  • Smartphone BBS

    From Charles Pierson@1:153/757.26 to All on Wednesday, November 25, 2020 19:22:36
    Hello, All.

    Well, the process has begun. I'm partway there in setting up a functioning BBS on my smartphone.

    I've actually got it installed, now it's just figuring out the configurations for polling mail, and setting up a dynamic address or whatever you call it to allow incoming traffic.

    It runs in Termux where I have a Linux distro installed. The downside is I think they have to be Raspberry Pi distributions of the BBS software, which from what I could find would limit me to Mystic, Synchronet, or Enigma, none of which I am very familiar with.

    But Mystic is installed, and it's a beginning.

    Screenshot added if you are interested.
