Renegade BBS in Ubuntu Linux - Telnet|Multi-Node

Step 4Start and test

Start and test
Now Launch the first node using the launcher (RGN1) that we created in the previous step.
You should see a screen like the one in the picture below.

Open a terminal window and type the following command to test the node.
$ telnet localhost 2000

If all went well in the setup process, you should see a real ugly, default Renegade login screen in your telnet session.

You should be able to launch all four nodes and telnet to each of them on ports 2000-2003. Setup your port forwarding on your router accordingly, and invite your friends to check out your new hella underground hella leet Renegade BBS.

But what about the cool ANSI menus? The command line seems to lack the ability to recreate those old ANSI characters so it defaults to a basic ASCII type emulation. Read on to the next step for a simple solution.
