Install a classic multi-node Renegade BBS with telnet support in Ubuntu Linux. Remember the good ol' days? When social networks consisted of nothing more than a copy of pcplus, a 9600 baud modem and for many SysOps, a copy of the legendary Renegade BBS. Wouldn't it be great to revisit those days using your Ubuntu system. There are many open source BBS resources out there for Linux, but I came up short in finding anything even remotely mentioning renegade and Linux in the same sentence. This left me feeling nostalgically challenged so I set out to find a way to run a telnet multi-node Renegade BBS from my Ubuntu system.

In this instructable, I will show you how I achieved this and hopefully inspire some much needed creative improvements as well. DISCLAIMER: Before we begin, please note that I am not responsible for any damage done to your system as a result of the following processes. Also note that we will be opening multiple TCP ports for direct connection without any Linux authentication. This is most likely a security issue. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Install DosBox (Linux DOS Emulator) $ sudo apt-get install dosbox Create a folder under your home folder called renegade. NOTE: You may wish to create a new user account named 'renegade' and grant it minimal permissions. If you choose to do this, be sure to login under the new account before proceeding. $ mkdir /renegade Get and Extract Renegade BBS $ cd /renegade $ wget $ unzip rgv100f.zip Get and Extract the FOSSIL driver. $ mkdir foss $ cd foss $ wget $ unzip FCI0106.zip $ cd.

Start DosBox $ dosbox Install Renegade BBS in dosbox. Z: mount c /renegade Z: c: C: install When the installer asks you for the 'main path' of the bbs, enter in 'c:'.

Keep the DosBox window open. To create a generic config file for DosBox, type the following command into DosBox. C: config -writeconf n1.conf Exit DoxBox C: exit Edit the config file $ gedit /renegade/n1.conf Find the section labeled serial and change its contents to read as follows. serial serial1=modem listenport:2000 serial2=dummy serial3=disabled serial4=disabled Now find the section called autoexec and add in the following lines(it should be the last section). autoexec mount c /renegade c: cd foss fci.exe cd. Renegade.exe -N1 Save the config file as n1.conf Now go back and change the listenport on serial1 from 2000 to 2001 Also change the '-N1' argument after renegade.exe in the autoexec section to -N2 and save as n2.conf Repeat accordingly until you have created 4 separate config files n1 - n4.conf, utilizing listenports 2000 - 2003 and executing renegade.exe on nodes 1 - 4 using the -N argument. (I imagine you could essentially create as many nodes as you wish.).

Now Launch the first node using the launcher (RGN1) that we created in the previous step. You should see a screen like the one in the picture below. Open a terminal window and type the following command to test the node.

$ telnet localhost 2000 If all went well in the setup process, you should see a real ugly, default Renegade login screen in your telnet session. You should be able to launch all four nodes and telnet to each of them on ports 2000-2003. Setup your port forwarding on your router accordingly, and invite your friends to check out your new hella underground hella leet Renegade BBS. But what about the cool ANSI menus? The command line seems to lack the ability to recreate those old ANSI characters so it defaults to a basic ASCII type emulation.

Read on to the next step for a simple solution. To proceed you will need to have wine installed as well as have access to an installation of Windows.

(Any version of windows, post win95 should suffice).On your windows installation locate the file 'telnet.exe' under windowssystem32. Copy telnet.exe somewhere on your ubuntu installation and open it with wine. A new window will come up. At the prompt type open localhost 2000. You should now see something a little more sentimentally appetizing.Thank you for viewing my instructable. Please feel free to make any suggestions or ideas for improving the quality and security of this project.-pyro.

Got it going, but ran into a lot of issues when trying to create the launchers. I'm using the latest ubuntu 16.04LTS.

There's no options right-clicking anywhere on the desktop or bars or whatever to make the 'add to launcher' options. I had to go to 'Ubuntu Software - Installed and scroll down to 'Startup Applications' and click it, then click 'Launch' and manually add the item in there, then drag it out and onto the desktop. Christ.Problem 2: I got the dosbox to come up with the appropriate n1.conf and it inits the modem with a simple ATZ and all is well for the most part. Telnet localhost 2000 'Connection refused' it says. Can't get past this point. Got it going, but ran into a lot of issues when trying to create the launchers.
