This new BBS Protocol sounds neat! It is a lot like a project I started
last year. Basically, as I see it, the project should entail the architecture
of a multi=packet, multi-process, communications protocol geared towards
BBSs. It would then involve the development of an application toolkit as well
as the a few applications. I would imagine this should be implemented as some
subset of SLIP, but some framing techniques may be left out, as there will
presumably only a single point to point link.(ie, no source/destination is
necessary). I am SERIOUSLY interested in writing this. The only reason
I have not written it yet is simply that there is too much for one person to
do.
If you are interested in being a member of the project team, and you want to
do some coding, send email to :
celiamrb@garnet.berkeley.edu
We will probably do most of our communicartion via the internet/uucp, but I
still believe we could write this if enough people are interested/willing to
work. I have a lot of time which I am more than willing to dedicate to this,
and I would certainly be willing to be the project coordinator, if the general
consensus of project members approves. Please join the project!
