Re: Inexpensive way to get Worldgroup v1 on internet

i stated this on a prev newsgroup..but get the synchronet bbs pkg it is
freeware avail in windows32 mode..win me or win pro or win xp...also avail
in linux

it has a pkg built in that compares well with features in vircom tcp/ip pkg
..the added benifit is written in is a true win32 fossil driver for making
all those pesky door game programs actually run in multinode format w/o a
lot of hassle so you can get a game server out of this gateway to your
major/wg bbs as well

it also has a mbbs style menu you can pick or make your own..check out

www.synchro.net (again it is freeware and still updates are being made)

www.doormud.com (has a page on connecting synchronet bbs pkg with worldgroup
also has a door clone of majormud you can get

there is also a 16 node version of tw2002 that is in a rlogin server mode
avail the site should be easy to find google..look for tw2002 server beta or
some such search i ran tw2002 and sychronet game server on same machine w/o
any problems..and the wg bbs was connected off that

synchronet is about 2 versions away from being essentially worldgroup 1.01
with inet built in...
