I was wondering if anyone here has had any luck compiling EleBBS
source code using VP21 under OS/2?
i have not, no... if i were to attempt to build elebbs today, it would be with freepascal... it really is the only game in town these days...
I would like to build the telnet server that comes with it so that it
does not crash at random,
that indicates a bug... just recompiling it won't fix that...
and maybe make a few other updated features and modifications to the source code.
to the telnet server? what other features does it need?
As it stands right now, I am running EleBBS/OS2 using SGmail/2 4.00 as
a front end mailer to pass off any inbound telnet sessions to the BBS itself, which so far seems to be working quite well, but using the included TELSRV.EXE makes respose time much much faster.
yeah, running a naked BBS is a little faster than having to run a mailer in front of a BBS but that's a GoodThing<tm> in some cases... it is expressly that
that allowed me to notice the MIRAI botnet infestation attempts and be the first to develop intrusion detection rules for them... if i had been running a naked BBS, i'd have been being frustrated by them like so many other operators are who cannot see what's actually going on...
Also looks find a decent OS/2 native text editor to use and an
external text editor for EleBBS if such a beast exists anymore.
wow... i have no idea... maybe one of the ones used by other native OS/2 BBSes?
i just don't have any clue what they would be as RA never was updated and ported to other OSes :(

Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it wrong...
... Oh, it's a plot, I see it now, it's all a plot.
