I myself should be suggesting my own work, premature as it is. Currently i am working on a message system (run from the shell) but it is no where near complete. I will however suggest AKCS. Infact, the system i am currently at is the home of AKCS. This software has linking prgs, etc, so that you can connect systems together by sending new items back and forth. This system currently connects 4 systems, and the more the better. For more information, contact Karl Denniger at (312)566-8909 voice, (312)566-8911 or (312)566-8912 for the system. You can also send mail to ..!ddsw1!karl -- Karl Meiser ..!att!spl1!ddsw1!koala I said that?? I musta been sleeping!

I think I saw an answer to the bbs for unix system question fly by. Someone recommended XBBS. They said you could get it from (714) 898-8634 POC Sanford Zelkovitz Hope I got my fax straight! Does anyone know about or use XBBS? Is it Public Domain or commercial? Do you get source? Above all, does it support Kermit? Stephen Northcutt (snorthc@nswc-g.arpa)

You get source and it supports a number of protocols as separately run processes. I haven't seen the later versions, but the one I have is not remotely table driven, so adding or deleting protocols involves hacking a huge switch statement. I changed mine to use the rzsz stuff for all [XYZ]modem stuff, too. Comment: XBBS has a reasonable user interface, and people like it. The version I have is not the latest, and I understand that improvements have been made in modularity and coding techniques, so my impressions of the code are probably out of date. You might also consider UNaXcess, available from Brandon Allbery, allbery@ncoast. -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {uunet | philabs | seismo}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
