Hey, I'm working on a WebSocket to telnet re-director for Synchronet, and haveãa few questions:ãã1) Is there a property/method I can use to determine what port the telnetãserver is running on? Currently I've hardcoded to connect toãsystem.local_host_name on port 23, but ideally I'd like the port number toãcome from a variable like the host name doesãã2) Will there be a problem with possibly having multiple connections from theãsame IP address? For example 5 different people could all be connecting via aãWebSocket client, and so the WebSocket server will see 5 unique IP addresses,ãbut then the Telnet server will see 5 connections from 127.0.0.1. If if'sãpossible that some systems have a "only 1 connection per IP" rule in place,ãthat'd be problematic, but I don't know if that's an option, or commonlyãenforced if it is.ãã3) How do I get the service included in the official Synchronet releaseãarchives (hopefully enabled by default, but even if it's disabled but includedãthat would be great too)? Or do I just distribute on my own site and hopeãpeople find it?ããThanks,ãRickã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

The original question was how to discover the *Telnet* port,ãand server.socket.local_port would only do that if the script was running inãthe context of the Telnet server, so I think the point is moot and the sbbs.iniãparsing is probably your best bet. I would use the file_cfgname() method to getãthe correct sbbs.ini filename derivation however, as there can be multipleãsbbs*.ini files to choose from.ãã digital manããSnapple "Real Fact" #81:ãAlaska has more caribou then people.ã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

I see that's actually the method used inãftp-web-html.js (although to get the http port in that case).ãã > I would use theã > file_cfgname() method to get the correct sbbs.ini filename derivationã > however, as there can be multiple sbbs*.ini files to choose from.ããOK, I've updated the script accordingly (using ftp-web-html.js as aãreference), thanks for the heads up on that.ããRickã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
