Is there an existing BBS system that provides a
BBS<==>Internet mail
gateway? So that a BBS user could, say, subscribe to a mailing list like
this one?
Caesarville Online, my BBS, supports this (at least it will, as soon as I
get internet email in a couple of weeks). I'm running a NovaServer BBS
on a Mac IIsi 17/700.
Does such a system exist already? Is the source
available? For what
platforms?
NovaServer, by Resnova, has been discontinued unfortunately (read all
about it at <http://home.earthlink.net/~tomowad/novaserver.html>). It's
currently unclear as to who owns it, but the source code is most
definately not available - yet.
NovaServer runs only on Macintosh. Custom client software is available
for Mac and Windows. Anybody can log on using Ripterm or terminal
emulation. HTML isn't supported in terminal emulation, but email and
newsgroups are.
