  • Migrating to Linux

    From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to All on Saturday, March 09, 2013 11:09:00
    I have been using SQUISH for many years now. First under DOS, then under
    OS/2. I am considering migrating my BBS over to debian linux. As best as I
    can tell, there is no version of SQUISH for linux.

    Are there any linux-compatable tossers out there that are "SQUISH-like,"
    and that are compatable with the *.msg message bases? I am looking for something that is as easy to configure as SQUISH. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    you are correct... to a point...

    bases? I am looking for something that is as easy to configure as

    no clue but the maximus sources were released some time back... i don't remember if the squish sources were in there as well... there was work being done to allow maximus to run natively on linux... if squish was included (it has been 10+ years) then it should have also been included in that process...

    the question is what BBS software are you running?

    you should also be able to run a DOS tosser in a virtual DOS box of some kind and let it manage the message areas that way... should...

    HPT by the husky project can do Squish, JAM, and .MSG. Used in conjunction with HTICK (file tosser), NLTools (nodelist tools), and whatever else you're interested in using from their list of software, I've never had any real issues, and the stability is top notch.

    You could always download the source code to the Squish tosser/scanner yourself
    and build it for you Linux BBS :) Otherwise, I believe CrashMail/II is what you are looking for.
