Run Binkley on Linux for the Zimbabwe point, and it works great, don't do Max here, but I used Squish (Linux) and it worked well enough during the short time I did use it.

Max, I never tried, as I run MBSE BBS and am very happy with it, ask in the Muffin echo you might get some help there ...

THought I"d pick some brains over there. I've heard mixed reviews re: max for linux, but think I'll revisit the topic over that way here eventually.

LIke my dos screen reader about best of anything else in the screen acces for the blind dept. and would like to continue using it. YEt, reliability of the bbs is a real priority.

Thanks,

Do you need a BBS, or would a mail only system work for you?

For such a system I use the Husky utils [FIDOSOFT.HUSKY] (I think), with BinklyTerm as the POTS mailer and BinkD as the internet mailer ...

Works great ... , if you do not need an interactive interface for users ...

If you sent it Friday, it should have been here, my system connects usually twice a day to Bob Seaborn, so I should already have it, unless it has gotten hung up somewhere ...

THat could work, but a telnet available bbs is sure an idea for what I"m trying
to do with this. NOte the origin line.

I'm the operations manager for this group, sort of an ad hoc group of radio operators who banded together. Eventually I"ll take over the domain possibly, or a link to the system for radiorescue.net which just has some informational pages now. Hence a human interactive bbs is part of what we're hoping to do.

nEtmail to you resent, on its way out with this message.


OTherwise I might just do the transex thing as well, but may have other uses for transex as a mailing list manager.

Richard

Well, that might work, for a BBS I use MBSE BBS, been using it since ver. 0.18, and it is now at ver. 0.95, with the GoldEd sysops editor on Linux, want to do a fresh setup, as the current one has come along with a great many upgrades/updates since then, and I feel it is time to do a "clean" install, but am very happy with it, and it gives a very nice telnet BBS as part of the package, and is still being developed

Was main reason for getting back into fido in fact. USed to do fidonet bbs that was quite popular among the residents in southeastern IOwa back in the middle '90's.

I've heard of that. I really like maximus for its text file configuration, a big priority with me. DOn't really intend to switch if I can avoid it. Max 3.x
has some other features I want to implement as well once we're telnet available.

Well I ran Maximus on OS/2 for many a year, then for a period of time used the Husky Utils, and when I needed a BBS again, I was on Linux, and the only package that delivereed, was MBSE, so I moved, and have not regreted it since. It has come a long way since version 0.17/18 when I started using it, and the current version 0.95. Had a few callers, and might again, and reliability is extremely good, it just keeps running, the only thing that stops it tossing msgs. once in a while is when the HDD gets full, which happens a little too often lately ... <sigh>

BTW, did you get my reply to your netmail?

Well, I have just setup MBSE BBS here, to make it accessable via news
reader, and am now using PAN to post here, this seems to work fine ... ,
just need to add a signature block I think.

NOt yet, but if it went HOst routed the host for 1:116 is internet only, and I'm pots only, so he has to do some gaming to route it to me.

IF it went through Janis's system she might have pulled it out of the bunch to send direct when I poll her. Haven't done that yet this morning.
