is there any possibility of running a FTP server on MTS (SDL Hercules 4.2.x).? It works with TK4-Not in the D6 version of MTS. That version of MTS is from 1988 and doesn't have much Internet support. The later, 1996, version does support FTP as well as other services and I've been working on getting this to work in Hercules. MTS used a special hardware box to interface to the Internet and a special version of Hercules that emulates this hardware will be required to make the 1996 MTS connect to the Internet. I've got much of that working and I'm sure the rest can be done without too much trouble. Mike |

Hi:? Are you planning to release this version of MTS and the modified Hercules? Is so, do yo have an estimated date? Thanks in advance. Paco On Mon, Apr 26, 2021 at 6:20 AM Mike Alexander <mta@...> wrote: On 24 Apr 2021, at 3:48, marcoxa@... wrote: --

We'll also release a Hercules that runs it one way or another, either as part of a regular version or separately. As for timing, it's a bit hard to say. It's been on my list for years, but I'm actually working on it now. How quickly it gets done depends on how many problems I find. Hopefully within a few months at least. Mike |

[...] May I suggest NOT to release yet another Hercules version?Wholeheartedly agree! The last thing we need is yet another Hercules! When you're done, Mike, simply publish your Hercules fork with your changes and together we'll make every effort to incorporate them into SDL Hyperion. -- "Fish" (David B.

For example the FTP client works fine and you can connect from MTS to another FTP server, but I can't get the server started properly. Some file is missing or not configured right. Mike |

Also, both SDL and Spinhawk already have support for TCP/IP.May I suggest realizing that the TCP/IP support already in SDL and Spinhawk is most likely completely unrelated to the special hardware box MTS used to interface to the Internet. :-) -- Kevin Bruceville, TX What's the definition of a legacy system?
