Yes, there are two bbs programs that I know of that provide source code,
although in both cases they're pretty old. The source code for Maximus v1.02,
compiled with Turbo C++ is available at www.juge.com, or on my bbs by special
request.
The other one is an early version of XBBS (version 1.18 and another version)
Again, the source code is available for download on my BBS, whose phone

        Keep in mind Goldbase supports up to 500 conferences (possibly more
        if I expand it), and up to a terabyte for the overall storage
        abilities.
        I regularly run my message base up to about 100 Meg of storage, and
        never have had a problem with it.  That's including corruption, and
        so forth.
        In fact, the only time in the last 10 years, when I had a message
        base problem was when I *accidently* erased the wrong directory,
        and thus nuked my own message base.
        I agree Goldbase is not a elligant solution, but it works, it's
        fast.  Plus any program that utilize's Classic Base (AKA hudson)
        can generally be recompiled within minutes to utilize Goldbase.
        After all, the only difference is several variables have been made
        into LongInteger's instead of Words....
        I want to stress that I do plan on adding other message bases, but
        right now the QuickBBS code is being cleaned up, to reduce the amount
        of time for debugging....

Write your reply.

assistant: Please help... I've been running a BBS for 5 years with only one major
interruption until now, and that was because I moved..  Now I am completely
stuck on this problem and my board has been down for almost a week!
Ever since I got my new computer, my OS/2 BBS system refuses to make
connections.  I spent hours poking through the modem manual and SIO reference
and stuff.  I'm using OS/2 Warp 3.0 Connect on a Gateway 2000 P5-133, with 32
megs of ram, and one serial port with a USR 33.6 Sportster connected.
Running registered SIO 1.60 and Lora 2.35.  I have the modem, SIO, and BBS
all locked at 38400.  Running PMLM
(the line monitor that comes with SIO), it looks like, whenever the
BBS receives an incoming call, it immediately drops DTR.  When it makes a
network call, it receives the EMSI request, then drops DTR.
 This happens with both the Lora mailer and when I tested with Binkleyterm
(OS/2 version).  It only happens with BBS mailers -- ZOC, Telix (a
DOS comm prog), WAOL, and Faxworks all work great for both incoming and
outgoing calls.  I'm stumped.  This sort of thing never happened on my old
386.
Has anyone else encountered such a problem?  If so, how did you fix it or
work around it?  If nothing else, can you send me your SIO settings and
Binkley config, so I can compare them to mine?  My BBS is down until this
problem is solved! Thanks*1G.

don't have to worry as they aren't meant to "have to be" reliable, and work

If your bbs didn't worry about carrier, a person dropping it, well it

Write your reply.

assistant: Probably, BBS-systems and mailers trys to init the modem when user drops
carrier. I think you might solve that by looking up the correct init-string.
But that's a think that should be handled by the program via
DosDevIOCtl-calls,
 but I'm probably wrong. Check your manual for the correct init-string.
