  • QWK -> FTN , LOCAL -> FTN

    From Amessyroom@VERT/TL-QWK to All on Wednesday, February 04, 2026 02:41:43
    I'm testing software project called BinkTerm-PHP.

    I'm using it as a web based Fidonet point reader.

    I have had success in getting my FTN echoes to be accessible.

    But was wondering if there is a way to configure message areas
    that are QWK and/or local to the BBS, so they could be added
    to the point system via areafix like an FTN message area.

    This would give me access to DoveNet on the point software, and
    possibly local message areas I've created like bulletins.

    I offer Dovenet via FTN here.

    If you are trying to link it as a point reader to your own BBS, then you
    would need to go into the Network Options for each one of those areas and
    set these to Yes:

    Gate Between Net Types
    QWK Networked
    FidoNet Echomail

    Also, this is the Sports area, so it might not have been the best place to
    ask. ;)
