DYNDNS: End of Free Service
By Daryl Stout, 1:19/33
The DYNDNS service has announced that all free accounts will be
shut down at the end of the month.
Users of that option will either have to convert to a paid (VIP)
subscription, or find another Dynamic DNS client. This is
because their IP addreses are dynamic (changing), and not static.
Some of the BBS's Netmail connects are in this situation, and I
am waiting to hear from the connects on their new status. This
is so I can not only keep the netmail and echomail flowing...but
also to modify the "Selected Other Telnet BBS's" bulletin,
available at logoff, and from the BBS Related Doors Menu. If you
are affected by this, and your domain name has to change for your
BBS, and for the netmail/echomail, please reply either to
wx1der@gmail.com or to daryl.stout@wx1der.dyndns.org -- this way,
I can update my IREX settings, and the "Selected Telnet BBS's"
bulletin on the system.
As for The Thunderbolt BBS itself, there will be NO CHANGE to its
address of wx1der.dyndns.org -- as I not only use their VIP
service for a dynamic DNS lookup, but also their email forwarding
service, to send email to/from the BBS. The primary use for that
is the sending of the random numeric code to new users, that they
will have to enter on their next call to be upgraded.

INFO:
Fidogazette is published by Janis Kracht, Editor, with the help
of Richard Webb (Old School ToolBox). If you have an idea for a
column or a series of articles, please contact me :)
New!
Mailing-List subscriptions via
www.filegate.net // lists / ?p=subscribe
but of course you can always link into your uplink and use
Tick or a tick compatible program.
Where to Send Your Articles
Unlike most editors, I surely do not mind running my mouth
when there is a sparsity of articles for the 'zine. I'd
MUCH rather you sent in material... lacking that, I will
fill these issues with my meanderings and thoughts and
hopefully we will grow into something of consequence here
:)
Write an article!
If you WOULD like to submit an article, feel free to drop
your article off at:
Email attach to address: janis @ filegate.net
Fidonet attach: Janis Kracht at 1:261/38
Modem: 607-200-4076
Binkp: 1:261/100 filegate.net port 24555
telnet mailer: filegate.net
If you are using routed Fidonet mail, don't send articles as routed
attaches. They will fail somewhere along the path before getting here.
Send them instead direct to filegate.net.
Give it a title, sign your name and network address if you have
one and send it along!
Don't worry about the format, I can take anything you send me
and mutilate it further as you can see above. Linux is nice
that way (g). Spell checking your own work will help though
(something I'm typically guilty of (g)).
To send reviews or recipes to the Food section, email or
netmail Janis as above.
Email address for submissions to Dr.Debug:
To send a question to Dr. Debug, email a question to:
drdebug @ filegate.net
or post in the fidogazette echo! :)
To send a listing to the FidoGazette bbslist, email your
listing to:
bbslist @ filegate.net
or post it in the fidogazette echo!
