  • Spitfire BBS

    From xbit@VERT/XBITBBS to All on Sun Apr 27 04:07:50 2025
    Spitfire BBS software suffered a Y2K (Y2K25?) type bug on 1-1-2025. And with Mike's passing and the source code not shared, the last 3 SF board were down for good. Well... I don't like being told what to do.. so, my SF BBS is back up <g>.

    telnet://x-bit.org:23230

    Nothing that a Linux OS > Win VM > DOS BBS > 2014 date trick can't fix.

    Long live Spitfire BBS!

    ...If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    Good deal! My GT Power BBS has been suffering some odd things over the
    years. I sometimes wonder if running it in a back-dated VM wouldn't help. Guess if it completely breaks, I will find out. ;)
