Subj : Newbie Struggling to Get Apple II Connected To : All From : Sbushman Date : Sun Jul 04 2021 21:51:39 Hello, My google-fu and searching has failed me. I am super new to the world of BBSs and have decided to try running my own. I am running version 318b via a precompiled Windows build. After running through the wizard and doing a little network configuration I managed to get my BBS running! Yay! I am able connect with PuTTY (telnet) and have a friend connecting to the PETSCII ports via telnet on his C64. However, when I attempt to connect with my Apple II, I get disconnected due to inactivity shortly after connecting. Looking at the logs (pasted below) it appears that the terminal type my terminal emulator is reporting isn't recognized. I downloaded the source and am starting to look through it now, but it'll take some time for me to reason through it. Overall, I think what I'm reading is my terminal is reporting it's type as a vt100, and since that isn't of type ANSI, PETSCII, or UTF-8 the login module sets my inactive timeout to 0 and I get kicked. I'm able to connect to other BBSs running versions of Synchronet, so I believe it's a configuration problem on my end. Any help would be appreciated.
