FutureVision BBS or METAL BBS

Hi there!

Does anybody know where I can find any of those two? Would like to see if I can get a Aplle II GS BBS up and running, at least for a short time ;-))

Greetz,

Whew, that's good because I don't know anything about METAL or FutureVision :-)

Hi George,

I had been looking for software in particular, as I have no further experience in driving a bbs. At the moment, I'm very busy so I could not really start my bbs plan, but I found the software I was looking for at

http://boycot.no-ip.com/apple2/

For further information take a look at the following parts of the website

This seemed also very helpful:

Re: FutureVision BBS or METAL BBS

Around the time the original question was asked, I started fiddling around with Sweet16 and got ahold of a copy of my own BBS, which I had posted on the web in the late '90s.

My GS has been repaired and is in working order since it's 25th anniversary (15 september 2011).

I'm installing METAL/ FutureVision again. Any help needed, please contact me, or reply here (do I get notified automatically?).

PS: I did a post on my BBS on my website: http://www.fotodoede.nl/DB/Home/Artikelen/2009/5/13_Deep_Dark_Castle_BBS.html
