I've mainly got moderator auto posts here. And having had to rebuild
the BBS, I only have posts back to the start of the year. Mainly or
all bot posts.

Cool, never played with MBSE or BBBS. WWIV and a couple of others are
in my "to play with" list.

Synchronet is what I'm running here but I also have a Magicka BBS installed. I rather like it. It's configured mainly with .ini files and
has LUA for those who like to tinker with that sort of thing. There is
an InterBBS Oneliners LUA script that reads and writes to a message
base for it's oneliners in much the same way that Synchronet uses the SYNCDATA message base for the BBS list and match maker door.
Thought I might as well kick start this echo. What Linux based BBS software
are people using? For myself, I have a Banana Pi running Raspian
Wheezy, which
has both Mystic and Synchronet installed (it has multiple IP
addresses). Both
packages are doing a fine job. It's a case of liking both and not
being able
to choose, so I kept them both. :) With multiple IP addresses and
the right
configuration, I am able to use standard ports for both packages.
Only the Synchronet system (this one!) is currently on Fidonet. The Mystic
system is currently a Fidonet point, and a node on some othernets.

I run a swedish command based software called Sklaffkom, but I cheat a
bit an run it on FreeBSD since it will not compile on Linux anymore and I'm no programmer so I can't figure out why. It used to run on Linux
on a few swedish BBS:es back in the day but the changes done in the
code to make it run on Linux back then are nowhere to be found.

Guess that one didn't get out from Sweden, but FreeBSD, while not
Linux still
has a lot of similarities.

I don't know how common these command driven BBS systems are outside of Sweden. I vaguely recall Waffle being sort of command driven (ie: no
menus what so ever) but that's the only one that I know of.
Sklaffkom actually is developed to support both Swedish and English, as
is also NiKom, another Swedish command based BBS system written for the Amiga.

Waffle was globally known. I did have a brief look at it many years
ago, but never worked with it seriously.

we used it as a door from RemoteAccess to provide email and news capability... never did get it set to use account credentials from RA,
though... you had to login to RA and then into Waffle... i don't
remember if logging out of Waffle terminated the call or if we did get
it to return to RA so the users could do more there...

Interesting way to do it. I simply used GIGO to gate email and news
to my downlinks.

It would have been possible to reeturn to RA, with the worst case being
may have to log in again.
mark lewis wrote to Tony Langdon <=-
i didn't have that... i think one thing was waffle wanting to drop the "modem" connection when the user logged out... i forget what i did to
get around that but it was not ignoring the DTR... when loggin out of
waffle, in my setup, it did return to RA with no problems... i think we may have done the "relogon" thing around the same time... i recall
having that because memory was pretty tight still and swapping out was
ok for somethings but not others... so yeah, i think my waffle was an
exit with an error level to the .bat to run waffle and then it would
exit back with another errorlevel which i used to relogin to RA or to
go on back to the mailer since the line was disconnected... that was
quite some time back, man :)

GIGO didn't exist when i was doing this... in fact, FRED was one gate package i tried when i got tired of doing the waffle-as-a-door thing... FRED worked OK but when GIGO came out, it was so much easier... that
was back in the dialup days with FXUUCP and its special UUCICO
program... later on, when we finally got internet out here, we switched
to it and then had to find the GIGOTCP package to get tools to do on TCP/IP what UUCP had been doing on dialup... granted, our internet was
now dialup but we had TCP/IP and could run servers and do email stuffs easier...

Question: Is FSXNet offers echo mail like Fidonet? How many echoes do
they have? How can I join?
