  • A test message from SpudNet

    From larcyn@21:1/999 to All on Mon Nov 9 21:29:02 2026
    Hey there, greetings from Edmonton Alberta.

    This is my first official message to the network from SpudNet. I have been following along with Avon's youtube videos and figured I would message to say howdy.

    ... I know a good tagline when I steal one!

    I think I managed to get all of this configured right (and yes I realise I am replying to myself here)

    Though when I am polling for new messages, it seems to only be bringing in new since last poll. there is no x days of old messages. I suppose once I configre that to work right I might be able to start partaking in conversation here.

    You'll need to apply for a node. The 999 test node has some limitations but your own node will not.

    One issue with the test node is that if others are also testing you'll miss some new mail and replies.

    Greetings, and welcome to fsxNet!

    If you want your hub to send you the last X days of messages, you send a Netmail to Areafix.

    I forget what system fsxNet uses, but it's either

    %RESCAN D=14

    ...to bring down 14 days of messages from all your subscribed echoes, or...

    %RESCAN FSX_GEN D=14
    %RESCAN FSX_BBS D=14

    etc for each echo. Some FTNs support the former, I think this one does, some will only accept the latter.

    Glad to have you on board, enjoy BBSing! :D

    Cheers,
    RetroSwim

    Welcome aboard! To get the old messages, you have to do like RetroSwim said by sending an AREAFIX netmail. You might also want to set up in 'crash' mode instead of poll so the hub delivers new messages as they come and you don't have to poll for them throughout the day.
