  • WebPoint Veleno BBS

    From Thomas Bampi@2:333/808 to All on Thu Mar 12 20:12:02 2020
    Hello All!

    after a few hours of work I managed to create a point system via the web (your browser must load HTML5 pages) without the user configuring the various software to access the system!

    The Point Web system of Veleno BBS will allow you to read, write, reply, etc ... in the various echo areas and also in netmail without you having to go crazy to configure any type of software.
    A menu will help you to add, remove, rescan areas in a fully automatic mode SIMPLY USING YOUR INTERNET BROWSER THAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY USING TO NAVIGATE.

    If you want more information or if you want to try this innovative system, just
    leave me a netmail at 2:333/808.1 (Thomas Bampi) or an e-mail to krueger@velenobbs.net

    Bye

    Because I want to let users know that if they want to become a fidonet point they can easily become one without having to configure programs with which it is often not easy to make them work!

    That is very impolite.

    You want me to spam you with stuff I think is important and you don't give a shit about?

    When you write such a message in a technical Fidonet-echo or two that should do the trick.

    Other than that, keep on truckin'.

    An echo area is very different from an email I am not at the same level and in any case I do not seem to have put my message on all areas but only on those that in my opinion could be interesting from the point of view for an expansion of a service that can help fidonet to grow with the number of Points! This in my opinion is to innovate something that I believe since networks was born!

    Being a fidonet point traditionally is excactly what you describe here. If a user doesn't know a shit how fidonet works, (s)he should just remain as a user.

    The innovation implemented by Thomas is [1] not being tied to a single pc, [2] access to the fine control provided by GoldEd+

    It's a pretty good combination for a "user" to learn and give a shit. ;)

    It's a step up from a traditional user-point installation (without having
    to be bothered with the initial configurations and setting up a point),
    and it affords the user mobility to operate the point from any other pc
    that is handy.

    Thomas has essentially built a bbs interface that specializes in message access. And, his interface solution is much better than a webified telnet panel.

    Hello August,

    Thomas has essentially built a bbs interface that specializes in message access. And, his interface solution is much better than a webified telnet panel.

    Thomas has put together quite the system (looking from the outside). It's probably worthy of a fidonews and/or gazette article if someone could put that together.

    Hi, remember that even when modems were used to connect to bbs we were all users and slowly we became point of a bbs or even sysop / CoSysop but all of us initially were users and we had experience as such.
