I read the stats area at different times for different reasons. It's handy.
I have no problem reading it in the echo or the web but I find the echo convenient.

sometimes i read the stats echoes for debugging. FSX_STA was the first i realized that the mailflow in net4 is kinda hectic.
so far (on balance) I'd say feedback is more weighted to leave as is in echomail... but what I think I'll do next is ensure we're getting some stats (where we can) for other HUBs posted into the echo and also work
to get the same content all up on fsxnet.nz as well as for now it's a
bit hit and miss as to what is available and where.
working well and some backing up of logs also being automated, next
steps will be to get these two reports onto fsxnet.nz
Hi Avon (and other fsxNet long-timers), I'm curious about the fsxNet nets and hubs. (not because of any problems or concerns, just curiousity)
Is there a difference between the nets within fsxNet?
My understanding is there's a hub for each net, and those within the net receive echomail and files from their net's hub. Are some hubs offering different connection methods? Are there other differences?
Thanks again for keeping this great network running smoothly!
Spent a few more hours tonight on getting the data to fsxnet.nz
I have created a couple of pages for NET 4 under the Stats section of the website. Hopefully when nightly utils run closer to midnight my time
these pages will also be updated.

well a bit hit and miss, seems stats posted OK to the FSX_STA echo but there was a wobble with the BinkP traffic report sending to the
fsxnet.nz website. I've pulled a few leavers and had a coffee.. let's
see how tonight goes.
Binkd is the main protocol used these days but ftp or
even EMSI with a modem (if you have one). Some mailers
do EMSI over telnet. Mine does but these are few and far
between. I think net 3 might have such a thing.
I am connected at net 1, 3 and 4 for example. I forget
now why I did that but that is the way things have come
together.
I think Avon will give a better, more complete answer
but that's how I remeber it.
So I run Hub 3 - with something that I've created. My
aim is self-service adminstration and to reduce some of
the mundane activities required when running a distributed hub.
Currently implemented is IPv6 & IPv4 connectivity to
BINKP, EMSI/Zmodem. You can use tor, zerotier, or TLS
for any of those protocols. I'd even set up an API to
get mail if there are others that would use it - and
I'll probably do that when there is another clrhgouz hub...
I even started putting together a BBS frontend to
clrghouz - styled on videotex (which is something that
used to work on in my younger days) - but that's far from being usable...
I support all the different packet formats for bundled
mail, as well as playing with new formats that help
support a 5D FTN network, and/or accessing mail over low bandwidth links.
Very cool system you have built, a great project!
Are there other systems using tor, zerotier, or TLS? Cool to have such a variety of connection options.
I never got to use a videotex system, as far as I recall. I read a bit about Minitel, but never used it, and I'm even less familiar with other videotex systems. Without knowing anything about it, I like the idea already. :)
I am interested in testing EMSI over telnet (and over modem), I have BinkleyTerm setup but haven't actually run mail through it. One of these days I might try connecting to your system with mail if you don't mind me testing with your system.

Do you send/receive mail through multiple nets? Any trouble with dupes?
By all means, test away. We should (theoretically) be able to send netmail back and forth with EMSI/Telnet as is.
There are. TQWnet mail transfers with the main hub are
over zerotier, some nodes poll and collect mail over TLS
and tor.
While Videotex is Mode 7 graphics, 40x25, I've actually
implemented "AnsiTex", the same user interface but with
ANSI graphics 80x25. My current BBS (Synchronet) is
using an AnsiTex shell that I've been dabling with over
the years. It too is half baked (page,navigation and
message reading works OK, but I need to write a frame
and msg editor to make useful).

It works ... was doing this 20 years ago on telnet. Zmodem just craps out on most mailers.
More playing this afternoon, tried to pair back the Galactic Dynasty and For Honour reports into one post each vs two. Have also altered the Subject text for most stats reports posted as echomail and (hopefully) bunched them up so they post in a logical order - interbbs, net1, net4
... time will tell, we'll see overnight what happens.
these games reports seems to be posting OK to the stats echo along with the NET 4 stats. I can see an error in the NET 4 BinkP traffic (it's posting content twice)... also will need to separate out fileboxes
Next steps .. tidy up the above issues, then looking to add NET 3 data
to the FSX_STA echo based on what Deon is sending me each night for the website.
posting content twice)... also will need to separate out fileboxes
further as the NET 4 data is now getting caught up in the NET 1 queue reports.. Gah.
Also looking to start sending inter-bbs game stats info to fsxnet.nz as well.
