I am attempting to set up a WWIV bbs but I am having some issues. 1st, the board is being run on ubuntu in a Hyper-v VM.
The problems are I keep getting an error "[networkb]: Unable to Acquire Network Semaphore: /home/wwiv/wwivnet/networkb.bsy"
Another problem is that the board thinks I am the NC. When I try to send an application for a node the system sends the message to me.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Wow Anchorage! I have a sister-in-law that lives there. So cool. I've only visited Fairbanks, when my brother was still living. Beautiful place. But I could not stand the cold, and I would gain for weight than I already have!

Yeah, it can get cold here and winters are a bit too long, but I came here from Baltimore, MD and the summers were just too hot and humid for me. Summers here average around 65 so not too bad. I go out on my balcony when it is 40 and sunny wearing shorts and a t-shirt and it feels like 60 so not bad. I think the average temp in winter is around 17 but it does occassionally get to -20 for a day or 2.

Yeah, I couldn't deal with the below 32 for long periods. I lived through a few winters with below zero days, in Mass. but that was when I was a kid. I have been in the south since 2nd grade.

The summers are hot and humid here in NC, I hate the humidity. Makes it so miserable.

We actually got some snow last month!

I also wear shorts in 40-50 degree weather and everybody things I'm crazy. I think it is because I grew up in the north, LOL.
