  • Jnos 1.11f

    From Mike@n0##$@sbcglobal.not to alt.ham-radio.packet on Fri Aug 11 17:14:25 2006
    From Newsgroup: alt.ham-radio.packet

    Anyone here running Jnos 1.11f on Slackware? I ran it several years ago and due to circumstances I had to shut the system down. I'm wanting to get it
    back up but don't have the files anymore and all the links I find for it are dead. If you have it I'd like to see about getting a copy.
    Thanks, Mike/n0yii

    Hi Mike,

    Thats an old bit of software, wonder what you are trying to do?

    I am trying to get some BBS software up and running under Linux myself.

    It would be interesting to know if it will still work....

    There has been many changes to linux over the years, and to get the old fbb program to now run on the latest 2.6 kernel needs a lot of changes to the code.

    Such is life... I suppose if somebody is that desperate to run an old
    program, then they can always do it with an old Linux distro.

    I've only played with the FBB DOS and Windows versions. Never tried
    it under a Linux.

    The Linux version of FBB is interesting as it has the start of an NNTP
    server added, but not fully working, and not really all that like NNTP news servers in the real world.

    I have now re-written the NNTP server so it looks like the more usual
    Internet based news servers and added the capability to actually post bulletins by Nntp from Outlook Express.

    But items entered over the Internet using Outlook Express will not cross
    over to the packet radio side for security reasons, but bulls entered by packet will cross over to NNTP.

    The next move is for the NNTP server to syncronise with other NNTP servers
    in the same way as my HamServ program does.

    It's all good fun, it must be almost 30 years since I last wrote Unix
    software and playing with linux is like coming home to an old friend.

    ISTR there was at least one add-on for the Windows version of FBB
    which did that. But given the present dire status of PR in the UK,
    I'm not sure such effort makes sense, other than perhaps as a
    programming exercise.

    Perhaps, when - or more likely *if* - there is ever a viable HSMM
    network here, there may be the sorts of speed that would lead to a
    packet-ish renaissance, albeit vastly different from the old ax25 and
    TCP/IP networks.

    But I wouldn't hold my my breath waiting.

    I realize I'm a little late to the party here, but last night just before I read this post, I had just moved my JNOS 2.0e off Slackware and onto FC4.
    2.0e has lots of goodies over 1.1. The main thrust in this neck of the
    woods hs been the IP side, rather than the BBS, and over the past couple of days we finally got the forms posting to work. Well, sort of ... works OK from Internet Exploder but not from Firefox, so still some work to do.
