RE: BBS (MBSE on FreeBSD)
Just for your information and hopes this will be useful to people, i seen the recent talks about BBS on FreeBSD and got curious. i went and installed mbse and its actually very neat. I only have a few years in computers so i wasnt around in the real bbs days so this is a rather cool learn for me. The purpose of this email is intended for the man who was questioning about having a BBS on FreeBSD. (i forget your name and email, My website archives freebsd-questions but the mail file deletes every itself every 24 hours.) I installed mbse out of the box with practically no problems. It also appears to be rather nifty. You can telnet to unixhideout.com and login as bbs if you want to check it out. Im just beginning with this bbs stuff but im not an idiot so a message to the kiddies on this list with nothing better to do. I'll catch you and whoop you. :) -- Independent WWW/FreeBSD/Linux/Unix consultant, email me for more information.

Re: BBS
Quoting Remington [EMAIL PROTECTED]: As a side project i would love to start my own telnet(ssh) BBS box using FreeBSD. I was looking through the ports and i could not find any software. Does such exist for FreeBSD. Any pointers/tips in the right direction would be a huge help. I found a number of useful leads using a google search BBS Unix. The info I gained 2yrs ago wouldn't be much use to you today :-) If you would like a Fidonet-compatible BBS, mbse looks very good. http://mbse.freezer-burn.org/ You could also try these http://cvs.physcip.uni-stuttgart.de/cvs2/current/ http://www.archives.thebbs.org/ http://www.mysticbbs.com/mystic/ http://husky.sar-gmbh.com/ http://www.bbbs.net/ http://www.fidonews.org/software/index.shtml#toc http://www.geocities.com/soldaini/fidogallery/#Editor http://www.elebbs.com/ -- Brian --- This message sent through Adam Internet Webmail http://www.adam.com.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: BBS
From: Walter [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 5:54 PM Subject: BBS I see just a few BBS packages in the Ports area, is there one that considered best; or are there better solutions to offering simple user interfaces? Such as Apache+Perl scripts? Others? Thanks. Walter I assume we're talking BBS='forums' or 'message boards.' phpbb is STELLAR, but I'm not sure if that's made to fit your requirements. The user interface can be a bit foreboding to newbie netizens, and it requires the equivalent of apache, php, and mysql (other platforms are supported---I don't recall what other db's are available). The look and feel are fantastic, the admin interface is web based and powerful, and it's used all over the place. Great stuff, and it's in the ports under /usr/ports/www/phpbb.
