How do I access Bunker 3?
STEP 1 :
Bunker 3 is a Telnet BBS which means it uses the Telnet protocol (not HTTP
or HTTPS like a web page).
Here are links to several clients. Just pick one and install it on your computer.
They all work prettty much the same but for this
demonstration I will use SyncTerm.)
STEP 2 :
Run SyncTERM. You will see a blue box that says Directory.
Type the name
of my bulletin board here (Bunker 3) and then hit your ENTER key.
STEP 3 :
Next you will see a box that says Connection Type. Scroll
down and
select "Telnet" as your connection type. Don't change anything else
on this page.
STEP 4 :
The next box you see will ask you for the Telnet address
of my
bulletin board. Enter this: woofer.v6.rocks:8888
- and then slap your ENTER key again.
(Don't forget the 8888 at the end. That's the port number)
That's it. You're all set. Now whenever you run SyncTERM, my BBS will
be there in your directory. To connect to Bunker 3,
all you have to do is highlight the BBS name and press ENTER.
Of course you can configure the program any way you want.
There are many other bulletin boards out there and you can add
these to your directory later.
What will you see the first time you log on?:
It may take you a few attempts to get in. That's
normal. If at first you can't connect, try try again.
Give it a few seconds to connect and then you will see this screen. This is
your main login screen.
When you see the login screen, just do what
it tells you. If it's your first visit, you will need to
register. Just a name, location, and password. After that, you're good to
go.
