You now have LINMAIL and LINCHAT duplicated in the config. Could it be that you have two instances of each started?


Can you be more specific with what mode and connect to what, etc?

Telnet is necessary only for a couple of reasons, but should normally not be used for user connections. So, just how are people trying to connect and what is the response they receive?

I connected to your node.
Browsed your node.
Connected to your node.
Returned to your BBS
Started a message to you. When ending the message your BBS stopped responding. I am assuming because your have LINMAIL defined twice, and you have the same call-ssid assigned to both, causing the conflict.


Kill all BPQ processes, make sure you only have LINMAIL and LINCHAT defined once in the config, and restart. I'll try again later.

More infor needed.

Not a reason for affecting your connections, but, there is normally no reason to be listening on two different UDP ports. What is your reason for that?

Also, there is BTINTERVAL defined twice. Doesn't hurt anything but only defining it once, with a 15 minuted interval makes it clearer.
And, IDINTERVAL needs a value.


 

Ok, did find something else...

You are defining your node alias as NFDBBS. So, connecting to NFDBBS connects you to your node.


Try these and restart...
