Get a NNTP IHAVE feed for your BBS!

[Joseph Cronin]

Ok here you go.
I went crazy looking for a feed for my BBS. In the end I set up a full news
server just to feed for my bbs.
I set up a bunch of local bbs news groups as well as the full usenet feed.

What I will do is offer the list of BBS newsgroups and a few of the usenet
news groups fed to your bbs for free.

Not catch, no ads and no cost. Just a great thing for your users.

Hit this web page and fill out the form and that is it.

http://bbs.retrobbsgames.net/getfeed.htm

You can email if you have any questions.

Just remove the nospam from my email address.

thanks for providing the service...if i ever get lost-gonzo.com back up
i'll certainly take advantage of it
but still having problems finding sysops in this area (southern minnesota
mankato) and don't have the $$$
nor the time to run it by myself..was pretty good sized setup before it went
under and the other sysops moved
anyway....i'm still lurking here at least...

yeah..probably..i forget the name was it paradox? i connected to a couple at
that time they were offered...
do you still have a wg system up....?

yeah...main problem here is no help..i have a bunch of stuff that would
really liven up someones www site in
this area of the woods (southern minnesota, mankato)..but alas...everyone
just wants dull www page front ends
on there web server platforms and leased lines out here..

i've said this before ...but have no time i prob need to start some kinda
retro computer club (apple //, c64..that era)
or/combo bbs related group to get this beast revived..but have no time...for
the junk i have around here computer wise...


by the way...anyone out there know anything about real ancient linux
stuff....i need linux ver 1.2 i think it was compiled
and ready to run....i want to experiment with my worldgroup for linux (sorry
guys can't hand it out gcom and the rest know i
have it and it has my reg number on it..so unless you can get perm from them
in writing i can't release it...i've had 2 developers
try and never heard a thing....so i don't think it is happening..even though
officially wg for linux is abandonware..or so it was stated
back in the day when they dumped it......go figure...


anyway anyone know about this kinda stuff...let me know...i don't program
and making kernals confuses me..but the
wg for linux stuff is soo.....old it won't work with any thing but a kernal
built with the 1.2 version...or i suppose if someone
had such on a bare hd that might get me to try it...with it installed..ie
idiot proof i know nothing of linux and my linux guru
friend had no luck with any package above 1.2 even old 3.0 stuff....if i
remeber right they changed the name of the copy or install
comand ..the executable program file just thought we were daft..when we did
the standard linux execute command...or so we think


hard to play with stuff and see if it works if you can't get an o/s for it

also...of course....i can't copy (nor read) the linux floppy disks that came
with it for sun, linux, bsd etc...this is for the 1.01
upgrade from wg 1.00 linux....to 1.01 .....now that i prob could pass
out...but alas unless someone knows of a copy pkg that can copy
this disk on a ms dos machine to another floppy i can't do that
either....(of course i suppose it could be possible they are
blank..but they seem to be the standard....ok....you have wg installed now
put in floppy for 1.01 patch type of thing when
you install the system...assuming i could install the system...arrgh....and
viola your version is 1.01 kinda thing...knowing wg
other errors then pop up..and off you continue on the contived install
process.....

anyway having all this worldgroup stuff ...is like having a 1939
porche....really neat ...but no garage to put it in....sigh

What do you need sysops in the Mankato area for?

I'm in the Minneapolis area; not sure if that would be much help for
anything.

If so, email me.

well...i have a large sitting on the shelf major bbs and worldgroup setup
with synchronet door machines for fossil multinode doors and tw2002 gold
server and 2 apple //gs 's serially connected to the works that used to all
be connected to the internet etc etc ad nauseum

now this was great fun with 4 sysops and a T1 etc but those days are gone
and i have a local teleco here and cabblevision ...so i have been informed
they know i exist so the old dyn ip via no-ip.com etc won't work..(they were
annoyed with me for my free T1 for bring in another isp in the area who has
since figured out a way to do his stuff remote w/o my free t1 (insert crying
here) but thou shall not muck the profit margin of local teleco and the
local cablevision ..so if i want to get a static ip it will cost me 125 a
month for a 1meg up and 256 down link under the old www.lost-gonzo.com

so in other words..i need 4 er foo...er i mean enlightened types who want to
be sysops (or even 1) to splilt the costs for the inet line....its a lot
diff kicking out 25-40 a month for the old bbs hobby its another for 125 a
month just me

and then there is time ....this was (is?) a pretty good sized setup...and of
course one would have to get more modern and run some other web game server
like legend of the green dragon or others i don't know of on the site..ftp
server ...an't enough of me around

so i posted a msg yelling for anyone in the mankato southern central
minnesota area that wanted to play sysop..(local univ and all worth a
shot)...

anyway you are the closest....one person in maine i think thought it was a
good idea another in canada...

anyway drop me a line here or in email on what you have for a setup..if
nothing else...i might have a few tricks or freeware mbbs stuff
someplace..if nothing else i can show you how to put a fv/metal 4.0xev apple
ii bbs from the 80's and a tpro 4.2f bbs up on the internet using dialout so
people can get to it from the internet...it was odd but people got a kick
out of 80-81 type bbs pkgs internet avail...on the huge 10mb sider...

(replies are creeping closer...i still have to start a retrocomputer club to
get some people to hack around with this stuff over pizza...)

anyway that is my situation...unless there is some cheap way to get a static
ip via satellite....(which i doubt)...
