    leviathan writes "After being down for almost a year, the original BBS Links Database is back in action. Started back in 1999, almost a third of the original entries have been pruned out, and others are in dire need of updating. If you run a BBS related web site, please help us out by adding it to the database, or updating your existing entries."

    An anonymous submitter sends in this cautionary tale about Wine being maybe a little too good at emulating Windows. Update: 10/23 21:05 GMT by M : Better links: mirror 1, mirror 2.

  4. BBS Software for Unix?

    Ask · Linux · · posted by Cliff · from the ahhh-good-old-forum-hacks dept. · 16 comments
    Walter Bell asks: "Several years ago I used to run a BBS based on the Oblivion/2 software. Obv/2 was an excellent BBS manager, but as far as I can tell, it is still only available on the MS-DOS 3.3 platform. Does anyone know where to find a Linux port of Obv/2 (or any other Forum hack, for that matter) so I can start up my BBS again under Linux?" Ahh...good old Forum. I remember hacking my own copy of Forum and producing a clone called Apex, back in the day. Have ports of any of the old school BBS software platforms ever made it on to Unix? I do remember WWIV was C, so that may have been ported. Not so sure about Forum, however.
