Re: Connect script via telnet connection #telnet


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Mike,

The user, password and application should all be given on the connect line:

ATTACH p 
C Hostname TCPport [NEEDLF][TELNET} User Password [Command]
So I used:

att 2
BPQ:G8BPQ-2} Ok
c 192.168.1.44 8011 john xxxxxxxx bbs
*** Connected to Server
POGO4:G8BPQ-9} Connected to BBS
[BPQ-6.0.21.20-B2FWIHJM$]
de G8BPQ>

For BPQ<>BPQ you don't need NEEDLF or TELNET and you should connect to FBBPORT on the remote system. This will give a transparent connection, suitable for compressed forwarding.

73,
John

Hello John and group....

I have been trying to compile a BPQmailbox forwarding script to connect from my BPQmailbox into another BPQmailbox via that station's node; via my telnet port connection [rather than via the AXIP/mapped routing connection that was available via UK broadband but does not work under my current internet connection via my mobile phone]

I tried earlier this year via a Windows setup that also failed to connect.... but the latest combination I am using is now a RPi4 that has the terminal logon screen:

My connect script for this BBS is currently [as above, my telnet port is nr 5]:


Idletime 60 
att 5
c GB7XXX.DYNDNS.org 8010 telnet g4fvg
pause 3
passwordxxxxx
c gb7xxx [ or entering BBS command]

= =  == 

Using the above does get me to the remote station's normal node prompt [after my login password was accepted], but fails to send [or react to] the last line where I ask the remote node to connect me to the BBS.
The distant node then times out and disconnects after the 60 seconds have elapsed.

Does anyone have a working connect script that works/forwards when connecting via an outgoing telnet connection?

73 Mike
