InterMail in an OS2 version...

Interesting...

Yes, someone started asking me questions about a break in IM under OS2 and found out some issues with IM under it so I am trying to finally yank out the core code that is causing me the pain to move to other platforms with the original code.

When you say "Interesting..." I can only laugh and remember the guy from the show Laugh in who always had that to say about everything. Sorry, showing my age. :(

I would not use the term expect but that is my goal. Still lots of work to be completed.

I was part of the Beta group helping Peter out with InterMail before he
bolted for ... whatever he bolted for. Anyway, good luck

I'll try to keep posted....

I know there are others developing new systems as well and they are quite good but I want to finish the platform out. The GUI platform is a full rewrite.

Thanks!

Unless you were going to put in BinkP servicexs in Intermail, OI would just consider porting Interecho over to these other platforms. Now if you were going to port it to OS/2 and could d othe same thing, I would be happy with that as well :)

but, some networks and system still use telnet over virtual modems (such as WINSnet) so some modem functionality would still be desireable.

Good to see some developement going into BBS software. InterMail & InterEcho were/are good software. I have my registration codes redy... I have an Arca/OS2 VM already running.... If you need a hand testing things out let me know.

In his defense, my understanding is that it was a crash and major file loss that took the wind out of his sails again.

It's Okay... I understand that BBSing is not a money making machine any
more...

My Hub box is running Arca OS2... FD2 with Fastecho2

I thought it was a good idea to get WINServer back up and running for
my "Main BBS". I have a Pi box that has mystic on it... to be honest I
like Mystic... I spend most of my time on the terminal side... so the
strength of WINServer has with the other spects seems somewhat moot at
this point.

BTW, I just installed a windows 10/32 bit machine so that I can run
synchronet as a game server and run all my old DOS games.

Registration codes no longer needed. I just about have all the key stuff removed as I was no longer going to requires such things.

Will keep you mind, may adopt MS way of doing thing, everyone is a beta tester. :O

Will do. Keep in mind there are other packages out there and I know I have heard of a couple of others also working on updating or creating new. We are all just going to have to have some fun I guess playing with new ways to do the old things. :)

Not really. His system has been out of the nodelist since februari this year. And before that it wasn't reachable for a while... So it looks like he lost interest again, after his return in 2017...
