I lost the board when I tried to install Red Hat 6(?) and it saw the bbs partition and formatted it. I don't remember if I read the instructions correctly or the option I selected. So without a backup of the users, i just shut down the board. :-(
To keep on the topic of linux, I did try to setup a BBS to run linux and even tried to setup a gateway for the echomail to newgroup but didn't get it off the ground at that time. The boards that I know that are still up and running are Filebank run by Terry Roati, Lighthouse BBS by Peter Que (the longest running board in the Philippines). Eddie Salonga's Livewire board. I had a call from Emerson Balbin(?) the other month and he mentioned that his board crashed recently so I don't know if he has got it up running yet. There is still one running in Pampanga by Jun Martin and one in Subic by Stewart Buckingham. And for those interested with dynamic ips, you might be interested to note that Filebank is connected to the net via destiny's cable modem. You can login to the Filebank and be able to surf the net with Wildcat navigator(?) or RAS. One can also access the board from the web. Check out http://www.fidonet.ph Uses port 81 to go around destiny's lock on port 80. God bless.
