Lots of "No Answer" from BBSs - rlauzon - 06-24-2018 Computer: Tandy 102, using the built in TELCOM program at 600 BPS I'm trying to connect to some BBSs using my WiModem232 and I very often get a "no answer" from BBSs. When I telnet into the same BBSs from my Linux system's telnet program, it works fine. For example: When I telnet to Level 29 (telnet bbs.fozztexx.com), everything works fine. But in the TELCOM program on my Tandy 102, doing an "atdt bbs.fozztexx.com" gets me a rather quick "NO ANSWER" message. I've checked the telnet setting on the WiModem232 and *T1 is set. Any ideas of what else to check? Note that I can connect to some BBSs with my WiModem232. But most return just a NO ANSWER. RE: Lots of "No Answer" from BBSs - admin - 06-24-2018 You are missing the port number in your ATDT command. ATDT URL : PORT i.e. atdt bbs.fozztexx.com:23 The port number in this example is 23, common for a telnet specific port. If you don't specify the port number, then the default port number is used. The default port number is 1541. RE: Lots of "No Answer" from BBSs - rlauzon - 06-25-2018 (06-24-2018, 07:56 PM)admin Wrote: You are missing the port number in your ATDT command. Dang. I thought that I had tried that too. But I was mistaken. When I added the port, everything worked. Thank you. RE: Lots of "No Answer" from BBSs - admin - 06-25-2018 You're welcome! |
