something I've been reading that some people do currently is have pots dialup to their BBSes, I'd love to be able to do that with mine also.

How would I do this the best way with Mystic? Anyone doing it already and willing to share how?

I had this setup when I was running Windows for both Mystic & Telegard using sexpots.exe (http://www.synchro.net/sbbs/sexpots.zip).

This would initialize a modem, answer any incoming calls and then forward the modem to a telnet session.

Since you're running Linux this wouldn't help you very much, and now that I'm back on a Pi, I'd be interested in seeing what others are doing under Linux so I could offer dialup access as well (that nobody ever used).

I take part in a dial-up modem pool. You can find more info at https://www.reddit.com/r/bbs/comments/jurs9d/which_bbses_should_i_add_to_the_d ialup_modem_pool/
Nobody that's logged in has mentioned whether or not they've used that but I seriously doubt it.

Mystic supports direct serial I/O using mgetty.

Hi g00r00,

Where i can found a documentation to configure the direct access to connect a old pots modem?

Mystic supports direct serial I/O using mgetty.

I want to access my Modem over a USB.2.Serial Adapter.

Best regards
Alisha

As far as I know there is a linux version of sexpots as well, and the setup would probably be similar.

Mystic supports direct serial I/O using mgetty.

You would have to use the mgetty documentation to learn how to get it to answer and run Mystic. mgetty should be able to execute anything with its login configuration and all you should have to do is tell it to run Mystic.

I believe you can have it run ./mystic -ST3 so that the BD MCI code will return the connection type as MODEM.

There may be a few kinks to work out but thats basically it.
