    B00M, there it is. :P I am getting my hands wet with simple MPL, and have made a mod or two with RCS, Black Panther and The Godfather... b most of my stuff has been sticking at that visual level.

    Well, there are multiple ways to help.

    I am willing to help in any ways that Paulie420 can, SF. With MRC, with other projects, with creating the small things that I do. I just reached out to you about a small project. (netmail)

    Keep going, the little stuff is also important, it teaches you a lot and slowly you'll get into more stuff. Most of my mods are never released, people uses them on my board without knowing it or it's SysOp side, to help with management tasks. I may release them one day but it's not
    urgent for me just yet.

    Appreciate your words, and I do think I've created a few things that are.... good for the BBS community. I ain't stopping, daddio.

    Cheers.

    Send anyone my way if they are serious about developing it and we'll
    make ithappen.

    So for fun I figured I'd try to write a version of MRC that would work for my BBS, which is DOS based QuickBBS and using the MSLANMAN TCPIP stack. I found an archive that had a python client, server and MPL example. So I've managed to cobble something together that can generally talk to the server at the protocol level. I figure I'll flush it out as a simple DOS client first and then move it over to OpenDoors as a BBS door. If I can find the netware TCP SDK I may compile a version for that stack as well. I suppose doing a pure pkt driver one as well is likely to follow. I guess the sky is the limit in this DOS eat DOS world. :D

    That's awesome! Running something in DOS would really increase the availability. I've answered your email so you should be good to start.

    Let me know if you need anything.

    I recommend to suppotr mtcp, is better tcp stack than mstcp

    Yeah it'll probably be both since I use MSTCP for hitting up SMB shares. I've played with the mtcp stack before and it won't be hard to port it. I'd do it for Netware TCP just for the heck it. :P

    MRC is where it's at right now, especially with all the meatups that have have one that was BBS-independent, and just ran as a door program? E.g. native Linux, Windows, Pi, etc. Any BBS system could use it, then.
    I have made a mystic IRC chat (which doubles as live pager/chat with sysop
    and multinode chat) It connects to an (password protected if chosen) channel
    on any irc server (with ssl if needed). I am planning to release it soonish,
    I can even host the irc channels if required.

    Any pointers that developers in this community can give me, would
    be Al> greatly appreciated :)
    Log into bbs.opicron.eu to check it out, give me a yell if you have some questions.

    L8er
    oP!

    While I'm an MRC guy, I like your work and will head over to checkout what wizardry yer cooking up with IRC.

    I liked your text-page sysop work and wanna see what you've done now.

    I wish there was a better/good page sysOp thing in Mystic... I don't even think the stock one really works - or at least not on 2o.

    Nope, wasn't setup to as there were addons that did it. Doors and the like. I'm not sure if g00r00 has fixed it, but there have been a few addons added
    in the last few years that do it. Hopefully this new IRC one can do it too
    and we'll use that and have an IRC for each board or something.

    I think MRC client/server is a closed-source project. You have to
    contact the group/programmer who's responsible and ask for his
    permission before making an attempt.

    It's open source. There are 2 python files and 1 MPL file. There's nothing hard coded, and Gryphon even encouraged other people to edit it.

    Stackfault edited the shit out of it and he hasn't been sued yet.
