Hi all - I'm developing ATA BBS (www.atabbs.com ) which is a software that allows you to 1-clck install classic 16-bit BBS software on your cheap shared web hosting, give out a URL, and the caller can access it from their browser. No Telnet required, no always-on server on the SysOp side needed, just basic shared hosting. Supports multinode.
I have the following BBS systems set up already for 1-click install: Renegade (permission from the author to include), RBBS-PC, Fido BBS, Citadel variants (Citadel 86e and Asgard), Maximus, and T.A.G.
For the stuff that is currently being developed, I am reaching out to the authors to see if it is OK to package their 16-bit DOS versions with ATA so a SysOp can get it up and running with one click. These are all unmodified, just distributed in a "fresh install" state to the SysOp.
I can't seem to find any contact info for James Coyle to see if it would be OK to include Mystic in the distribution. I know it's in active development, and it seems that the last DOS version is 1.07.
If anyone knows how to contact him, please DM me (if you have his email or Reddit name or something please don't post it in public to protect his privacy).
