  • Connecting to the GoldMine Door server

    From Gamgee@VERT/PALANTIR to All on Sun Oct 20 08:02:00 2024
    Hello all,

    Recently stumbled across the "GoldMine" door server and I like some of
    the games/functions it has to offer, so I've added it to my BBS. The
    one thing I'm having trouble with is the exact command line to use when connecting from a Synchronet BBS. The server wants a [TAG] (which
    identifies your specific BBS) in front of the username that is passed on
    the command line, and I can't seem to get that to work. I can still
    connect to the server just fine, and it all works well, just doesn't
    have the requested "BBS ID" [TAG] displayed.

    Any SBBS operator using this door server? Could you share the command
    line you are using? Thanks.

    I tried setting it up, I assume you're using something like -c XXX%a to pass a 3 letter tag plus the user alias. When I connect it just displays my full name.

    Maybe -c isn't working as advertized.

    Oh, you have to use -s which doesn't make sense to me but there ya go.

    ?rlogin goldminedoors.com:2513 -s ETL%a

    This passes ETLnelgin to the door server.

    Bingo! Yes, it doesn't seem to make sense to me either, but it does indeed work... Thanks, appreciate it.
