I found MKNET115 for RA. It looks like it'll work, if it's y2k compliant. I just need to wait for a response from capcity as to the directory and
filename to download and upload to set up my IREX ftp script.

you should network via ftn

I was originally, but the network is having problems with binkp. I was
hoping switching to QWK would get around that.

Maybe he's trying to set up DOVE-Net and wants to find a QWK solution rather than try to go through one of the hubs that offers it via FTN.

i havent used RA in 20+ years,(and i only played a little with elebbs) but i'm pretty sure it's gonna be hard to do QWK networking with his bbs software. Maybe someone that knows RA/elebbs better can speak up. I think it's a right tool for the right job type of thing.

In the RA docs it mentions ftn and what software you can use.
And i've found the elebbs docs and they are total dogshit. So i will now abandon this information journey.

I think mark lewis would be a good guy to ask about this stuff.

With synchronet bbs, qwk networking is pretty easy (I still don't like to use it), but he's not using synchronet.

Regardless you are going to use a hub if you're using qwk or ftn.
ftn is just the easier more sensable way. I used to know a lot of shit about bbsing and I had tons of time to test stuff and play with stuff. It's now almost 30 years later. if you don't use it you lose it.

Regardless, using the right tool for the right job is something that you shouldn't forget.

i don't have money for an right expensive tire to replace the one that just popped.

i have a loose sawed off tree stump in my yard. it's round. but will it work well as a replacement? how about a trash can lid?

get a feed that doesn't suck. that's why i dropped it all. too many screwballs running stuff when they can't keep it up or even run it correctly.

is gert still around? i told that dipshit his feed wasnt working, and i had it checked by a pro too, and dude told me to just join another one of his networks instead. jfc
