• Enigma BBS and binkd

    From eggy@21:4/143 to All on Wednesday, March 11, 2020 13:06:27
    Not really sure where to post this, but I have successfully configured Enigma 1/2 BBS and binkd as a point routing messages through my BOSS node
    running Mystic BBS here on fsxNet.
    Considering I learned how to setup a BBS using Mystic BBS, getting binkd going with Enigma 1/2 BBS was a bit rough at first (to the point where I got utterly distracted and put off doing so for about a year). But having done so, I learned a lot (that was the purpose of the project). I would like to share my notes that I have collected on getting it all working with the community as I think a few other newer sysops could benefit from some updated notes
    especially with binkd.

    My question is where would the best place be do so?
    I could put this on my own site, but it wouldn't have the design appeal at all as I'm really lazy about website front end work. Engiman 1/2 BBS does have documentation of its own, but you still have to figure out a lot on your own.

    Thanks to the kind folks here on fsxNet who helped me troubleshoot binkd and thanks to NuSkooler for helping me sort out a couple Enigma 1/2 issues.

    I think your own site is probably your best bet. Unless maybe we collectively start some sort of BBS related blog where we can post howtos and snippets...hmm., maybe not the worst idea :P But for now I'd probably thorw
    it on your own site and post links here.

    We also have an Enigma 1/2 echo called FSX_ENG.

    I put stuff like this in a github gist.

    I would like to suggest the fsxNet wiki and you would be more than welcome to have access to have at it :)
