Re: Are there any real TBBS sysops still around



If you can setup a DOS machine with IPX and a Windows NT machine with IPX you should be good to go!

There's some instructions on using TIAD at http://www.tbbs.org/tiad/ If you need more assistance than that we have plenty of support forums.

There are known issues with running it on Win95, 98, and ME. So the path of least resistance at this point is NT4 or better. :) (We've tested in on NT4, 2000, XP, and 2003 Server.)

What a surprise...

I thought TBBS had all but died.

I was a TBBS SYSOP back in the early 90's, starting with single line and moving
up to MULTI after about a year, ended up having about 8 lines when things were
really going great.

I just discovered TBBS.ORG, and joined up, I'm hoping someone can help me out,
while I can find my old Digicomm board, I can't find any of my original software
(I seem to remember that it was on 5.25 disks, now that dates me).

I need to set up a small BBS for a short period of time (maybe longer), and was
hoping to see if I could get it to run via telnet (from what I'm reading it
looks like I can).

If there are some old timers here that might remember "The Final Frontier BBS",
drop me a line.

Please feel free to eMail me.

This group seems to get a lot of spam.. just curious as one who ran it,
still has them red and black binders..

Whats the story on www.tbbs.org ??? eSoft looks like they dont give a bugger
about us..

I put my TBBS software to sleep back in the mid 90's.. but I want to wake it
up now...being a Tmail beta tester back then was fun (it ended up being
Flame).. but Larry Lewis' Tmail program did provide the inbound feed for the
entire 3:712/x fidonet feed in Sydney.. It was fun..

Anyone has any idea what happened to the TBBS developers ?? like Mr Phil...
Bob Hartman.. Allan Bryant and Adam Hudson..?? Would be interested..

Regards,

John
