 sp> Hello fsxnet world.

hi there :)

 sp> I'm Jim/spaceman and Im coming to you live from St. Louis MO, USA via
 sp> midnight coffee bbs.  Its a work in progress (aren't they always?) with
 sp> a focus on the intersection of machine learning and security.

Sounds good, you've made it to New Zealand with this post (and other places afar)

 sp> I spent a large amount of time in my youth calling, hosting and working
 sp> on bbs's, bbs software and participating in a number of early echo
 sp> networks. I'm enjoying the push for more federated capabilites these
 sp> days - and am hopeful that this format (or a derivative) will gain more
 sp> of a foothold, as we (re)learn how important community is as a species. 
 sp> Particularly excited about the current work to get enigma connected to
 sp> mastodon.

Yes I've seen some chatter about this on Facebook but nothing posted in the Enigma 1/2 BBS echo about recent updates to the software. Hopefully Nu will keep us posted in the support echomail area also.

 sp> Super glad to see both mystic and enigma under active development and am
 sp> looking for ways to participate and support this and these communities at
 sp> large.

There's also Synchronet, Nugax is working on CyberBBS and Apam (currently on a break from BBSing (I think that's right?) has Talisman BBS that he's been working on over a number of years. There are also folks working on Renegade and other well known legacy names too.

 sp> Thanks in advance for your patience as I re-familiarize myself with the
 sp> tech and space.

Nice to see you active and welcome :)

Just a quick note that you're still flying the 1/999 test address so you will want to change this to your newly assigned node 21:1/162 and poll the 21:1/100 HUB using the new session password also assigned to you.

Flick me an email avon@bbs.nz if you get stuck and we can sort you out :)

Best, Paul
