[nos-bbs] JNOS setup

[Adam Liette]

Hello, Mark. I'm looking into being able to msg each other on the bbs, and
be able to telnet to a mail account or packet cluster. So, just general BBS
and Telnet. I thought about giving a pre-verson 2.0 copy installed. Finding
out how much I know about gcc. Hahaha. I'll see if I can get my config to
you.

Thanks!

Adam

Well done! Nothing like a fully bloated Linux install to eat up your
resources. I use Voyager myself on whatever micro/embedded platform I
can get hold of. Try http://www.g7ltt.com/jnos

JNOS does not "mask" the eth0 network port. What you have (for practical
purposes) is a virtual machine which may or may not require a LAN
connection.

The TUN interface is just another interface that JNOS can route data
through. Post your config and I'll take a look.

This is still a JNOS machine and so all the normal rules apply. If users
are posting messages those messages should appear in the relevant areas
according to your rewrite file

You're right. There isn't much in the way of howto type docs. What other
things are you trying to do? Most of us here have done most of the
things possible with JNOS.
