Using VADV32 with an Existing BBS
This document explains what should be done to adapt your current BBS to use a new installation of VADV32. These are not step-by-step instructions but a set of guidelines you should follow.
Telnet-Only BBS
These are some guidelines to follow when converting an existing dial-up BBS to a telnet-only setup.
  • A new installation of VADV32 already contains all of the settings you need within VADV32.
  • Make sure you turn off any auto-loading batch files that may attempt to load your old dial-up nodes.
  • Update your door configurations so they are setup to use a fossil driver on COM1.
Telnet w/ Dial-up BBS
These are some guidelines to follow when adding telnet to an existing dial-up BBS.
  • A new installation of VADV32 may change some settings we need to continue to use dial-up nodes.
  • Go to VADV32's configuration. Set the number of telnet nodes to your preference. Click the nodes tab. Disable "Telnet-Only System."
  • Go to VADV's main configuration and set the number of active channels to the number of telnet nodes you want plus the number of dial-up nodes.
  • Go to the channel configuration. You will have to "move" your dial-up nodes to a node number after the telnet nodes. This will allow VADV32 to handle maintenance and other parts of the BBS.
  • You will have to update your door configurations and move your dial-up nodes as well as changing the current setup to use a fossil driver on COM1.
