Full Update Log From Bucko
I have revamped the website as you can see it is a lot nicer now. If you have any issues with it please don't hesitate to email me.
Over the past few weeks I have been working on a new TCPSER Replacement and I can honestly say now that it is running solidly on all of my Commodore BBS'. There is still some beta testing left to do with it, but as of right now everything runs as designed! There are no issues with the NISSA Network tranferring files, there are no issues with transferring files in the File Libraries either! It currently supports up to 4 separate modems, this is helpful for those who may run several BBS' on the same computer. It also has a roll over feature for dual line BBS' such as Centipede BBS. If someone calls in and port 1 is busy, it will automatically switch over to port 2 instead of having to hang up and dial different port. This and some other files may be made available in the near future. I will post more in the future..
Lots Of Updates Since The Last Update! Updated The BBS On A Stick to the latest Vice, added bot blocking technology to both Amiga BBS'. Speaking of Amiga BBS' We opened up an Excelsior! BBS on March 1st 1 of only 3 known Excelsior! BBS' in the world! There is a lot more coming, so stayed tuned!!
Moved The C-Net Amiga (The Wrong Number ]I[ BBS) Off of Windows 11 and put it on Debian 13 with AmiBerry running the emulation I haven't noticed any difference in speed. Plus updated all of the online Game Servers.
Updated The BBS On A Stick Files to the latest available as of today. I have removed the 32bit Windows version due to Windows no longer supporting Windows 10 32bit and Windows 11 not being available in a 32 bit version.
Updated The BBS On A Stick project all versions. After this update I will no longer be updating the 32bit version of the Stick, mainly because with Microsoft's move away from a 32bit version of Windows, there really is no need for a 32bit version of the project.
Updated The Image Support Page with Descriptions of each Link. Updated The About BBS page with info about the Website.
Updated The Image Support Page With A New Look, With Seperate Directories For The Different Types Of Files. Also Updated The Links Page For Cosmetic Reasons.
Updated The Image Support Page with the Latest BBS On a Stick Project with the latest Version of WinVice 3.9 and the latest Image BBS Updates.
Updated the main page to reflect the new additions of Bucko's Den, and The Time Warp BBS to the BBS Family!!
Updated The BBS on a Stick Windows version and updated the website to reflect it. In addition to the above, I have put up a new Dual Line Centipede Commodore 128 BBS in Memoriam to my former Co-SysOp from back in the 80's and 90's Black Hawk was a good friend and confidante. I will miss him. This BBS is in honor of his old BBS Named The Time Warp!
Added 8 Bit Boyz Website To The Links Page.
The new Links Page is now active on the website. If you would like to have your website added leave me an email at [email protected] and I will get your site added.
I haven't updated this website as you can see in well over a year!! Today though I have started the updating procedure. The Image Support Section has been updated with the latest downloads of my BBS On A Stick project, both Linux and Windows. The Latest Image BBS v3.0 Master Disks. In addition to those files, the Wrong Number Family PFile Disk 1 is included along with a copy of Striketerm 2014 which works flawlessly with my BBS' for uploads and downloads. There is now two (2) different tabs on the top of the screen for All of my BBS' and then one for just the Commodore BBS' which supports Commodore Color Graphics. Look for more updates in the coming days!!!
Over the past several weeks a lot has been taking place with all of the BBS' the Mystic BBS (Wrong Number ][) was converted over to Linux. The Door Server has been updated to Synchronet 3.19b. Unfortuately, Bucko's Den II (Enigma .5) has been taken down due to lack of use.
I have reset BRE, Yankee Trader, Falcon's Honour, Tradewars 2002 was reset a few days ago. If There are other games you want to see reset please leave me some email at [email protected] DuckDNS seems to be having issues today (10/1/2022) and the Door Server seems to not be able to be accessd from outside, the BBS's seem to be working as does the website although slower then normal. I will post when it is back to normal. Have to be honest, this is the first outage since I joined DuckDNS in 2018, so I can't complain. If you can't access the BBS' you can use the backup DNS server at wnbbs.dynu.net then add ports of the different BBS' you want to log on to.
A lot has been going on over the past several months with the BBS's Wrong Number ]I[ C-Net Amiga software has been updated to v5.34b Wrong Number ][ Mystic software has bene updated to A48. I have found 49 disks of Amiga Telecom files from the GEnie Telecom RoundTable from when I was SysOp of the group, I have uploaded all the individual files to The Wrong Number ][ File Library and The Wrong Number ]I[ File Library. A lot of other things behind the scenes has also taken place for security purposes. I have opened up port 2022 on The Wrong Number ][ BBS as a SSH connection. There's more going on in the background so stay tuned!!
We now have a domain name, if you accessed the webpage through the address wnbbs.duckdns.org it has now changed to www.wrgnbr.com the old address automatically sends you to the new domain. All of the BBS' have also changed now to the new domain they are as follows:
Wrong Number ][ BBS wn2.wrgnbr.com:23 Mystic Software
Wrong Number ]I[ BBS wn3.wrgnbr.com:6400 C-Net Amiga Software
Wrong Number IV BBS wn4.wrgnbr.com:3000 Image BBS v3.0
Wrong Number VI BBS wn6.wrgnbr.com:6411 Image BBS v1.2b (1993 Retro BBS)
The duckdns.org addresses will stay active for the forseeable future but will be shut down eventually. So make the changes now before you get shut out!
Thanks to Gigino and Xlar54, C-Net 10.0 now is Y2K and Swiftlink compatible, so the original Bucko's Den is now online again. I will be updating the software with mods that either I wrote or friends of mine wrote from back in 1986-1987. I will also be releasing these mods over the coming weeks. The Door Server is well over 140 games now, and getting larger by the day!
I am in the process of upgrading the software the Door Server runs on from Synchronet 3.17b to 3.18b. What this will do is also allow in the coming months Commodore Color Graphics users to be able to use the Door Server with their CG Terminals without having to log on with an ANSI terminal. The Door Server will truly be a one stop shop for all gaming needs. If you want to see Online Game/Doors added to it please don't hesitate to ask me to add it. If you want to contribute and register the door I will not turn it down. In addition to the above, over the next several months I will be evaluating all of my BBS' to see if they are being used, or just wasting space. It is conceivable that 1 or more will be taken down OR combined into different software which gives me the added possibilities of adding to the Family!
Not much has been going on over the past few months, Wrong Number IV has been undergoing a lot of changes from new Online Games, to modifications to one of a kind brand new files being written by myself. It's been a while since I wrote any software for Image BBS and it has felt good. I am also adding in older files with a new kick they are fully 40/80 column compatible. The Door Server has a new door added Yankee Trader, along with a couple of new boards which are hooked up to it. If you would like to get your BBS hooked up click the link for the Door Server on the top of the page.
Lots of things going on over the past 2 months. Bucko's Den (Image 2.0 BBS) was taken down due to lack of use. The Wrong Number V (Image 1.2 BBS) was also taken down not due to lack of use but to more streamline the Family of BBS' and allow my free time to be better spent on boards that are more up to date then others. I have also been playing with a C-Net 128 v7.2+ for a friend. I haven't decided yet if I will be keeping it for myselfor giving it to him. Give it a call at twbbs.ddnsfree.com:6428 It is 1 of only 2 C-Net 128 boards running that we know of and running in Emulation. In the coming months I intend to expanded the Door Server with more doors and hook up other BBS' to it so there is more players in the games.
As of today Bucko's Den is now running on a Emulated CMD 4.1gig Hard Drive in WinVice. The Wrong Number IV is currently being run from a Emulated Lt Kernal Hard Drive also in a WinVice setup. Although that will be changing to a Emulated CMD Hard Drive the same as Bucko's Den so I can take advantage of the SuperCPU emulation speeding the BBS up to 20mhz!
Updated the website a bit, did some upgrades on the Image BBS v3.0 (Wrong Number IV BBS) It is getting more and more difficult to determine if that BBS runs on a C64, a C128, Amiga, or PC! The screens all center now in 40 or 80 columns. Including 90% of the text of the BBS program!! There's more where this came from!! A LOT more!!!
The website has been updated with this page that you are currently viewing. On the BBS front, Image BBS v3.0 is getting closer to release. The latest now detects ANSI mode correctly and there is no need to answer questions when connecting.
