    It's gotten very quiet in here.

    also, migrated to Mystic BBS so this is kind of a test too.

    Have even rebuilt my Pascal development environment to start building some custom addons and utils, Have just modified a OneLinerUtil to manage them from the CLI, need to find the most current pascal structures for Mystic BBS.

    So, hope every has had a good week and hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

    Got you here loud and clear. What did you migrate from?

    Cool, not that I know anything about Mystic.

    So, hope every has had a good week and hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

    My weekend will be yardwork in between rain showers, and a BBS update
    myself.

    Hi Dan

    also, migrated to Mystic BBS so this is kind of a test too.

    Got you here loud and clear. What did you migrate from?

    First off, thank you for the response.

    I migrated from Synchronet, It seemed a bit overkill for my needs as I use Postfix/Dovecot for mail and Apache2 for web services.

    Cool, not that I know anything about Mystic.

    Still getting use to Mystic, but it reminds me of the old RemoteAccess experience from back in the day.

    So, hope every has had a good week and hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

    My weekend will be yardwork in between rain showers, and a BBS update myself.

    I have some work around the house to do too, in between rebuilding a bunch of ANSI files and other bits of programming.

    Have a great day

    Think it is that time of the year. I did test Mystic but never liked it. Sticking with what I know BBBS

    Fair enough to stick with what you know.

    I migrated away from Windows/Dos in late 1998 with Redhat 5.1, and
    I could never get DOS BBS systems to behave or work with telnet for me under any emulator.

    I did try SBBS many years ago, though I installed Synchronet which ran
    as a private system for friends and family but use dwindled and it sat doing next to nothing, an HDD failure around 15 years ago initially killed it, I had put a stock install of Synchronet on my PC, but until recently hadn't done much with it due to lack of time.

    While putting quite a bit of time into getting Synchronet setup/reading the wiki to get the board back online. I stumbled across Mystic. Initially just downloaded it to have a look to see what else was out there, and finding it having a somewhat Remote Access feel I was drawn to it.

    I'm finding Mystic's programming language (essentially Pascal) and the implementation of Python quite nice to allow customization.

    I don't need HTTP/S or Mail Servers as I already run apache2 and Postfix/Dovecot, and from what I can tell Synchronet's mail server doesn't support DKIM signing, at least not that I could see.

    So I figure building Mystic modules to interact with those services shouldn't be too much of a problem.

    I have tried SBBS and it was the closest I ever got to leaving BBBS. Like you, I moved away from Windows a very long time ago, SuSE Linux one of the first editions. Then a Mac after a few years. Between Mac and Linux I don't see any chance of me going back to Windows. If I get a Laptop or PC with Windows, I wipe it. I have one Windows laptop simply for my weather forecasting software which needs windows.
