Waffle source code is NOT available via FTP.  It is commercial software,
and is available directly from the author at $140.

Waffle in binary form for DOS is available as "shareware", ie: pay
if you run it.

It's available at m2xenix.psg.com in the /pub fidonet directory.
Also there is a try-at-your-own-risk Unix version of Binkleyterm.

Rfmail has a supposedly complete installation script, but it made a lot of
picky configuration errors when I tried it on a rather common SysVr3 system.

Try WAFFLE... The source is available by FTP, and it can be configured
to allow external programs to run..
 
Try telneting into phantom.com.. They have WAFFLE setup right now, and
its a very interesting system to boot..

The problem with telnetting to phantom.com to see "waffle
set up" has been discussed before on comp.bbs.waffle.  Phantom
Access has their MindVox system running on software that was
based on Waffle, modified for them by Dell who is some old 
friend of one of the principles at Phantom Access, then modified
further by Phantom Access itself.  

MindVox is a great system, one of the most interesting places on
the Net and cool to be part of, but its a really shitty place to
get an idea of what waffle is, because all you'll be able to do
is drool at software that is custom and not for sale.  If you
want to see a running stock waffle, telnet halycon.com.  if you
want to be rocked, telnet phantom.com, but don't expect waffle.

   To quote from the letters section of the December, 1992 issue of
Boardwatch magazine:

   "For BBS operators, the allure of UNIX is of course the multitasking
multiuser aspect. The overhead of such an all-purpose operating system that
accomplishes these two things is such that it virtually disqualifies itself.
When UNIX affcianados discuss UNIX as a multiuser platform, they are
visualizing a machine running processes at the behest of callers who are
engaged in "transacional level" communications with the host. Writing
messages. Providing input to programs. Viewing results produces by resident
programs. Sure, you can do 16 or 20 lines of people reading and writing
messages on a Unix machine.

   When BBS operators talk about multiple lines, they are talking about
something quite different. They are picturing 20 lines with all of them full
of callers sucking files off the hard drive at the maximum achievable rate -
today 14.4kbps. Downloading files is still the main sport on public bulletin
boards. Even mail is moving "offline" as callers use offline readers to do
thier "transaction level" prcessing and the mail itself is downloaded as a
file. A HOT 486 machine with Unix will fall to its knees and bark like a dog
with six or seven simultatneous lines sucking files at high speed. You could
perhaps run a LAN of UNIX machines with four or five lines on each 486 to
some success. But the installation and operation of a LAN made up of Unix
servers is a dauntingly complex task at this point. I would sooner try to
suck start an Oldsmobile through the tailpipe."

So what about using the best of both worlds?  I have written a utility
that will allow usenet messages and internet email to be imported into
the TBBS message base. UUCICO can be used to gather news and mail for 
a DOS machine. The Unix version of the program will also convert and 
toss a usenet message base from an existing Unix box, if you have the
DOS machine on the network. ( I am currently testing this version on
an AIX RS-6000 machine)

So use your choice of internet access, UNIX or DOS, and use TBBS for 
what it does best... hierarchal message base, easy user interface, 
QWK off-line reader support and all the other good stuff.

WRONG! How do you know whether or not the systems people are

Perhaps they were people who voted for the referendum.. Maybe so.

Well, I have a boring 386 crawling along at 20 MHz, and a Digiport
*dumb* 8-port card (with 16550's), and when I'm cranking 3 (hardware
flow controlled) news feeds at DTE rates of 1 @ 57.6K, 2 @ 38.4K, I only
see about 10-15% of my machine eaten up.  My "state-of-the-art" OS is
ISC's 386/ix 2.0.2, and I run FAS 2.09.1 as my serial driver.  Thruput
on each port approximates 1600 chars/sec.  I don't know the price tag on
the Digiport, but the price of the OS was $2K-ish several years ago.
Standard off-the-shelf parts work like a champ for me!

Oh, yeah, while all that's going on, cnews is happy to continue batching
faster than the serial ports can get rid of 'em -- while it's unpacking
incoming batches.

Sheesh!

Compuserve (CIS) has its own own "e-mail" system that works quite well.
There are "hooks" into Internet, MCI, etc... with special prefixes you can
even send text FAXes and regular mail.

Base rate is $12.00/hour (2400bps). There is a special monthly "package"

Hmmmm. The user interface is old and manual control requires some
getting used to.  For this purpose there are forums accessible by "GO
HELPFORUM", "GO PRACTICE" and the connect charges are halted.
There are communications programs specifically designed to take out the
guess-work of on-line command drudgery: AUTOSIG is good, it's free; I
have used it for two years.
