XBBS-NET is now starting it's first phase of beta testing. This program, written by Lance Ellinghouse, starts new phase of networking between XBBS sites. Basically, it is a simulation of "Echo Mail" which is used by Fido and Opus sites. However, because of its nature, it cannot tie directly into the above mentioned systems. When Lance and I get the software into a release form, it will be available on his and my systems for downloading. So far, all seems to be working properly, so it should not be too long before public distribution will be available. Unlike "Echo Mail", the connections are made via uucp. The message handling is controlled by a program which is called via a uux command ( just like rnews ). When distribution is available, I will post a message on the net.
