Hello All,

I'm using Mystic BBS mys112a31_w32, and it'll be strictly a telnet only system, the OS is Win 7-32bit.

I'm in nearly finished setting up my board (BBS) but, I have several doors that will allow the users to download files that are created by the doors or to upload files to the door. One such example I have is Classify32 which is a Classified Ads door by Sunrise Doors. It's not the only door that is having this issue.

When I try using DSZ or SeXYZ they recognize I'm not using a modem so I do the d option to have it not detect carrier, but it doesn't transfer the file.

It goes through the motions but doesn't give the file.

Is there anyone out there who's been able to go this to work?

HELP?

Thanks?!

What exactly does it do? Does a download window appear on your client? are there any errors? does it display any text when you hit download (that might look like a zmodem string)

if it's using socket inheritence, SEXYZ will need to know the socket, not sure if your door can pass that, you might have to somehow set it as an environment vairable and pass it that way.

how is the door called? does it use netfoss? or is it using door32.sys? I'm guessing it's door32.sys?

if that's the case, you might be able to call the door through a batch file, passing the socket, set it as an environment variable using the batch file, then running the door, and for your download command have it call SEXYZ with the environment variable as a socket.

That's all the ideas I have on what it could be.

Yep stick to 32 bit to make things easier on yourself, that's what I try to
do also :)

I have been able to use sexyz for windows ver. 2.0-win32 as part of my Mystic BBS system by dropping it into the main Mystic directory and calling it with settings like this for the user to invoke.

I have not tried it with door software.

It may well be you need the modern day equivalent of a fossil driver and netfoss is the one to look at using.

Hello Andrew,

I should have mentioned I'm using Netfoss, (current version, got it from the website.) On the users end it does nothing, displays nothing just appears to pause.

On the console it attempts to send several times (times out) and gives up. I think it's trying to pass it to a com port which if my understanding of a telnet only bbs it isn't using.

I tried Sexyz but regardless of what I gave it as a socket it wouldn't do it.


Thanks anyway,

Mark.

Sexyz works fine as part of the system protocols, just not from any doors. Same goes for DSZ.. odd. but I'll get it yet.

I had tried doing it on a 64 bit OS as that's what that machine had on it but 90% of the doors just wouldn't run as they're 16bit and most 64bit OS's are not backwards compatible. Grumble...

Speaking of Netfoss is there a command line paramater that will hide the "NETFOSS" header before passing over to the door? .. it's kinda ugly (just a pet peeve.)
