BBS Utility
OK, I've officially thrown myself into the fray of BBS Door developers. I have been writing small BBS utilities for quite a long time. Right now, I have 2 pieces of software in the works: ZappLinerz 2 and ZappNewz ... I am looking for a few brave soldiers ... er... sysops to test these doors. More info can be found on the ZappWare Development website @ mentalmeltdown.bbs.us/zwd ... I am working on trying to integrate these utilities with today's technology.
The guys over at aspect have been busy this month! http://www.vadvbbs.com/news/index.php

Rob Swindell (digital man) Posted this on the Synchronet home page: "I've released a new program for Synchronet External Plain Old Telephone System (POTS) Support.
The program is named SEXPOTS, with homage to the very successful SEXYZ project. This program adds dial-up modem support to any Windows TCP/Socket/Telnet-based BBS (e.g. Synchronet-Win32). Deuce has a *nix version in the works and has also recently added dial-up modem support to SyncTERM to complete the old-school BBS experience using actual modems! Vertrauen can now be dialed directly at 951-549-9994"

VADVBBS.com has three releases today: VTIC v1.0, VPost 1.4 and VUpload v1.3. VTIC is a new port of the old DOS utility. I have fixed several issues that caused it to not work properly. VPost and VUpload have been rewritten as 32-bit console applications to allow easier updating in the future. Be sure to read the docs for all three programs since the command line parameters have changed.
Thanks to Tim and Roger for the input and testing of these programs.
Happy New Year!
To start this year off, I have released a new VADV-PHP version. This adds a few new features and fixes some issues that were found while working on version 2.0.
Hi Guys,
I released a minor update to Net2BBS:

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
