Been there for some time. SyncronetBBS is not SuperBBS which is the one i was talking about. Still it is very impressive. I already have a system up and going to test. I think the mail server and html based ftp servers are very nice. Pitty it does not do a normal http server for a welcome page. (or doen't as far as i have seen) I have already edited the finger command to remove some information that i think people should login themselves to get (only fair) and customised the html ftp server pages. > > I just picked the name SBBS because it was a well known one.

How do you make a shell? I want to make my own set of menus that have a subset of the command provided, use differnt menus keys, etc. In the QuickBBS days you would use a menu editor to create menu files and then make an .ans and .asc file for that menu. I can see the .asc files are still there as well as a msg file. but i cant find the menu files or a way of editing them. I assume this is because i dont know how to make a shell and isntall it?

From what i can see i could run it as a door from syncronet bbs. and probably will at some stage. Thank you for your help. -- EnjoyDialup - You know you want to... mail=valid required when replying .
