I have an iMac Retina with a 3.1Ghz Intel Core 15, running macOS High Sierra (ver 10.13.2) and would LOVE to find a simple, easy to set up BBS for it.

It just sits there otherwise, taking up space, and doing nothing.

Any assistance would be appreciated, especially since I am a noob when it comes to macOS.

Thanks

That's a lot of horsepower for a BBS, but if it's doing nothing...
I believe Enigma1/2 runs on OSX. I'm sure there are loads of others that'll
run on OSX either natively or using a VM (or Wine) and run under
windows/Linux.
I like Mystic, but that does not run natively under OSX :(

I'm fairly certain there is indeed an OSX version of Mystic (both 32bit and 64bit versions, even!).

And replace 64 with 32 for the 32bit version.

I'm not sure how many other options there are, but Mystic has a macOS version.

i don't see one with an 'l' (ell) on it ;)

Yep, you are correct, my mistake. I was thinking of Netrunner, which no longer has an OSX version.

You can use Mystic. I have a MacBook Pro 2015 here with me and I have setup a point system using Mystic for MacOS. Works like a charm.

I can help you out if needed, but you will also be able to find support
at the MYSTIC area. Mystic can be found at www.mysticbbs.com.

Well, I run Mystic natively on OSX, the author has compiled it for both
32 and 64-bit versions.

ENiGMA is also a fair choice.

Not that I need something else to do - LOL - but I have a ton of
MACS at work with broken screens, etc. - even some xServes that
are no longer in use. You're making me want to avoid this thread...

LOL

Correction - there IS an OS/X port of Mystic available (realizing that I may
be answering an old message, but having to rebuild my main WINServer system from scratch.
