Anyway, naturally I have a ton to learn but this isn't unfounded. I was co-sysop for a number of boards during the nineties and Iknow much has changed over that last twenty years.
I've recently turned off my MBSE, and am using Synchronet - my main motivati for doing that was the active development, and features. Email comes into my BBS (and goes out), and I get alerts when I'm online that messages are addressed to me.

You can't run DOS doors under Linux or Win32 with BBBS. BBBS is $90 for a two-node registration. I'd stick with MBSE or Synchronet if you're going to run a BBS under Linux.

when they'll be doing another auction run.
So, currently I'm thinking of building a PI rig with a 4tb drive and
run the system on that. Also searching through amazon for fair priced retired workstations. My firewall is built on one. My email server is
my mother-in-law's old home computer. My cloud server is possibly the
last desktop I'll ever build from scratch. But I think a PI rig may be cheaper than a retired desktop.

mbse works well, it is still in active development at least in bug fixes and minor updates as it does work well as been tested over many years.

I still have to create a feature grid and compare mbse with others. Narrowing down my theme, which will lead to the name. And then
speciality. I know I want to focus on aviation (i'm a pilot), amateur
radio, makers, watch repair.
Thanks for all the information, I"m steadily getting more confused
over which system to run it on to start.
I do have some redesigning to do, starting with launching a security
box and consolidating my log management, security, and database
functions to it. I have cable management stuff to deal with too. Ohhh

Back in the 90s I was a member of a few boards that had local message boardssimilar to today's forums.
I'm toying with this idea. Is there a feature where attachments can beuploaded
to a post so others can see it?

not in public mail, no... some systems may offer it in private user-to-user mail, though... sbbs does... it is easy enough to do, though... if the fileis
local to the BBS, post a message with a pointer or link to it... otherwise, upload the file to a hosting service and provide a link to it in themessage...

I'd prefer to keep the media within the bbs. I'm not talking about echomail, which I'm assuming means fidonet and all the other services.
I'm speaking on local bbs messaging.
So add a pointer. huh, ok. is that easy to do?
some systems do allow files to be attached to local messages but the one'si'm

I haven't tried that myself, but I have a howto around here somewhere
with running doors with BBBS.Linux.

Back in the 90's that was so, today you get 2 nodes for $60 or 7 for $80.
