Yesterday evening, I completed the task of uploading all the comp.sys.ti messages previously provided to my BBS along with the TI99 Listserv
messages from the late 90's. There were like 15,000+ comp.sys.ti
messages and 8,000+ TI99 listserv messages. I also have the Yahoogroup archives from the Geneve group as well as the TI-99/4A group on the BBS
as well, captured for historical purposes.
These messages are in "JAM" format, so if anyone is wanting to host a
BBS, it is very easy to zip the files up for each category, and be on
your way. Myself, I use Mystic BBS which has both 32 and 64 bit Window versions, as well as a Linux version that can run on a Raspberry PI.
Even if you are not wanting to run a BBS where users can call you, if
you setup a system, you can run what they call a point from my system
and I can forward the email traffic. This would give you active access
to comp.sys.ti, various Retronet groups supporting the TI-99/4A and
other orphans, the yahoogroup messages, etc.
If interested, let me know. My BBS can be reached via telnet at 9640news.ddns.net Port 9640. Or, you can go to http://9640news.ddns.net:8080/ with a web broswer and select the Telnet
link there to access the BBS via a web browser. I also have links to
both Heatwave and Fusion BBS's that can be accessed through the web
browser as well.
