Okay...... So can you see how a person cannot follow what you're
talking about? Would *ANYONE* other than a MajorBBS sysop know any of
that? Nope.
You're also asking about Synchronet functionality (rlogin game server),
but when I checked your BBS it isn't even Synchronet. Are you starting
to see how this might be confusing, and you don't give ANY details to
help anyone understand?

You absolutely are *NOT* allowing it inbound, or it would be working.

Many dozens of people have gotten this to work.
Please see above regarding it being an inbound port problem. It seems
crystal clear to me.
I'll really give up now, as you don't seem to actually want to solve the
problem and I'm tired of this game. Good luck.
... Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?
