  • HOW MANY NODES??

    From DARYL STOUT@CAPCITY to ALL on Thu Dec 9 00:35:00 2004

    I'm working on setting my BBS up for telnet operations, and using ECommStation (my Christmas present) to run OS/2 Warp, since it's better
    on handling virtual comports with legacy DOS programs than with Windows.
    I'll be using the SIO-VMODEM deal from Ray Gwinn as the fossil driver
    and virtual modem. My goal is to have it going by Spring, 2005, if not
    before.

    My question is...how many nodes GT can actually handle?? In the CB
    simulator info in the host mode documentation, it says there can be up
    to 99 channels (98 for users, and 1 for the Sysop to broadcast
    messages). But, by the same token, it tells of only supporting comports
    1 and 2, with support for non-standard comports 3 through 8. I've got an
    older file telling of someone running 4 copies of GT under DESQview.

    I know that the main GTPATH directory has to be where the main files are...and just only the "required ones"...door batch, if needed...plus
    GT.CNF, GT.KEY, GT.LOG, GT.WIN, GT1900.EXE, GTSYSID.BBS (or GTLDIR.BBS
    if using logon options), HOST2.BAT (for node 2), KEYBOARD.MAC,
    SCHEDULE.BBS, and SYSOP.BBS...are for the other nodes.

    My thanks to Mike Powell, for his assistance already. :)

    PID_FILE.BBS seems to support 32. You will need a special SIO build to
    support more than 4. GT itself can handle anything you can configure it
    with as regards base addresses and IRQs.... I think.
