XQ Weather Not Working After A47 Upgrade

OK so it looks like a lot of people have overlooked some info in the upgrade.txt for Mystic at or around the A47 mark, so I will make some lives easier by describing the issue and how to fix it. Firstly, this only really applies to anyone using Mystic A47+ and the XQ-Weather door, there’s part of the door that allows you to scroll through some weather stats using the Mystic ANSI viewer however since A47 Mystic uses a new ansi viewer, and the configuration is done now with an ini file.

What Can I Use a BBS For?

What is a BBS for? What could I use it for? Reading and contributing to public messages about any topic you care for; Commonly a BBS will be connected to one or more FTN networks, that is, networks that push out echomail (and often files) to any system attached to them, in a similar way to the old usenet message and binaries groups used to be. For me personally, I like to read messages in the various message bases, sometimes I will reply or create a topic of my own, but for the most part I read more than I say.

What Is a BBS?

What is a BBS? Aside from the software that is, what is it and why is it? To me, a BBS (unless it’s supposed to be commercial) is a personal thing, and should exist just because YOU want it and/or need it. Having other visitors use it also is a bonus. If you want to make it a place others want to visit regularly, make it unique, make it exciting, the visitors will come.

The BBS

Let’s jump right to it. Below is an HTML5 Telnet browser with CP437 character set compatibility. Use this to access the BBS if you don’t have a good telnet browser with CP437. If you enjoy using the BBS, and want to be a more frequent user, I’d recommend getting SyncTerm for your computer. It has been designed to be used to connect to BBS’s via telnet.

Fidonet Here I Come

So just over two weeks ago I decided to find out how I could attach my new BBS to a second message network, after I managed to get easily connected to the fsxNet (many thanks to Avon in NZ for your help here). I decided that I would go after the biggest name in EchoMail networks that I know about, one that has been around for getting on for 40+ years if my estimate is anywhere near close.
