    Welcome to Scooby's Doo BBS.

    I hope you find the BBS friendly and useful and I look forward
    to seeing you around again. If you have any questions,
    please leave me a note. Enjoy the Games, read and write some
    messages, and browse the files...

    Can you please fix your system, so that it posts the welcome message to your local message base, and not to
    the FSX Ham echo.

    Hi Gary,

    Welcome to Scooby's Doo BBS.

    I hope you find the BBS friendly and useful and I look forward
    to seeing you around again. If you have any questions,
    please leave me a note. Enjoy the Games, read and write some

    If you are using the default Windows 95/98/NT Telnet Program, STOP!
    There are several good programs available that are much better.
    Visit the files menu and look in the "internet" area. I recommend
    Mtelnet, a great application for windows or OS/2. If you currently
    don't have the ability to download with your terminal, copy this to
    your WWW Browser:

    ftp://scoobys.tzo.com/internet/mtalph~1.zip

    Thanks for logging on to Scooby's Doo!!

    Your BBS ad is being posted in the FSX_HAM area. I think you meant the FSX_ADS area?

    Just a heads up. :)

    Hope this is old, cause web browsers don't support ftp:// links anymore :(

    Use wget or curl.

    Use wget or curl.

    Of course I know what _I_ can use, but the person's instructions are for other people :).

    Not all browsers fail to get files from an ftp link. Lynx will grab files from an ftp or gopher server as always although it's a text browser.

    I use firefox most of the time and it won't grab files from an ftp link, I find that annoying.

    It's a pain in the ass but curl or wget will get the job done if needed.
