Thank you for your interest in MBSE BBS! We sincerely hope that MBSE BBS will suit your BBSing needs now and in the future. Some of the features MBSE has: * Open source, written in C, and available for Linux and BSD. * Fully Fidonet capable with these features: built-in mail tosser, TIC handler, front-end mailer, areafix, filefix, and more. * Uses JAM for its message base format * Able to run DOS doors using DOSemu * Able to run Linux-native BBS and programs as doors * Newsgroup and email support for both hosting and gating * QWK and Blue Wave offline mail support * Built-in "filefind" feature * Works with ProFTPD to serve files via FTP * Works with httpd (Apache) to share BBS statistics and share files automatically For first time installing, see the INSTALL file. After a manual installation, the HTML documentation is in /opt/mbse/html. We are working on providing documentation in other formats such as PDF. Distribution naming scheme: mbsebbs-1.1.7.tar.bz2 | | | | | | | +--------- minor patchlevel | | +----------- minor version | +------------- major version +------------------- package name For FTN-style distribution, the tar archive and FILE_ID.DIZ are zipped together in a file with an 8.3-style filename like MBSE-115.ZIP. If you need support, we support MBSE in the following FTN echoes: * Fidonet: MBSE * Micronet: MIN_BBS * NixNet: NIX_BBS Please note that support through the above echoes is our preferred method of support. A note from MBSE's original author: "Since 1 August 2013 I (Michiel Broek) stopped developing this package. But this is a GPL2 licensed open source package so feel free to continue to improve it. I only ask to make it clear to others that it is a modified package. You can do that by changing the version numbers and messages in the file configure.ac and then run autoconf to update the configure scripts." -- The MBSE Development Team
