I'm looking to run a public access BBS running under UNIX

I've tried XBBS.  Is there other alternatives?

	Okay, so that explains what you are running now...what were
you running before SVR4 4.0 came out?  

	Anyway...this isn't the point.  If we are talking about *real*
unix, that can only be the pure one, the one AT&T put out...so what
do we call ESIX...ISC...DELL...?

	While this could be done with TBBS/TDBS, if you're not looking
to spend a goodly amount of money (the base 2 line TBBS version is $300
and 2 line TDBS with the program compiler is about $350), then you probably
should look elsewhere.  If you're a good DOS programmer, it seems that you 
could do your project via RA/QuickBBS or any other PD/Shareware BBS for
that matter, and write your own external module with your favorite
programming language.  However, since you're posting in alt.bbs.unixbbs,
it looks like you might wantto go a similar root with some unix bbs 
(don't have any experience in this field, so I can't be much help)

Well, I'm still writing the *nix BBS Software FAQ.  I got sent out of
town on business and lost a week (on something that's already overdue)
A few places have not yet responded to requests for information.

I don't know about VAX/VMS (or at least won't admit to knowing it) so
I'd probably ask on comp.sys.vms or vmsnet.general.

There's Waffle.  Check out comp.bbs.waffle.  The MS-DOS version is
shareware, the UNIX version is I believe $130 for the source.  It
has been run on a number of platforms.	It works with Cnews.

A .tar.Z file is a file, which was made by "tar", and then compressed using
compress; therefore, you will need the followingtwo programs to reverse the
process: 1)  uncompress ( which is a link to compress ) to uncompress the file
         2)  tar to "untar" the file   ( tar xvf the_file_name )

I see I was mistaken. Thanks for the update. 

How about some details on what you mean by 'fidonet networking': 

Do you mean you are part gated to and/or a part of Fidonet? 
(I think not.)

Do you mean you use the Fidonet network transport protocol? 
(I think so.)

Do you mean you use the Fidonet administrative policy document (no
idea.)

     I'm sorry guys...  I realized after I posted the article that my OLD
telephone number was in there.  The number is NO LONGER 285-7441.  I am not
currently running a BBS, because I'm looking into getting a second line,
which just plain isn't happening.  If you want to call me voice and I'll put
up the BBS for you to download CB 2.18, the number is (317) 285-3648.

     I'll try to FTP it to wuarchive.wustl.edu as soon as possible, and if
Mike wants to post it on his system [is it running?] it'll be available there.

Thanks for putting up the Fidonet editorials. I guess I should have
read them before because FidoNews arrives on Aegis but never felt
any inclination to read them after the first few.... 

One of peculiarities I encounted with Fido in Japan was the sysops
in Tokyo had a requirement that it must be free to the user: that
is, the sysop pays.  They said that this was according to the rules
of Fidonet and quoted the POLICY4 document. When I got the document
and read it, I couldn't find where it said this although it did seem
to lay out some policies that were defintely hierarchical. 

The syops in Tokyo remained adamant so I went with USENET as I
couldn't afford to maintain the host on my own money and need to
have user's contributing to the cause. But I'm still curious: what
part, if any, did Jennings and Henderson and have to play in the
formation of the POLICY4?

How nice of you to help out the police like that.

What if they mentino that they smoke an occasional joint?  What if they
mention an interest in receiving a blowjob (illegal under most states'
sodomy laws)?  You are a fucking pig, and I'm surprised you have any users
at all.  Rename your BBS to The Entrapment BBS and put your cards on the

I sent email to the GEnie people about this, essentially saying that
though I could live with a reasonable per-message fee and startup fee,
"Triple your current membership fee PLUS a large per-message fee" was
completely outrageous.  The response I got back was that they are still
evaluating what the pricing of this service should be.

I certainly hope they manage to remove their heads from where the sun
don't shine before they cast the policy in concrete...  I suspect,
though, that instead they'll say "See, there's no demand for the
service.  We offered it and nobody signed up."

I'd love to be proved wrong, though...

But would load the machine with thoughput which sucks.   Actually, Coherent
would be a better solution than TBBS/TDBS (even with the poor IO and disk
throughput).   There are lots of database
utilities available for UNIX as PDS software -- we have several of them
available for downloading on our BBS --

I used Maximus before I switched to Waffle.  I used Opus before that, and
switched to Max for the same reasons many others did.  Max and Opus are quite
similar because when Opus development hit a total stop for a long time, Max
popped up as a clone where the author actually released the source code,
similar to the situation with RBBS (if you don't like something, here's the
code--change it!).

Anyway, Maximus is an excellent choice for a fidonet-technology system, since
that's what it's designed for.  It's pretty flexible and easy to configure.

You probably can find it on a local fido system, since it's in one of the
distribution nets.  It's probably on the Simtel20 sites, too.

Echomail is 7-9MB/day after compression.

This was a bit surprising and frustrating.  I normally don't read .sigs, and
boing!  Care to explain why?

	There sure is.  So why are you comparing a piece of BBS *software*
to an *operating system*?  Like I said, speaking for myself and possibly
other TBBS operators, I'm flattered that you apparently consider TBBS
to be of such high calibur to be compared against an OS like *nix, but
if you're going to continually bash it because it doesn't have all of the
features of a full fledged OS, I don't see what the point is.
