mbbsbox v0.3-pre This doc still isnt finished :( Information about the enviroment: The included MajorBBS system was "lifted" as is from the MBBS4EVER GOLD release and significant configuration changes were made to ensure stability. Menus were changed where necessary but the bulk of new text design is unchanged. It's much easier on the eyes than the old green/yellow Currently configured are 64 telnet nodes via MajorTCP, 4 virtual modems, with 63 MajorBBS modules loaded. The DOSBox configuration is currently geared toward maximum performance. The DOSBox configuration file mbbsbox.cfg can be tuned to restrict cpu and memory resource usage. The sysop password is currently set to sysop CHANGE IT. You will also want to delete the test accounts test and testy. To start trivia from the teleconference type "-start". For help type help trivia. To start foodfight from the teleconference type ".food on". For help type help foodfight. To start gunfighter from the teleconference type "brawl on". For more help type help brawl. Backing up the system is easy.. Simply stop the bbs and make a copy mbbsroot directory. If anything goes wrong simply replace your current directory with with the backup. You'll probably want to customize your BBS. Use option 6 in the majorbbs startup to edit your menus & text. Read chapter 6 and 7 in "The Major BBS System Operations Manual.pdf" and check this link for more information on MajorBBS customization. The system currently has 64 lines enabled if you need more than that enable them under hardware options. Typing # or ;# will show you who is currently connected the commands are part of the BUD globals package. Type ; or ;? for more global commands. I wouldnt bother with trying to setup the NNTP newsreader/server it only supports the IHAVE protocol (server push). Do NOT change any of the registration, serial numbers in the majorbbs config. All included modules are licensed to the current bbs reg code or "engineered" to work with what you see. Ignore the TCPIRC error in the audit log. The first irc server is not configured on purpose to prevent mbbs from automatically connecting to the irc server and downloading a channel list. FINALLY THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS RTFM!! If you have a problem or want more information the complete majorbbs documentation included the "MajorBBS Docs" directory of this archive. Module documentation is in the "BBSV6" directory. There are also several web forums dedicated to majorbbs support try searching in alt.bbs.majorbbs or comp.bbs.majorbbs (usenet) with google groups. GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND! Linking Teleconfernces Two or more MajorBBS systems can link their teleconferences allowing users on remote systems chat with each other as if they were connected to a single system. Linking BBS_A to BBS_B: Login to BBS_A as sysop and enter the teleconference. Type Dial * BBS_B ip.of.bbs.B When connected login to BBS_B and enter the teleconference. Type Link MBBSBOX! BBS_A If successful the teleconference will respond with "LINKED!"
