My Internet BBS Systems

Last Update 8/2/2013
I have Create two Graphic to show How My Atari Connect to the Internet. I have a DSL Internet connection from AT&T. Here is something you need to know if you have an AT&T DSL connection. The Modems that AT&T sells do not allow port forwarding. This is something new from the last time I had to replace my DSL modem. So I purchased my DSL Modem from BEST BUY for half the cost of the AT&T. With this DSL modem I was able to setup a DMZ that send all my internet port activity to my router that runs my web site and BBS. I run everything on the BBS Router by fixed IP Only! I have the other Access Point Setup for other purposes. Having them separated like this on different channels allows for better load balances. This configurations lets me see my web site and BBS Systems just like you do since each of the routers must go to the internet and come back to get to each others systems. If you click on the DSL modem it will take you to the web page of the DSL modem I am using. Each of my Linksys 54gs have had there firmware upgraded to DD-WRT.

This is a basic Atari Slave Configuration. Farther down is the configuration I use. the single one piece of equipment that allow the Atari to connect to the internet is the Lantronix devices. I use 3 different Lantronix devices. I use a WIBOX, MSS100, and MSS4. Should you decide to get your own Lantronix Device I recommend the WIBOX the WIBOX and MSS4 are still supported by Lantronix. Next I have an AtariMax USB SIO2PC attached to each Atari Slave. I have a secondary network where each of my APE devices have the same ATR mapped on my PC fileserver that also runs my WEB Site.

I have to tell all of you if it were not for the help of several Atari 8 bit Users I would still not be online after the lightning strike. T. Rahbar, Ken Jones, Slor have provided direct help that makes This WEB Site and BBS System work. I just want to say Thank You to each of you for your support and help. Which provides a lot of information for the Atari Users.

My Atari 8-bit Multiplexer Setup.

Software:

The Software I use from the dos up I have written. I use RealDos 1.0a Build 30 and Tcpip Express Version 7.0d which I took my BBS Source and modified it to run on the Internet and support the new hardware that has been built by a lot of gifted designers and use the Really COOL Lantronix Serial to Ethernet Servers.

Hardware:

I have a lot of supporting equipment not listed here for both the Atari 8-bit and My Windows 2003 file Server and workstations.

Internet connects to a Netgear dsl modem The modem connects to a Linksys Router that is running Open ddwrt software. I am Running two Linksys Routers linksys takes care of my Atari and My WEB Server Protected The other Linksys is open so the truck stop I live next to can have internet. almost Every thing on my network runs
wireless. The Truck Stop has one of those really high sign. My past luck with the big lightning rod has caused me to lose money and equipment and the time involved in rebuilding things.
I am in the process of writing code to transfer data from the Atari to my web site.
