    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
    messages, and browse the files...

    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.
