Outpost Telnet Access for BPQMailChat

 If I seem a bit distracted from your course. Please understand that I am now building a digital station
running the below software.
Learning social media is fun when the lights are on/ a bit different when the internet and phone lines are down and you don't have a digi station to use to find out whats going on or get a message to someone or get yourself some help. I hope this passes for some of the homework.

BPQMailChat is a BBS and Chat program specifically designed to interface to the BPQ32
Node/Switch software. BPQMailChat includes basic mailbox functions (handling personal mail and
bulletins) with all configurations modified via dialogs (no files to edit). BPQMailChat supports
MBL/RLI standard forwarding, FBB-compatible compressed forwarding over ax.25 and netrom and
B2F compressed forwarding with other BPQMailChat BBSs. BPQMailChat operates as POP3, SMTP
and NNTP servers, allowing standard Internet mail and news clients (e.g. Outlook, Thunderbird) to
send messages to, and receive messages from the BBS. This gives the ability to send locally input
messages to an Internet email account, and receive responses back from the recipient. A content
filter to hold messages with objectionable content is available. BPQMailChat also functions as a
networked chat/converse node with named topics, creating virtual chat rooms.
In addition, BPQMailChat also supports full Winlink functionality. RMS polling of individual user
callsigns via either a local RMS Packet station or over any RF link is possible (without the dreaded
SSID issues). BPQMailChat also supports Winmor TNC and SCS Pactor modems for BBS forwarding
and connections from outside users via RMS Express or other client software.
To setup Outpost to access BPQMailChat via telnet, proceed as follows...
1. You must first be running a BPQ telnet port. The telnet port could be run on either a local BPQ
machine (located in the BPQ directory) or via the internet on a remote BPQ machine. You must
modify BPQ32.cfg to add the telnet port and include a callsign and password for each user that
wants to access BPQ via telnet. The telnet port configuration also sets the tcp port number for user
access. You may need the sysop to make these changes for you if using a remote system.
Instructions can be found here for creating the BPQ telnet port.....
