QWK -> FTN , LOCAL -> FTN

From Amessyroom@VERT/TL-QWK to Dumas Walker on Fri Feb 6 07:20:51 2026

I'm testing software project called BinkTerm-PHP.

I'm using it as a web based Fidonet point reader.

I have had success in getting my FTN echoes to be accessible.

But was wondering if there is a way to configure message areas that are QWK
and/or local to the BBS, so they could be added to the point system via
areafix like an FTN message area.

This would give me access to DoveNet on the point software, and possibly
local message areas I've created like bulletins.

I offer Dovenet via FTN here.

If you are trying to link it as a point reader to your own BBS, then you would need to go into the Network Options for each one of those areas and set these to Yes:

Gate Between Net Types
QWK Networked
FidoNet Echomail

Also, this is the Sports area, so it might not have been the best place to ask. ;)

Thanks for responding in the sports area. don't know why or how I posted to sports :-)

But maybe I'm missing the "fidonet echo flag" for the qwk sub-board; I figured out the Gate Between Net Types but have not been able to post back into area. Maybe that is my mistake.

Thanks.
