- I'm currently writing a unix bbs, to be run on Ultrix 4.2. (it's what
- my school's computer uses, so I don't have much of a choice, as I have
- no access to any other flavour of unix).
- I'm just looking for ideas on what kind of features or interfaces
- to use in the bbs. I'm pretty sure of -how- i want it to run, but
- I'd like to know what people like to see featurewise.
- I'm partial, myself, to the type of interface the ISCABBS uses.
- (Iowa Student Computer Association BBS, at bbs.isca.uiowa.edu, no login 'cause
- the bbs program itself takes over port 13, not the login program...)
- But with perhaps a few more features...
-
- Oh, yeah. It's gonna be written in C++, if anyone cares.
