    Seeing as there are still Amiga sysops out here, what software are you guys running?

    Since it seems like all texts that I write on my own BBS are getting dropped by
    my hub right now I'm writing this here instead.

    Seeing as there are still Amiga sysops out here, what software are
    you guys running?

    I'm running NiKom BBS (2:201/420) which is running the software with the same name (NiKom). It's something that I wrote in the 90s and brought back to life a
    few years ago as an open source project on GitHub. It has its own little website at http://www.nikom.org.

    Defianetly have to check that out. I love supporting people who still keep
    bbs software going. Neil still works on Zeus, that's why i'm still using it.

    I would argue that NiKom currently is the most popular BBS system in Sweden. :)

    Can Nikom connect to fidonet style networks?

    Yes, it can. I'm writing this in NiKom. (As you can see in the footer and the PID kludge. :-) )

    You need a tosser, like Crashmail II or Trapdoor, that can handle the .msg format, but it works pretty flawlessly since Niklas hacked together a fix for Crashmail II which I (and Niklas) run on Linux and then (in my case) access the
    mail via NFS to that Linux server.

    I cannot see how this is of any interest of anyone, or why this is a question that needs to be asked, or answered. Maybe he uses my BBS because he feels like it? Maybe his own BBS doesn't carry this echo? Who knows, and who cares?

    I was yes since my hub for some reason had started to drop my outgoing mail. (And since I don't write that much I hadn't noticed for a while). It's hopefully fixed now so this is a test of writing on my own BBS. :-)
