I got theauthor to fix a couple of the problems but it kept taking longer andlonger to get fixes and he kept coming up with excuses for not workingon it. There are fixes that were promised within a couple days that,more than two months later, still haven't been seen. I've given up onhim and would advise others to stear clear of this one.------------------------------From: unixbbs@dsnet.comDate: Mon, 4 Sep 1995 21:45:12 -0800 (PST)Subject: BBLinuxFtp-Site: sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/BBS/bbs/BBLinux-0.1.tar.gzBBLinux         BBLinux                         source included    contact:    Andreas Schiffler                1230 11th St. E                Saskatoon, Sask                S7H 0G3                Canada                andreas@karlsberg.usask.ca                andreas@milo.usask.caBBLinux isn't really a BBS. It is a C program and a few scripts thatallow you to add time limit enforcement to a shell or menu login.Combined with the BBS-Util package and a menu script, or even Lynx,you could probably come up with a pretty decent BBS in little time.Excerpts from the README:The following collection of files and text will help converting a Linuxsystem into a BBS in (almost) no time. Most of it a quick hack but shouldserve as a good starting point.

I have renamed the package to        'Dial-Up Utils' (because the package is not specifically oriented        towards BBS administration, but towards the administration of dial-ups        in general).  Dial-Up Utils 1.1 contains several features not found in        BBS-Util 1.0 such as "Smart-Boot[tm]" (booting users only when all        lines are busy, and optionally booting at most *one* user per minute        in order to maximize line utilization).  You can find the package at:        sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/BBS/Dial-Up_Utils_1.1.tar.gzAdam wrote this package to enhance and add to the functions provided bythe BBLinux package. It adds the following functions:timeleft:       Tells users how much time they have leftdaysleft:       Tells users how many days they have left before their account                expiresuser_add:       Creates passwd file entry AND record in the BBS user database.user_addrec:    Create record in user database.user_del:       Removes passwd file entry AND record in the BBS user database.user_delrec:    delete record in user database.user_data:      Shows BBS user record in a readable format.user_kick:      Give a user the boot (i.e. kill all of their processes).user_login:     determine if user is allowed to login now.user_purge:     Remove accounts which have not been used in a certain # of days
