Hi guys,

Moving my system over to ECS away from XP & pretty much most of the way
there. However, I still need to find a replacement for Radius (that I use as
my mailer). Apart from BinkD are there any other packages that would suit
the job ? Ultimately, something like Argus/Radius would be the best option,
but not sure if such a beast exists in the OS/2 world.

cheers,

Lance

There's always BinkleyTerm. I've been running it pretty much constantly since 1996 and haven't had any problems with it. If you need help, just holler. ;)

Right off the top of my head you might want to try Binkley/2 I think Front Door
comes in an OS/2 flavour, Intermail/2, and if you feel adventurous AdeptXBBS.

Adept has Internet stuff built in to it and is written specifically for OS/2.

File_Id.Diz for Adept:

AdeptXBBS Version 1.11y Full Install
------------------------------------
32-bit, Multi-Threaded GUI, NNTP,
SMTP, POP3, Telnet, Sockets, FTP,
Integrated Mailer, REXX, Utils,
multiple language, XMsg, *.Msg,
Squish and JAM msg bases,
localized date/time display and
a lot more!

Very customizable for almost any
BBSing needs.

GUI (PM) BBS for OS/2. FREEWare/2
24 Node Version
------------------------------------

All you need to do with this is ensure that SIO is configured properly and a way you go. If you decide to use this one we can help you in the ADEPT_SYSOP Echo.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.

You might want to look at Irex.

I'm planning on staying with EleBBS - that was a fairly simple copy
everything over & replace the Win32 exes with the OS/2 one - nice & easy! Already tested out fine, Ele's telnet & news server works fine - I'll pick
up BinkD & give it a shot - geez I hate changing platforms - & considering
that it's been about 5 years since I last used OS/2 - I'm also a little
rusty :-) Still it'll be nice to get away from the crash-prone XP !

cheers,

Lance

I switched back from Synchronet and W2K to BinkleyTerm/Squish/Maximus. ;)

If you need any help, I'm here too. ;)

radius is written in delphi... if there is a delphi compatible compiler for OS/2, then it may be possible to port it over...

Delphi doesn't do OS/2, unfortunately.... but maybe you could port it via Free Sybil or something?

right, that's why i stated "delphi compatible compiler" ;)

i don't know what is delphi compatible any more... it might be interesting to see a kylix version operating under XFree86 OB-)

Eh, or have it ported using Everblue.

Hiya Sean,

I switched back from Synchronet and W2K to BinkleyTerm/Squish/Maximus. ;)

Don't let the Synchro crowd hear that - they'llbe after your blood :-)

It's not the first time they've heard that and truthfully, I don't have a BBS running right now... I'm really mail-only, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve
in the works!
