AKCS(tm) V6.1
The Future in Computer Conferencing is here today.
AKCS is a threaded conferencing package with extraordinary versatility, ease
of use, performance, and most of all, support. AKCS is the answer to your
computer conferencing needs, whether you be a corporate or individual user,
for profit or not.
You deserve nothing less than the best. MCS and AKCS deliver it to your door
and system users every time.
Some key features of AKCS V6.1 are:
o Private mailer functions integrated into the captive environment. Now
captive, secure AKCS users can have access to Unix inter and intra-site
email! Works with smail 2.5 or later (smail 3.0 supported).
o Attached files, permitting the inclusion of lenghty (or binary) files
easily with AKCS postings. Uses any number of external protocols, and
batches files for protocols that can handle the conventions required (ie:
kermit, zmodem, etc).
o Full-screen editor support, with context display, for users who have
cursor-mapped terminals. Your user-defined item and response separator
formats are preserved while viewing the context window.
o Extensible command set, including privilege mask capabilities so you can
allow or deny individial commands to users based on your preferences.
AKCS can handle "calling out" to external programs as well.
o Full internal support for captive, bbs-only users, so you don't have to
issue shell accounts for your system. In addition, easy validation
permits a nearly-unlimited number of security and privilege levels for
your users. Individual commands may be privileged as desired, as well as
the message bases themselves.
o Conference options include read-only (only conference supervisors, aka
fairwitnesses, may post), pseudonyms permitted (real login ids are
masked), attached files permitted (up/downloads permitted), and encoding
permitted (ROT13 internal support), as well as moderated/open status and
individual permission lists and/or bit mask entrance permission!
There are many, many more features available in AKCS -- to many to
conveniently list here. The best way to experience the power of AKCS is to
