That's what DoorParty is running on now. Still requires a bit of work to get everything smoothly running, but the proof is in the pudding. =)

I wasn't looking for a great deal of work. I swore to God you running SBBS, still and or always.

Thanx

BTW, I'm making the change to Linux I don't want to bite off more than I can chew.

I switched to Mystic a couple months ago? Sometime around then. I've wanted to switch for a long time, just recently figured out how to get it going.

And nah, it's not a ton of work.

The connect.mps script g00r00 provides in a default install just needs a bit of tweaking to replace certain characters in passwords that might be sent that will screw up account creation on RLogin, another tweak in that script that limits the password character length sent through RLogin to 25 or less, since Mystic can only handle that length, and I created a really simple and quick MPY script at the ANSI detect string that will disconnect a user if the password given is different than what the account needs so it doesn't automatically kick them to the Mystic username/password login on a bad password attempt.


Oh, and some people will connect via RLogin without a password, so in order to keep things smooth I have the connect script also create a default password for them and also use that password afterwards.
