- Greetings and Felicitations.
-
- I am running (or was, I guess) the Human Impact Lab (HIL-Vancouver)
- with Citadel-86 software from my beloved, Hue, Jr. I've been
- working out methods to exchange messages with other people running
- Citadel-compatable boards using the Internet as an exchange medium,
- rather than the phone system. If you'd be interested in networking
- using such methods and you meet the following criteria, please send
- me some mail.
-
- Criteria:
- 1) You need access to your own personal Internet account.
- 2) You probably need the use of a mailer that you can use a mail filter
- program with.
- 3) You need to have a variant of Citadel that will enable you to take
- messages for an "othernet" BBS out of your own message base. The
- Citadel-86 utility that does this is called msgout. (Specifications
- for Citadel messages are available)
- 4) You need to have a telecommunications package such as Procomm or
- Telix and a script file (general form available from me. You need
- to customize for your system.) to connect to your Internet host
- and swap files around.
- 5) Your BBS software needs the capability of running batch files
- unattended - unless you want to swap messages by hand.
- 6) You need to be interested.
