I wanted to run a bbs out of my dorm room and was wondering if there
were any tutorials on creating a telnet bbs? Telnet becuase I dont
believe the dorm has a phone line.
You have a couple choices out there... 2 in particular, Synchronet and Mystic BBS.... Both are still being supported, both wiil do the trick. I am
currently running Mystic, but I am a full supporter of Synchronet....
Synchronet has a built in redirection server, run a small script and people outside of your room can access your BBS. Both BBS packages run out of the box,just hit the install button. The years and years that have gone into coding these BBS packages ahs left the SysOp little to do.
Grab Synchronet, install it, read over some of the documentation and start asking away....
If you run Synchronet, and you ant to go past the factory defaults you'll
need some understandiing of computers... text editing... if you don't mind a learning curve it's one of the best BBS packages out there.... Mystic on the other hand is menu driven, don't like one feature ... added don't like an other delete it with Mystic's config program.
I'll wait for your questions...
