    From Spring@1:103/705 to All on Sun Jul 21 15:03:42 2024
    Hi everyone,

    I'm posting here since on the internet there is not much documentation for it,

    I want to setup a Hotline service on my bbs to allow connections thru a hotline

    client, the problem is, once i enabled the service and attempted a connection

    with many hotline clients the server just refuses it, (it's not a ports issue

    since it's running on a VPS with all ports open) I tried to look up for answers

    on the internet but other than the synchronet wiki page showing the default

    configuration i did not find anything useful,

    does anyone have any informations about it?

    I appreciate all the help you can give me.

    Thanks

    EDIT: by hotline client i mean something like http://ubersoft.org/pitbullpro/

    Check that the proper TCP port is actually bound and listening (e.g. using netstat or similar tool on the server). Check the server log output for any errors. Try using a network diagnostic tool (like netcat) to attempt a simple TCP connection to the port/address in question rather than using a special client.

    Hi,
    I might have misinterpreted the "Hotline" service, i thought it was something en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotline_Communications but I was probably
    wrong.

    still thanks for answering I appreciated it!

    I think that's exactly what it is, but it appears to be a hotline *client* not a server/service.

    After further analysis and discussion with Deuce, it does appear to be a hotline *server*/service (not a client).
