc)
    POP3/SMTP server (allows users to send and receive BBS e-mail via e-mail clients including mobile phones and tablets)
    BINKP FidoNet-style mailer with full 5D BSO echomail tossing and nodelist management
    HTTP server (provides hosting for basic web sites, downloading of file queues) Encrypted Netmail (AES256) and Secure Echomail by BINKP (w/ SSL), FTP, or 'directory' for 3rd party FTP servers or e-mail based echomail
    Unlimited QWK/QWKE networking with integrated QWK packet transmission via FTP (no 3rd party client required)
    Blacklist DNS and Country blocking support for all servers (block entire countries and known spammers with ease)
    Internal support for File Distribution Network (TIC processing and file tossing as a node or hub)
    IPV4 and IPV6 dual stack for all servers and clients
    Multiple instances of each server type can be created on different ports and NICs at the same time
    Outbound TELNET, RLOGIN, and SSH gateways/clients accessble by BBS users


    so it's essentially trying to be like synchronet.
    they were saying synchronet has all that extra junk, calling it BLOATED, and then say 'that's why i run mystic bbs'.

    It's not for me either, but I can see why someone would want that.
    i totally understand why someone would run a legacy style bbs. i just dont get it with mystic. talisman looks nice.

    Alex

    g00r00 is going all over wikipedia editing renegade bbs and other articles and putting in that mystic bbs is the 'spirital successor' to these softwares, so what about that?

    I wouldn't really call it a continuous chain. it hasn't had a continuous development cycle.

    it is copy of those older legacy bbses. just not a good one.

    and now it's copying synchronet by throwing in telnet , rlogin, ssh, ftp nntp, email, binkp, http server, qwk, outbound telnet,etc

    No, synchronet is a wwiv ripoff :D

    I don't care about the copying, it's the complaining about something for years and then trying to copy almost everything i have a problem with.

    they were ALWAYS saying synchronet was bloated because of all the services it ran.
