Pls. advise how to connect Mystic BBS under the command line on MacOs
via internet? o_O
You're probably looking for FIDOPOLL.EXE :) To send all outgoing mail
type "FIDOPOLL.EXE SEND" or to poll everyone type "FIDOPOLL.EXE
FORCED" and to see all options (help) just type "FIDOPOLL.EXE"
Of course you must be in the Mystic home folder (usually /mystic)
OK, I will ask my question another way.
There are no new technology in our progressive time, to connect BBS not by dial-up, but thorough internet protocol?
I have not used BBS for long time, sorry for dumb question.

it depends on the BBS and how the operator has set it up... some only offer telnet access... others offer telnet and ssh and maybe even rlogin... some offer web and ftp access as well... it all depends on
the system...
Actually, most BBSs are Internet only these days. The reference to "fidopoll" is in fact part of Mystic's mailer, which only sends FTN
mail over the internet, using a special protocol called BinkP, which
was designed for Fidonet over Internet mailer transfers.

OK.) So, how can I log-in to bridge.vkradio.com? Need some
login/passw/any special port?
No that one runs Synchronet (with binkd as the mailer), but bridge.vkradio.com is. :)
Connect using SSH on port 222, it should tell you how to register as a
new user.

So can you advise any Mystic's BBS to login over SSH?
But I'm affraid will need port, login and pasword also.
Incorrect port?
All correct. It's your SSH terminal. You will need to enable older protocol support or use a BBS terminal emulator like SyncTerm.
