;A fsxNet Nodelist for Friday, December 16, 2016 -- Day number 351 : 21504 ;S Copyright 2015-17, fsxNet, All rights reserved. ;S ;S ;S fsxNet - [F]un, [S]imple, e[X]perimental Network ;S ;S ==== A weekly nodelist for the fsxNet ==== ;S ;S Infopack (bbs.geek.nz/fsxnet.zip) ;S ;S fsxNet is a fun, simple and experimental network established in late 2015 ;S ;S fsxNet is not a perscriptive network. e[X]perimentation is at heart ;S of its name and members are actively encouraged to be creative in their ;S use of the network. Only a handfull of message areas and file bases are ;S used - setup is quick and [S]imple. ;S ;S Technologies covered by the network include (but are not limited to) ;S BBSing, ANSI art, Amateur (HAM) Radio, Vintage Computers & Gaming, FTN ;S communications, network protocols & topologies, encryption methods, ;S contemporary computers (e.g. Raspberry Pi), computer coding and more. ;S ;S fsxNet sees hundreds of messages posted every week. It is the primary ;S and most active support network for Mystic BBS software. ;S ;S Do you find it [F]un to learn about and use retro computing technologies? ;S Would you like to be part of a group that enjoy experimenting and developing ;S those technologies further? If the answer is yes, then we invite you to ;S join us :) ;S ;S == Goals ==================================================================== ;S ;S * Develop and encourage international communications between 100 (or more) ;S geographically diverse bulletin board systems. ;S ;S * Support and create learning and experimental opportunities between ;S members. ;S ;S * Foster borderless international friendships. ;S ;S * Explore and develop new and interesting methods of online communication ;S between members. ;S ;S * A network based on having fun, while being respectful and helpful to each ;S other. ;S ;S == Housekeeping ============================================================= ;S ;S * Members of fsxNet are to conduct themselves in accordance with the above ;S goals. Failure to do so risks being delisted by the Network Coordinator. ;S ;S * The use of the network for illegal purposes is not permitted. Members ;S deemed to be engaged in such activities will be delisted by the Network ;S Coordinator. ;S ;S * Real names used in the nodelist, aliases or real names welcome in ;S all echoareas. ;S ;S * Please post messages containing ANSI but do so with an [ANSI] prefix in ;S the message subject line. This allows members who can't view ANSI content ;S to opt out reading it if they are unable to do so. ;S ;S e.g. Subject: [ANSI] Something I drew last night ;S ;S == Echoareas ================================================================ ;S ;S Message Echos: ;S ;S FSX_GEN - A general discussion echoarea covering many topics. ;S Test messages and other experimentation is welcome. ;S ;S FSX_MYS - Mystic BBS discussions, support and development. ;S ;S FSX_CRY - Cryptographic discussion and experimentation. ;S Public key sharing, encoded messages, testing etc. ;S is welcome here. ;S ;S FSX_BOT - The first choice for non-human roBOT output. ;S May contain BBS and NET ads, stats reports, telemetry reports, ;S traces of nuts etc. Set your BOT free in this area :) ;S ;S File Bases: ;S ;S FSX_NODE - Weekly Nodelists (fsxNet, etc.) ;S FSX_INFO - Weekly Infopacks (fsxNet, etc.) ;S ;S FSX_MYST - Mystic BBS Software ;S FSX_MUTL - Mystic BBS Utils, Mods etc. ;S ;S FSX_SOFT - BBS Software (Current + Legacy) ;S FSX_DOOR - BBS Doors, Games etc. ;S FSX_UTLS - BBS Utils, Tools, Networking etc. ;S ;S FSX_ARTS - ANSI Art - Groups, Individuals etc. ;S ;S == ChangeLog ================================================================ ;S ;S For a full list of changes refer to the HISTORY.TXT file in the fsxNet ;S infopack: ;S ;S 2016-11-12 ;S Added - Node 138 - Electronic Warefare BBS (USA). It's a warm welcome to ;S Nicholas Loch aka Fat Rastus who joins us from Vincennes, ;S IN, USA. Fat Rastus is running a Synchronet based system ;S and is an avid (can I say that? :)) door game player. ;S Check out the BBS at bbs.ewbbs.net or visit the website ;S at http://ewbbs.net - Welcome to fsxNet Nicholas :) ;S ;S Updated - Node 149 - Redmud Castle BBS (USA) is now running on Telnet port ;S 1123 ;S ;S 2016-12-06 ;S Added - Node 192 - A 90's Manila BBS (SGP) Welcome to sysop Michael Balcos ;S who joins us from Singapore! He's actually planning on ;S moving to Metro Manila, the Philippines next year and is ;S setting up a Mystic BBS running under Debian ;S 8.0 Jessie for ARM (He's using an OLinuXino A10 Lime). ;S

This was used as a single ;S placeholder for the InterNet address of the system if it ;S supported several transport methods. Instead of placing ;S the system address in the deprecated form specified below ;S in each flag, the address would be placed once only in this ;S flag. Implementations may need to parse this information ;S from nodelists created with older programs. ;S INA - Place to list a Fully Qualified Domain Name Or Static IP ;S Address, to be followed by applicable protocol flags ;S offered. Usage: INA:| ;S ;S ;S Conversion from R46/R50 Internet capabilty flags to the new flags: ;S ;S BND -> IBN ;S TEL -> ITN ;S TELNET -> ITN ;S VMD -> IVM ;S TCP -> IP ;S ;S The Internet Address should be placed in the BBS name field. ;S ;S Previous usage has placed the InterNet address as part of the ;S I-flag (for example ITX:r10_tx@thevision.net) ;S In this format the flag, colon, and address combined cannot exceed 32 ;S characters. However, this practice is deprecated, and new implementations ;S must not place address data in the flag section of the nodelist entry, ;S implementations may however be required to read this data from the ;S flag section. ;S ;S Telnet default port is 23. If the port is not 23 then the port ;S number must be placed after the ITN flag (eg ITN:60177) if the ;S Telnet address is part of the ITN flag (eg ITN:farsi.dynip.com) then ;S the port number should be last (eg ITN:kraut.dynip.com:60177) always ;S remember that the flag cannot exceed 32 characters total. ;S ;S The default ports for other protocols are shown below, and changes ;S from the default port must be flagged in a similar way. ;S ;S Protocol Flag Default Port ;S ;S FTP IFT 21 ;S BINKP IBN 24554 ;S RAW/IFCICO IFC 60179 ;S VMODEM IVM 3141 ;S ;S Actual IP addresses can also be placed in the phone number field ;S using the country code of 000, however, the use of a FQDN is prefered. ;S ;S Note: All IP nodes *must* have mailer capabilities. E-Mail/FTP etc. denote ;S supplemental capabilities only. ;S ;S I. SYSTEM ONLINE TIME FLAGS ;S ;S The flag Tyz is used by non-CM nodes online not only during ZMH, ;S y is a letter indicating the start and z a letter indicating the ;S end of the online period as defined below (times in UTC): ;S ;S A 0:00, a 0:30, B 1:00, b 1:30, C 2:00, c 2:30, ;S D 3:00, d 3:30, E 4:00, e 4:30, F 5:00, f 5:30, ;S G 6:00, g 6:30, H 7:00, h 7:30, I 8:00, i 8:30, ;S J 9:00, j 9:30, K 10:00, k 10:30, L 11:00, l 11:30, ;S M 12:00, m 12:30, N 13:00, n 13:30, O 14:00, o 14:30, ;S P 15:00, p 15:30, Q 16:00, q 16:30, R 17:00, r 17:30, ;S S 18:00, s 18:30, T 19:00, t 19:30, U 20:00, u 20:30, ;S V 21:00, v 21:30, W 22:00, w 22:30, X 23:00, x 23:30. ;S ;S For example TuB shows an online period from 20:30 until 1:00 UTC. ;S ;S Daylight saving time ;S ;S If a node changes online times with respect to UTC when daylight ;S saving time becomes effective (which would be the case with most ;S part time nodes), then this is to be taken into account when ;S assigning this flag. An online times flag assigned to a node should ;S not be altered for the specific purpose of adjusting due to ;S daylight saving time, since large difference files (NODEDIFF's) ;S would result if every node was allowed to do this, e.g. my node ;S used to be online from 2300 to 0800 in local time, which in winter ;S is UTC, but in the summer it becomes BST (British Summer Time). ;S This is one hour ahead of UTC, and the corresponding availability ;S times of my node during the summer period were 2200 to 0700 UTC. ;S Therefore my online times flag would have indicated availability ;S between the hours of 2300 and 0700 UTC, the daily time period ;S encompassing both times, so the flag would be TXH. ;S ;S J. BAUD RATES: ;S ;S The following baud rates are authorized for use in the nodelist: ;S ;S 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 16800, 19200, 28800, 33600 ;S ;S K. Special flag: "PING" without any arguments ;S ;S Meaning: ;S ;S Nodes flying this flag will adhere to the following functionality: ;S ;S 1) PING-function: ;S """"""""""""""""" ;S If a message destined to "PING" arrives at its final destination ;S and this final destination flies the "PING"-flag, then the ;S receiving node will bounce the message back to the original ;S sender clearly displaying all the original via-lines. ;S ;S If a message destined to "PING" arrives at its final destination ;S but this final destination does _not_ fly the "PING"-flag then the ;S message may be deleted from the inbound-queue without further ;S follow-up. ;S ;S 2) TRACE-function: ;S """""""""""""""""" ;S If a message destined to "PING" arrives at a node which flies ;S the PING-flag but is merely passing-through to another destination ;S then the in-transit node will notify the sender of this occurence ;S and will forward the original mail unaltered towards its final ;S destination. ;S ;S ;S Userflags authorized for use in the nodelist ;S ------------ ;S A. FORMAT OF USER FLAGS ;S ;S U,x..x ;S A user-specified string, which may contain any ;S alphanumeric character except blanks. This string may ;S contain one to thirty-two characters of information ;S that may be used to add user-defined data to a specific ;S nodelist entry. The character "U" must not be ;S repeated, eg, ",U,XXX,YYY,ZZZ" not ",U,XXX,U,YYY,UZZZ". ;S The 32 character limitation is per userflag, not for ;S the total of all userflags. ;S ;S New implementations must place a comma after the ;S initial "U" before the user flags. Some ;S implementations will not place a separating comma ;S between the "U" and the first user flag, but this ;S practice is deprecated. Implementations should be ;S prepared to read flags in this format, and must strip ;S the "U" from the flag before analysis in this case. ;S ;S Entries following the "U" flag must be of a technical ;S or administrative nature. While experimentation of new ;S software functions using this flag is encouraged, ;S advertisement is strictly prohibited. ;S ;S For applications other than those shown, or if you ;S have questions concerning the use of this field, please ;S contact your Regional or Zone Coordinator. ;S ;S ZEC Zone EchoMail Coordinator. Not more than one entry ;S in the zone segment may carry this flag and that entry ;S must be the current Zone EchoMail Coordinator. ;S ;S REC Regional EchoMail Coordinator. Not more than one ;S entry in any region may carry this flag and that entry ;S must be the current Regional EchoMail Coordinator. ;S ;S NEC Network EchoMail coordinator. Not more than one entry ;S in any net may carry this flag and that entry must be ;S the current Network EchoMail Coordinator of that Net. ;S ;S ;S SDS Software Distribution System ;S ;S SMH SecureMail Hub - or one of the following variations, ;S indicating the specific level of the hub: ;S ;S NSMH - Net SecureMail Host - only one per net ;S RSMH - Region SecureMail Host - only one per region ;S ZSMH - Zone SecureMail Host - only one in Zone 1 ;S ISMH - International SecureMail Host - only one in Fidonet ;S ;S NC Network Coordinator. This flag is ONLY to be used by ;S the Network Coordinator of a net which has split the ;S duties of NC and Host and the NC does NOT occupy the ;S Net/0 position in the nodelist.
