• Interfacing with message bases from Ios or Android

    From Khronos@VERT/CWSHACK to All on Fri Jan 5 10:51:15 2024
    Are there any clients on either Ios or Android I can use to interface with my system?
    From what I know so far some sort of qwk client might be best as I can interact with all networks on my system in a transparent way with out having to create point nodes for each of my ftn connections.
    Thanks for any advice you can provide.

    Hey, I might be talking out of my behind here, but I think you should be
    able to access your message bases via the nntp server, so via a normal newsgroup/usenet reader. (I have one for android called PhoNews which
    more or less works)
    Of course I am just trying to actually set this whole thing up on my own
    BBS, and right now I am struggling with actually accessing the NNTP
    server from outside. But oh well...

    which actually brings me to another question: why would my access to the
    nntp service get refused. I have port 119 open, but I am receiving a
    message that the service is being refused. I both tried over my dyndns
    address (erebor.synchro.net) and directly via IP and got the message in
    both cases.

    Ok,
    Lets say I setup the nntp client on my phone.
    What from / reply address do I set in my client as I wouldn't want reply messages in e-mail, I'd like them to go back into the message base on my board.

    I use Aftershock on Android. It functions as a point node for FTN, so it can be a little convoluted to set up. You could gate DoveNet into it using zone 723, But I really just use it for fidonet.

    There's also HotDogEd, but it hasn't been updated in quite a long time, and I can't get it to work on any version of Android released in the past few years.

    Beyond that, maybe see if there's an NNTP/usenet reader? That should interface with Synchronet quite nicely.

    If my client is connecting from anywhere in the world how do I route areafix requests back to it with out an ip or hostname to send the NetMail towards?
    Also how do I send the echo list to this node?

    The Synchronet web server and ecWeb work great with the browsers for those devices.

    If you want a terminal experience, there's these: https://wiki.synchro.net/resource:term#mobile

    For all the normal reasons (firewall, port forwarding, service isn't actually running/listening, wrong port number, etc.).

    Start by trying to connect using netcat or similar tool running on the same system that sbbs is running on.

    e.g.
    $ nc localhost 119

    You don't. You set your boss to hold, and you poll for your mail from the app, like people did in the olden days.

    You can either just enable your echo areas from your bossnode for your point, or you can send an areafix request via the app. Aftershock just imports whatever it receives, you don't need to set up an echo list.


    HotDogEd required an echolist, which you could toss on a webserver somewhere.

    You don't. You set your boss to hold, and you poll for your mail from the app, like people did in the olden days.

    I created a linked node on my bbs for the point and in the wizard onder binkp settings I left the hostname blank.
    When ever I send my point a mail message the system still does a dns lookup. p1.f205.n135.z1.binkp.net
    can not be found.

    My setup looks like this:

    [node:1:135/205.1@fidonet]

    That's a 5D address which looks different to BinkIt than the 4D address 1:135/205.1. Try removing the @fidonet (domain) from the linked node and see if you see different behavior.

    You can either just enable your echo areas from your bossnode for your point, or you can send an areafix request via the app. Aftershock just imports whatever it receives, you don't need to set up an echo list.

    If I subscribe to all areas on my bbs this might include all fidonet areas along with fsxnet areas as well so is there a way I can limit this subscription process to fidonet areas only?

    The hub/boss node can control what echoes a linked node (or point) can have access to through AreaFix/EchoList Keys

    If you have the BinkpHost value set for a linked node, BinkIT doesn't try to lookup the address via DNS. So for some reason, BinkIT thinks you're sending to an unlinked node for which it doesn't have the address (hostname or IP addres) set in sbbsecho.ini, so it must find it using DNS.

    You're trying to send mail to your point. That's not how this works. The point needs to fetch mail from your BBS. It will connect to your BinkIT server, much like you "dial in" to your BBS.

    If I subscribe to all areas on my bbs this might include all fidonet areas along with fsxnet areas as well so is there a way I can limit this subscription process to fidonet areas only?

    SBBSEcho should only export areas that are part of your zone/domain for the point. In order to get fsxnet messages, you'd need to add an fsxnet address to your point as well

    At least, I think that's how it works. I never thought about it too much.

    The message areas and their uplinks/downlinks should be in whatever your "AreaFile" is. (most likely <SBBS>/data/areas.bbs)

    This is an Android phone that will connect from multiple location so the ip address will be unknown.

    leave it blank.

    The phone needs to connect to the BBS. not the other way around.

    you set your point node to "hold" status. BinkIT will hold everything until the phone connects, then it will transfer the messages.

    Just set that node status to "hold" in echocfg. Mail that was previously queued will still attempt to be delievered, so you'd have to delete or rename those files.

    I'm assuming you're using Aftershock.

    Your settings should look something like this (these are my settings) https://photos.app.goo.gl/jq3cixkxxUFHxFWeA

    Then you have 2 options. First, in Aftershock you can click "Mail" Then select "NetMail" The click the icon in the top right that looks like an envelope with a + next to it for a new message.

    Fill out your areafix request, similar to this: https://photos.app.goo.gl/BKcvnxpxszUWUAU28

    then click the "send" button in the top right (looks like: |> )

    then, back at the main screen click "Poll Uplink"

    Assuming things are set up correctly with BinkIT and SBBSEcho, your BBS should accept the connection, and process the areafix request.

    SBBSecho will create the netmail response, and package it for your point. You should have your point set up as "h" or "hold"

    Then, click "Poll uplink" again.

    The above process should take mere seconds.

    Aftershock will import the areafix response as netmail. click "Mail" and you should see:

    NetMail
    1/1

    meaining you have 1 unread netmail message. your areafix response.


    The other option is to edit your /sbbs/data/areas.bbs file directly and add your point address to any echos you want to read in Aftershock. Then when mail come into your BBS, SBBSEcho will package it for Aftershock to pick up next time you hit "Poll uplink".

    You do not need to set echos up in Aftershock. Any mail that comes in, it will sort into echos and display them.

    Re: Interfacing with message bases from Ios or Android
    I'm assuming you're using Aftershock.

    Hi,
    Yes I am trying Aftershock for now.
    I have also setup Newstap on my iphone over nntp to see if I can make this process work better for me.
    I'm not sure an ftn connection for me is the best way to attack this problem. What I'm looking for is a common way to access the message bases on my system in a way that I do not have to be woried about what type of network they are connected to from the client side.
    For my mobile phones nttp may fit the bill for this as long as my bbs does the stripping of my e-mail address on outgoing posts.

    In windows I am still up in the air about my method of access as I am not sure of what usenet reader I should use.
    Another idea I had is I wonder if in windows I could turn each message base into its own mailing list where I'd have somebasename@kf4yey.com as the e-mail address and then I would run authenticated smtp and imap on non-standard ports to allow me to send mail through my board in the cloud while using Outlook on the windows side.
    In Linux I would just use telnet over ssh or whatever to use the editor I have built in to Synchronet itself.

    Your settings should look something like this (these are my settings) https://photos.app.goo.gl/jq3cixkxxUFHxFWeA

    I'm sorry I can not see the image in this link because I am blind, and you didn't have any way of knowing this ahead of time.
    I believe I have things setup properly on the client side the issue I am having is I don't think I have things completely setup right on the bbs for operating a boss / point node configuration.
    Another issue is that I would have to create a node for each ftn I want to communicate through and this would increase the complexity on me to do this as well as not being able to have access to Dovenet through my client because it is not an ftn.

    Re: Interfacing with message bases from Ios or Android
    By: Khronos to DaiTengu on Tue Jan 09 2024 10:02 am

    problem. What I'm looking for is a common way to access the message bases on my system in a way that I do not have to be woried about what type of network they are connected to from the client side.


    Maybe you should just use the synchronet web interface to access
    the messages on your system.

    Also you are blind, and that is another hurdle. I've messed around with hotdoged and aftershock. I would suggest doing the web interface route.

    Maybe that was just me. It's been quite a while since I had to
    set up HotDogEd, since it hasn't worked on any phone I've owned in
    the past 2-3 years.

    IIRC I had to adjust some settings for the HotdogEd apps on this phone.

    I'm lucky it still works for me, even after it upgraded to Android 13.

    Could you post your ancho.ini entry?

    Hello, Khronos.

    Hi,
    The sbbsecho.ini file is the file that describes the fidonet peers that the bbs is linked too.
    I was asuming that you were the sysop of the system your point is connected too.
    If your system your are linked through isn't a Synchronet system then this process would be handled through other programs then.

    Ok. You wrote "ancho.ini", that confused me...

    I am the sysop, but no Synchronet here (though I intend to try it some day).

    My HotdogEd points are configured in my mailer (Binkd) and tosser (FMail) just like the other points.

    BTW I have connected to a Synchronet system with HotdogEd, though not as a point, but with its newsreader module (NNTP Provider). Works fine.
