I haven't checked for new SyncTerm updates recently.. I'll have to check that out. I'd thought about adding RIP screens to my BBS.

Yup, that's my next step now. I checked it out on my L.O.R.D. game, and it was nice to see the rip graphics. Now I just have to make the downloads of icons available.... I'm very happy

Oh wait...

TeleGraphix went out of business long ago...just like Quarterdeck Software, who did DESQView and QEMM.

When I ran GT Power on dial-up, I made several RIP graphics menu screens.

Heh, yeah, that was the "Oh wait..." joke.

I have much of the Outworld Arts collection of ANSI and RIP graphics in
the file areas over here. I also have a door with proprietary ANSI files
from "The Smile Project". Several of them also have ANSI animation and
music.

Yeah, I had some when I ran PCBoard

I used the background template that had the software name (GT Power),
then used Deadpaint (affectionately known as DEAD) to create the menus.
I chuckled that in the documentation where the authors noted "Dead is a trademark of the undertaker, and Doctor Jack Kev... never mind". <G>

Unfortunately, I don't think you can register it anymore. I have it
over on the BBS computer, but rarely do RIP screens anymore.

a door called "Toilet Stall Grafitti Wall"...affectionately known as
"2000 flushes in ANSI" -- or "ANSI Rooter, that's the name. Just flush
your graphics down the drain". <G>

There's very few things you can register any more from back then.

I doubt it'd work under Windows 10, and especially at the screen
resolutions I have it at. Plus, I didn't do much with the program,
except for creating menus.

I was lucky to register most of the doors on the BBS before they

As a side note, The PCL Net (packet) won't meet this Monday, Sept. 27.
The computer that NS2B had for it went "tango uniform" last week. He has ordered a new computer, but it won't be in until the middle or latter
part of next week. I'm alternate Net Control and Scribe for that net.

I'm also working on getting a new shorter domain up for my personal
homepage. The content won't change...just the URL. A fellow ham radio
operator has offered hosting capabilities, which will save me quite a
bit of money...and with medical issues, I can use all I can get right
now.

I saw rumblings of a 1.2 somewhere. Wanted to give it a run to see if it
fixed a login issue I'm experiencing. Nothing at all critical. Otherwise 1.1
is working fine.

Hey all, glad to find this Synchronet area for the BBS software, mind a question on SyncTerm?

Recently got a newer version of SyncTerm working and had some questions on the login and password macros. :)

Thanks,

Thanks, one of the things enjoyed in more recent versions of Syncterm is the ability to hit alt+L for logging in to a BBS and having the user and password settings all set up.

As it is you can supposedly hit alt+L and if the password does not take, a person can hit Alt-L again. The Alt-L option works great on the sychronet BBSs and a few others, but not all.

Is there a chance that a different key could be assigned to the password field. That way when alt-L enters the user field but fails to send the password, the password can be sent by another Alt+(letter) command?

I didn't know about this Alt-L feature, but if you configure an entry in your BBS list with RLogin or SSH, you can put your login credentials in there. I'm not sure why there would need to be a separate hotkey (Alt-L) for that. Unless I'm misudnerstanding something.

Alt-L sends the login name and password normally. It works on some BBSes and not on others. For instance, I can login to my Synchronet BBS using Alt-L but not to my Atari BBS. It only sends the login name on the Atari BBS. I have seen this behavior on other BBSes also. So I understand Doc Clu's request for an additional programmable key for other BBSes.
