How to setup Outpost PMM using telnet to connect to to BPQ BBS

Use case

I wanted to connect to my local BBS via telnet to download bulletins and send mail.

Prerequisites

  1. Download and install Outpost from https://www.outpostpm.org/index.php
  2. Create telnet user in your telnet port configuration. Make sure this user is your callsign.
PORT
   PORTNUM=1                                     ; Port number
   ID=Telnet Server                              ; PORTS command text
   DRIVER=TELNET                                 ; TCP/IP connection
   .
   .
   .
   USER=EI5IYB,somepassword,EI5IYB,BBS           ; BBS user
ENDPORT

Setup Outpost

Station Identification

When Outpost starts to the first time, it will show the Station Identification window.
Add your callsign and name and click OK
