• TQWNet Setup for SynchroNet

    From DaveW@1337:3/184 to All on Thursday, September 07, 2023 02:25:57
    Hello,
    I posted this below but wanted to put this in it's own post. Since I am a little new to setting up SynchroNet in general. I had a lot of challenges learning the various things a Sysop needs to know. One is setting up Network Messaging. TQWNet and FSXNet had many challenges and hurdles to overcome and without the help of the community, it would have been much more diffucult. People like Bucko, Deon, and Meatlotion (and others) were there for every step that I needed help with. I do want to say thank you again!!.
    I wanted to pass on the exact steps that were made to get my SynchroNet BBS online with TQWNet and document them for others. This will help others who are new to doing this and it will hopefully help the experts by not needing to answer as many questions.
    I invite anyone to host or pass this PDF on to anyone who needs it. My goal













































































































































































































































































































































    was to give back to the community that has helped me so very much. To access the PDF, simply go to my BBS webpage and click on "Interesting Tech Links" and it will be in that list. you can also copy and paste this link:

    I plan on making a similiar document for FSXNet if there is an interest. I













































































































































































































































































































































    also would like to make a text only (without screenshots) version of this document that can be put directly only a BBS.
    Please let me know if there is anything that is incorrect or missing. I am













































































































































































































































































































































    not an expert and just wanted to document the steps I took to get working on TQWNet. I hope this helps others. :)

    Krull,
    I just hope to make the road a little smoother for those who come after me. They can distribute the doc as part of the download packet if the like. It is totally for public use. :) Maybe if i figure out the file stuff, I can document that also. lol
