Hello,
I am looking for information on old Amiga BBS software packages. Running a telnettable BBS is a big project of redundancy in this age, but I always loved running an Amiga BBS.
I purchased a SAM awhile back with the intent of starting up a telnet BBS to relive some of the fun I had in the 90's on my old A4000. At one time I was a legal and registered owner of Excelsior, DLG, Cnet and Zeus BBS. Near the start of this year I had the BBS all configed running Zeus on a PPC/Bvision A1200, which ran fine. Recently I tried swapping out that BBS SW build over to the SAM and was met with a number of problems with several of the Zeus GUI cfg programs that I seemingly cannot work around. I need something that will run well on the SAM, but I am having trouble tracking down much info on some of the old BBS packages so I can grab them and give them a try. Excelsior! BBS is likely entirely dead in the water, I cannot find any info about it.
DLG was supposedly released years back for free, including source code. Anyone have any idea where I can obtain this? Anyone tried it on a SAM/OS 4.1? I am thinking it should run fairly well considering it is all modular and not much in the GUI department.
Last version of Cnet I ran was 3.x, so it's been awhile, but I have heard that people have had v5.x working well on OS 4.x with A1's. I have been unable to contact anyone about getting the new version (most recent info I have is that Storm's Edge owns it, and their store is down and I cannot get a response via email).
If anyone can give any info about DLG especially - and to a slighty lesser extent Cnet, would be appreciated. I sadly cannot find any of my original disks for any of the mentioned packages, so I'm forced to track them down over the net.
Thanks Much,
Duce
