Back in the day there was a bbs called       dkeep.com that hosted a number of other BBS's for dkeep.com's Swords of Chaos       game. At least 7 separate BBSs' users would connect to the dkeep.com Swords of       Chaos server when the        users entered the game from their own BBS.       >       > For instance, one bbs was gaianet.net. So if a user on gaianet.net entered       the SoC game, they would actually be entering the SoC game on dkeep.com.       Dkeep.com kept track of the users from different BBS's by appending a       character after the foreign bbs        user's account name. So if user "example" from gaianet.net entered the SoC       game, their in-game username would be "example_K" with the "_K" denoting the       user was from gaianet.net.       >       > Other BBSs had other appendages after their users' account names to       differentiate.       >       > I've been trying for a long time to figure out how dkeep.com was able to       setup this host/guest Swords of Chaos game format. Do you think it was       accomplished using this DMA server you are referencing? Please let me know.       >       yep it was the DMA server on vitcom tcp/ip that this was done. in the       Vircom manual someplace              ---       This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software.       https://www.avast.com/antivirus              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
