    Can someone point me to wiki/blog/whatever to help?

    I'm not sure if there is a wiki or anything for BinkleyTerm.

    I have the doc archive if that would help. I don't know if there is linux info in there or not.

    Ttyl :-),

    MBSE looks a lot like RemoteAccess. I think that was the inspiration for the look of mbsetup and the menu system, but that is where the similarity stops.

    A few months ago, when I was looking to setup another BBS, MBSE was a thought. I ran RA/2 back in the day, at 1st glance during the setup I was having flashbacks!

    the 'extras' ARE nice, but very true... BBS side is 'simple' and I didn't see a sysop 'fun' factor

    MBSE has a very powerful mailer/ticer/tosser, although linked nodes will get upper cased filenames.

    MBSE would be a good BBS for a BOSSNODE/HUB to run

    The BBS is thin feature wise but works well.

    yeah, VERY thin! I was gonna play around with it after I fixed my other BBSes, but then it got kinda boring and it would be too much work to do to it what I wanted. Most MBSE BBSes look the same, now I know why
