I'm trying to get a BBS up and running on my ami1000.
sounds pretty simple right?, especially if you use one of the
canned shareware programs, or something like that...
I tried TAG-BBS first, off of FF60 (I think) and I couldn't get all
the way through the generation step without a guru. (usually, I
just barely get into the generation step and get one...)
So i figured, well, maybe it's just something weird here, so I dug
around a little bit, and found a copy of Citadel-BBS, ported from
MS-DOS. Apparently it was a good port, cause I got it to work...
once. Everytime (except for two) it gurus as soon as I try to enter
the SYS-OP function. (and once, in an edit, it overflowed stack
space, but that doesn't count)
Anyone have any suggestions? ie: anyone got it to work?
or should I just give up and write my own?
( where do I find x-modem protocalls? )

I recently came across a package called Link BBS, sometimes listed on systems offering it as CommLink. It is a simple, shareware BBS which is still in Beta test, but I have found it to be bug-free as far as it goes. If you want a usable, configurable system that costs under $25 ($35 gets you some kind of update registration), you should check it out. BTW, to all you programmers out there, I'm glad to see that interest in writing BBS systems is on the rise. I get the feeling that within a year we will probably see a renaissance in Amiga BBS shareware not unlike the one we all witnessed in terminal emulation software in the first year or two after the 1000 became publically available.

Version 1.3 of TAG-BBS does not guru during setup. There is a BBS in Sacramento running that version -- 2 months and no problems. I have that version with source code on my BBS. +-----------------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | -Al Harrington ________ | Instant Guru -- All Amiga BBS! | | |__/\__| | (916) 457-7176 | | | 60 Megs! | | ..ucbvax!hplabs!hprnlin!alan | GT Net/Node 005/002 | | ..ucbvax!ucdavis!csusac!athena!haringtn | Baud: 1200/2400 Hours: 24 | +-----------------------------------------+---------------------------------+
