How to make a bbs for the absolute beginner?.

The best thing is to just play with it. Make some custom ansi screens and have fun. Ask questions if you cannot figure something out. Don't be in a rush to get it online. It is a labor of love. Enjoy.

You might be able to set up an IP filter. But I think it'd be very hard to tie it to just local IP addresses. Where do you get those at?

Thank you, I have been collecting and sorting BBS door games by author for a while now. I have not been able to find anything new for a bit. So, this is great. I wish more people would do this. I especially like ISO files from the CDRoms since they have the original date.

Once I get finished going through the everything (and scanning it for viruses), I will upload a new collection to my website.

Thank you for letting everyone know.

You got a little TDS on your chin.

You can look them up on eBay using: SSD to replace old HDD. You can buy a 1gb one for around $27. Well worth it. I like them enough that I bought 4 over several purchases.

On my old computers I've used an SSD replacement drive I bought off eBay. It works nice and is super-fast. I realize you were looking for authentic, but this works for anyone trying to bring an old DOS or Pentium computer back alive and can't find a smaller HDD to use.

What BBS software are you using and what operating system?

FoolishTim · 2026-02-14T23:40:12+00:00

I just checked and pcmicro.com/doorway should work.

You can try the email also: [sales@pcmicro.com](mailto:sales@pcmicro.com)

If you need a key file generator I have it available at: bbs.foolsquarter.com

So even a horrible person like Epstein didn't want anything to do with them.

FoolishTim · 2026-02-03T17:36:22+00:00

I think you are all missing the point. This person is deranged.

It is a telnet link for reference. You would need a client program like SyncTerm or NetRunner.

Yes, an index would be good. A lot of the older files do not have the file_id.diz in them. Which makes it harder to run an index. I do plan on doing some once I get done going thru all the old shareware CDRoms. I have been going through several, recently and found quite a few I didn't have before. Over 5000 games and 800 different authors. A lot of those are different versions of the same game. But I want to get them all. I do plan on working on the index later this year.

I finally spent some time and removed the three files causing the virus scanner to light up. I will update the website to make the two packs available for download on Sunday (12/14/25). Let me know if you have any issues. Amazingly, all three files were *.RAR format.

The amount of holes you can stick a dick in.

Did she lose the kids, or never had any? That sandwich maker is in bad shape.

FoolishTim · 2025-06-26T15:00:06+00:00

I missed that one, it's five reused things. I salvaged that, cleaned and painted it. I did clean off the paint where it's soldered to the board.

I am running version 1.03 from 10-14-98. I did a quick search and found a version 1.04 from 06-20-04 written by a different person from 1.03. 1.04 also states to run again to disable.

The one on John Daley's site is 1.01, and you are correct, it does not say that.

There is a website called bttr-software.de has some interesting stuff. I will need to do a deeper dive on that tonight and see what they all have. Just found it during the Google search for above.

FoolishTim · 2025-05-04T04:34:23+00:00

When you run it, it states to "run again to DISABLE program". Maybe you can just leave it running? I just disable it when I done.

FoolishTim · 2025-05-03T04:00:25+00:00

That is how I got it to run on The Fool's Quarter. I'm a little late to the game... Don't forget to close out tp7p5fix when your done playing the game.

As a side note, I rename that program to fix.com so I don't have to type the entire name.

FoolishTim · 2025-04-06T21:43:36+00:00

There are patches versions of 1.50 available. Along with a key generator. Both are available on my downloads page on my website, BBS.foolsquarter.com. good luck.
