It's a really nice start.

For Amiga and Commodore 64 C-Net software. both are in active
development.

 [http://www.cnetbbs.net/](http://www.cnetbbs.net/)

Future World 2 (C-Net BBS HQ) **telnet: fw2.cnetbbs.net:6800**

if you contact K-Guide on FW2, I'm sure he would tell you all you want
to know including the just released version for C64 and upcoming Amiga
release.

​

From seeing posts here and there, other Amiga BBS software is under
active development too but I don't have links to those at the moment.

Lacking what, specifically?

WWIV is listed as DOS it, but it also ran under OS/2.

I have always liked the resource \~ however, at the root level would
be nice to have a legend and a few flags.
(s) = source
(n) = nothing just the name
(t) = text about author (from author or 3rd party)
(b) = binary or (r) = release
etc.

For example, one day I was looking for some BASIC source from an old
BBS that was an RBBS-PC fork... found the name, click, empty (heart
broken).


Per things it is missing... I am developing Legacy/X BBS (Windows,
Mac, Linux, Pi) - its missing. Enigma BBS is missing, old stuff like
Prism and RiSC BBSes are missing (I authored and still have the source
and binaries for them)... I was inspired by YBBS for Tandy Model I.


Overall, I love the effort... would be nice to also document any
systems that are still actively developed or sold. Keep up the great
work!

Since [Archive.org](https://Archive.org) \-- and especially that of
the BBS documentary and textfiles -- is more of a history of BBS, I
think what you described would be better served on Wikipedia's [List
of BBS Software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_BBS_software)
although contributing is a major pain in the ass half the time =/

All DOS programs run under OS/2 as of 1.3 version

a guy on facebook has it and is waiting for a kryoflux to arrive to
make an image for me.. will also xerox the original docs... just gotta
wait on him.

lots of bbs programs for DOS, and im sure for others.. again, its the
best resource there is so i am definitely not knocking it - but there
is so much from back in the day that I would love to have in my
collection.....

I actually stumbled across this site via google, has been helpful.

If you've got any DOS BBS programs that aren't on the site (or for
other platforms besides DOS), please DM me links!  I'll make sure
they're part of the update I'm working on!

Other than Fone Conspiracy II I do dont.. But I know of, had and ran
any bbs programs that are not even listed there - or anyone else. Me
and some peeps on Discord are trying to get them pieced together.. We
have found a few things.

Secret Service has all of my stuff... Sundevil....
