Paul,
|
|
I'm a non-programmer very interested in exploring Internet and
|
|
in eventually networking OS-9 machines together smoothly.
|
|
|
|
I'd really like to hear about any developments in TCP/IP and
|
|
other such software for the OSK environment.
|
|
|
|
One of the drawbacks in the attempted (and failed) port of the
|
|
Waffle BBS to OSK was the lack of the ancillary uucp programs in the
|
|
OSK environment which usually come packaged with the Un*x operating
|
|
system(s). If anybody can fly an MM/1 as a realtime terminal on
|
|
Internet, and/or participate in a store-and-forward Usenet/uucp
|
|
network, I really _need_ to hear about it.
|
|
|
|
Thanks for the encouraging report.
|

John,
|
|
I agree with your desire for a TBBS-like program, especially if
|
|
it can include eventually a TDBS-like database support.
|
|
|
|
I feel like a voice crying out in the wilderness continuing to
|
|
ask for at least the option of an ASCII-interface and optional
|
|
non-graphics and non-ANSI support.
|
|
|
|
The ability to specify display-screen width and the extreem
|
|
configurability of TBBS has kept my admiration and appreciation ever
|
|
since I started BBSing about 6 years ago. I just never got around to
|
|
_buying_ the program...
|
|
|
|
Our environment needs both Fido support and Usenet/Internet
|
|
capability, and it would be great if we could have that in the same BBS
|
|
package. A TBBS-type interface would top it off perfectly, IMnsHO.
|

About 3 years ago a programmer who I had working on a port of
|
|
Waffle set up the Unix BBS on one of the systems he was tinkering on.
|
|
It could be his lack of experience in that area, but it really didn't
|
|
work well (at least in that incarnation).
|
|
|
|
The Waffle BBS for Unix employed gobs of Unix-specific system
|
|
calls, and at that point we did not have the appropriate library to
|
|
compensate for that. Waffle causes culture-shock for folks who're
|
|
already used to BBSing in the clone world, but it provides the
|
|
possibility of an ASCII-based BBS interface to be a private Usenet
|
|
newsgroup reader/responder and/or a call-in BBS and/or a leaf or node
|
|
system in a store-and-forward uucp-type network.
|
|
|
|
Somehow, Tom Dell quit sending me updates on my registered
|
|
version of the UNIX (source-code) version. I'd _love_ to contract with
|
|
another OSK programmer (for $peanuts) to attempt the port again, and
|
|
_document_carefully_ the modifications to the code, since Mr.Dell won't
|
|
allow distribution of the resulting binaries.
|
|
|
|
I always thought Waffle was a strange program, but it does the
|
|
job, and if you want to start out with a program that works on other
|
|
boxes, this one works pretty well. We'd also need _code_ for the
|
|
ancillary uucp-family of programs.
|
|
(The lack of the "other" programs has, I think, been the main
|
|
reason why nobody else has attempted this. Any source-code bird-dogs
|
|
out there want to point to sources for the sources?)

Clyde,

A FULL UUCP & MAIL package is about to be released for OSK and the

|
MM/1. There has been much discussion about UUCP, OSK, & the MM/1 over on
|

DELPHI.

John,
|
|
Is this your port of Binkley or someone elses work ? If someone
|
|
elses then will it do all the differant mail networks like Binkley ?
|
|
See my next msg. announcing the available sources for an OSK BBS.

PS I recall several persons were working on a FAX program for OSK
|
|
and in particular Joel Hegberg. Has anything been released in this area
|
|
lately ?

*** Announcement ***
|
|
I have the sources for the OS9 APBBS from Mike Guzzi, Maximus 102 C,
|
|
Craig Crosses OS9 utilities for RiBBS and a copy of Binkley from John A.
|
|
Donaldson all archived and fitting on one 1.4 meg 3.5" floppy disk.
|
|
Anyone interested in working on part or all of the OSK BBS let me know,
|
|
send me a blank 3.5" floppy and $3.00 for shipping and I will put this
|
|
all together for them.
|
|
I am still waiting for the source for RiBBS but may not need it if
|
|
what is included is sufficient.

the real price?
|

Actually, the best way seems to be to just get an address, and send them a

catalogue. I just mailed out around 100, to people who posted their addresses
|

here (Fido) and on Internet within the past three months.
|
|

Hopefully that will elicit some responses. (ie sales!)

Colin,
|
|
As moderator it is up to me to enforce the Fido rule of no
|
|
commercial sales. So if you were to correct an error that someone else
|
|
made in just posting info I beleive it would be permitted, at least I
|
|
would allow it. But if you were to quote and then a customer answered
|
|
and accepted an offer using the Fido msg base then that would be a
|
|
violation.
|
|
I can allow posting a listing of items for sale with prices if it
|
|
is a first time offer but should be clarified with a disclaimer that a
|
|
person wishing to purchase anything should contact you direcrtly by
|
|
voice or mail to confirm the price and shipping costs. Of course there
|
|
is nothing wrong with a person posting his tel. number and/or mail
|
|
address for you to contact him reguarding a sale. BTW what is the
|
|
Internet policy on commercial sales. ?
