   I am messing with my old MBBS stuff and am hoping to find someone who might   
   remember something about configuring Digiboard hardware with the MBBS. I am   
   trying to make this work with MBBS v5.31. (Because there are a couple of   
   modules that were never    
   updated to work with v6.25)   
      
   I have the MBBS running on an old 486.  :)  It works fine and compiles just as   
   well today as it did 20 years ago. I can login to the MBBS console of course,   
   and I am able to login via serial over a null modem connection. I am also able   
   to telnet in by    
   way of a Digi PortServer.   
      
   The MBBS v5.31 did not have any kind of TCP/IP capabilities. The TCP/IP stuff   
   did not come around until MBBS v6.xx, and it was never backported to v5.31.   
      
   The Digi PortServer I have is an external piece of stand alone hardware. It   
   has firmware built-in that takes an incoming telnet TCP/IP connection and   
   routes it out through a serial port. So as far as the MBBS is concerned, the   
   telnet connection is    
   actually a "phone call".   
      
   This is great, but I don't want to be limited to 1 serial connection.   
      
   I got a Digi AccelePort 8em ISA adapter card on eBay. (yes ISA - that's a   
   typo). Everything was brand new and still sealed in the original box and the   
   card seems to work just fine. All of the "driver" software and d   
   agnosis/testing software that comes    
   with it seems to suggest that the card is working as intended.   
      
   However, I cannot figure out why the MBBS isn't responding to incoming "phone   
   calls".   
      
   I know this post is a total long shot, but I'm hoping to find someone who   
   knows something about this stuff who might have some troubleshooting ideas.
