Hi all-
I'm looking for Beta testers for ATA (www.atabbs.com).
ATA makes it super easy to run a 16-bit DOS BBS; all you have to do is install it on your shared hosting and give a caller a URL. That's it. No Telnet required, no always-on servers running. Takes 5-20 seconds to connect, then its just as fast as Telnet. Multi-node and Doors supported.
I am providing 1-click installs for various BBS systems. Right now, as of today, it supports: Renegade 1.40 RBBS-PC 17.4 PC Board 15.3 RemoteAccess 2.62 TriBBS T.A.G. 2.7d2 Maximus 3.01 Fido 12u Citadel (Citadel 86e 2.19 and Asgard-86 1.49) QuickBBS 2.76
I'm adding these before the Beta: GAP 6.6 Telegard 3.09g2 VBBS 6.14a Virtual Advanced 2.10
Note: For VBBS and VADV, these are the shareware versions. If you have a reg code you can enter it on a new board, or import your existing registered board. I can't distribute 7.0 because it was for registered users only AND the license says you can't distribute the compiled source.
Anyway, if anyone is interested in running the beta of ATA, please let me know. All of the listed BBS software will be supported, multi-node will be thoroughly tested, "page the sysop" will be enabled if I can figure out how to do it, and I'll write documentation and a guide for how to get a Door up and running for each (using LORD in my testing).
The stuff still to be done before the initial public release that won't be included: import wizard for an existing board (although you could do it manually today), file editor in the sysop console and light file manager (so you don't have to FTP for simple stuff) and EchoMail/FidoNet.
Thanks! submitted by /u/justme9974 [link] [comments]
