- Sorry to butt in but, I was wondering if you know a Unix(linux)-
- based BBS system and if you know where I can find rfmail, as stated
- above. Coz right now, I've got a BBS(remote Access) and I've installed
- Linux on my 486, so like I figured, why even bother about DOS, when
- I can run Linux, PLUS a Unix(linux) based BBS system, that can ALSO
- process Fidonet-type packets and also INTERNET stuff.
-
- So, generally to all who reads this:-
-
- 1) Where can I find a Linux-based BBS package?
- 2) Where can I find a 'echomail' processor that can
- process Fidonet-type packages as well as Internet
- mail?
-
- And if I remembered quite correctly, the above two questions aren't
- mentioned in the FAQ... :)
