I figured I would post this since it is hard to find BBS's that support the 8-bits. I got the file from Computer Software Service's BBS. (see below for BBS listing) I also had a question for the netters: I am still relatively new to UNIX. I wish to put Usenet newsgroups on my 8-bit BBS's. I don't think anybody's tried this before (if anybody has, please e-mail me!). I can handle the 8- bit end of it, but am totally lost on the UNIX side. I used to run a network of Carina I boards many years ago, so I understand in general how I want to do it, but need some help. Namely, how do I: Post a news message to a given group, from a file which has been uploaded with, say, X-Modem 1K. The name in the From: line must somehow be changed to the BBS user leaving the message, so e-mail will get to the right user on the BBS. I have the same question regarding sending mail and am quite lost on reading mail. As far as x-ferring messages, I have that completely figured out: I will use fgrep on the active file to determine the highest message in a given newsgroup, then send each 'new' file directly from the news directory with X-Modem 1K or y-batch.
