Hi Guys,
I released a minor update to Net2BBS:
ftp://pcmicro.com/netfoss/net2bbs0964.zip
There is a new option in the .Ini file to allow the nodes to startup either
Normal, Minimized, or Hidden. See the readme for details.
I probally wont get around to NetFoss for another couple weeks, but if
anyone has any suggestions let me know.
Regards, Mike

*Tons of Web Server improvements
*Tons of Mail Server improvements
*A lots, lots more...
And here is the whats new:
Today (Dec 14th) is Vagabond's birthday, and I have an awesome idea for a present!
You've seen those funny "cat caption" pictures right? (No? Click here for examples)
The present for Vagabond? Make your own funny captions for him! Use any picture you want.. Pictures that are of V or related to V would be best.
Stock Vagabond pictures can be found at http://lord.bbs.us:8001/vagabond .. That same page has a link to pictures with captions..
If you create any, please email them to mike@lordlegacy.com.. Thanks!

VSMTP32 v2.0.061206 has been released. It has undergone a lot of internal changes to make it more efficient, more compliant and more robust. It allows advanced configuration of the variables used when receiving and sending mail, such as the timers. SpamAssassin support has been redone and it is extremely easy to add SpamAssassin processing to your setup (view online documentation). Client authentication methods have been rewritten and it now supports CRAM-MD5 and APOP (for POP3 before SMTP). SMTP extensions support has been added which can be expanded later. Logging has been improved.

Many releases today. VADV32 has been updated to version 3.2.061118 which brings a lot of new functionality to the program. A new dashboard mode lets you monitor the BBS without taking up a lot of deskspace. New statistics let you see how your BBS is doing.
VCleanDB v1.1.061118 is a maintenance release to bring it in sync with new VADV32 features.
VMail v1.1.061118 adds sorting to the address book for easier viewing.
VSMTP32 v1.5.061118 and VIRC32 v1.2.061118 both have been updated to sync with new VADV32 features.

VADV32 v3.1.061024 was released today along with VMAIL v1.1.061024. VADV32 has had a few new options added such as archive configuration, WAV files at logon or logoff, and the ability to turn off node file checking. Netfoss has been updated to v0.9.6. The installer will allow VADV32 to run under Windows Vista.
I really hate to move software as much as I have had to with bbsnews. But the Spammers come in and ruin it, and in order to clean up I have to move to unstable software or find something else that will work.
I have used this software in the past and it does do a good job. Lets hope it does it again for this.
Now off to try to include all the old stuff into this one.
"The VDD has been updated yet again (rev 38 now) - now compatible with Windows
Vista (x86 only), but you must copy sbbsexec.dll to your Windows/System32
directory!
Well I have not checked some of my old links, and I was going through them today and see that Virtual Advanced is still kicking out new releases. (Sorry about that Steve! You know you can post here too. :) ) Anyway I will post all of his news updates in the read more.
All taken from : http://www.vadvbbs.com/news/index.php10-18-2006 VSMTP32 v1.5.061018 was released today. This release contains many new features and fixes. See the history.txt for a complete listing. This is considered a major release and is recommended that earlier versions be upgraded.
"NOTE: This is a month late. Holy Shit indeed. Yes, after many, many, many, many, many, MANY years, I've finally released a new version of GameSrv. Before you get too excited, don't be. This is an early pre-release version just meant to get your feedback on what works and what doesn't (a lot of the features aren't implemented, so I already know some of the stuff isn't.) Along with the GameSrv release, I've made available 3 classic Seth Able / Michael Preslar / GamePortdoor games specifically packaged for GameSrv. They come preconfigured for use on 5 nodes, so all you have to do is run the .gsdoor archive through the GSDoor installer, and you'll be ready to go without really needing to know how to configure the door games. Basically this saves you the headache of RTFMing, and me the headache of you asking me questions that would have been answered by RTFMing!
"BBS Source page Updated!
In order to keep up with new tech that comes our way, we have abandoned our
CVS server and moved to a new Subversion Server.
This makes it much easier for both authors and users to get and view the
source. So all you authors looking for your next project you might stop by and
take a look at what is up and needing updating.
The SVN server space was donated by Z, and you can visit it at
http://source.bbsnews.org Hope to see
you there. "
