    is this a fido style network? I am interested in joining. I have never setup a fido styl network before. I heard it was a real pain in the butt.

    Who do I ask about joining, and is there any documentation on setting up? If it's a qwk network I can setup in a few minutes.

    There's an application at this website. That's how I started the process not too long ago:

    I don't know, I didn't think it was that complicated. It is a fido type network. You should ask

    Thank you for your interest in HobbyNet.

    I don't currently support QWK, but I can try and set it up if it is totally necessary.
    Generally nodes use BinkP with port 24554 but other ports are used as well.

    You can go to:

    It IS fido type. What BBS software are you using? Other sysOPs can certainly assist
    you. If you are running Mystic, I can certainly assist.

    I am very interested, I have never set up a fido style network. If you are willing to help, I'm down. I actually feel kind of bad asking for help.
    Maybe I should stick with qwk networks. It's not anyone's place to help me

    I am running synchronet. One of the hardest bbs software to use. At least from what I gathered from various ai sources. I am new to running a bbs, it's only been up three months. I feel like I should have a better board by now. Synchronet can do so much, the documentation is huge. To read it all, it would take some time. I kind of feel bad asking for help. It's not anyone's responsibility to help me.

    Try logging into hobbylinebbs.com with a user name you want to use for QWK transfers.
    Once that profile is confirmed I will change the security level for QWK.

    Then you would log in with the user name preceded by an exclamation point. IE., ! username
    and the password.

    Select the conference areas and configure it on your end, then try posing 1 message to
    test it.

    I believe Robert Wolfe is using QWK. He can help you if this doesn't work.

    I believe Robert Wolfe is using QWK. He can help you if this doesn't work.

    I also have a Synchronet system that offers QWK networking for other
    networks and can offer to let him pull it from here if FTN or QWK from you fails. It looks like I have a few echoes missing but can add them.
