Greetings! Hobo The Mystic Dog here!

This is my first message on Dove-Net this go-around... I set up a system some years ago that was short lived. (life gets wonky sometimes).

I ran a BBS back in the day... many incarnations from 1990 to 1999. Joined Fidonet in 93 I think... 1:138/228.

I am very slowly working towards getting a system up and running. Started off a couple months ago with OS/2 (ArcaOS) trying to recreate my system as it was back then... and here I am back with SBBS. Much appreciation to DM for all the work you've put into this over the years. It installed quickly and just worked... My system isn't even accessible to the world but setting up Dove-Net echoes was still a breeze.

I hear some folks get the linux version running with dos doors on a VPS? I'm going to look into that. I have a vps and that'd be sweet. Currently playing with the windows version on a home PC.

Anyway... enough rambling. I've popped into the synchronet IRC channel as Hobo for those who have chatted with me there.

Peace.

Yes, it's quite possible. I have a number of DOS doors runnung with DOSEMU on my VPS in Dallas. I would highly recommend Ubuntu and when it comes time, let me know and I'll zip up all the configs that work for me so you can just drop them in and be done. There's a few fiddles you'll need to make with sbbs.ini but otherwise, straight forward.

Is that something you could clean up and put on synchro.net
somewhere? I'm in the same boat, been wanting to move my Windows SBBS
install to an Ubuntu VPS, have a VPS sitting around currently doing
nothing...

That would be amazingly cool! I appreciate the kind and generous offer!

Thanks! I just got the renewal notice for my VPS, it's got a sort-of
working Synchronet on it and a mostly working Mystic. Would be nice
to be off of my home network with all of its issues in 2021.
