Do you have your floppy disks with your 4.x WWIV BBS on it? We can get you upgraded to WWIV 5.0 and you can join the fold again!
BBSes used to only be accessible by dialing them up on your phone line with a MODEM. When the internet took off many BBSes added Telnet support to allow users to connect to the BBS over the internet. That is still in use today. These pages explain how to use the WWIV 5.0 builtin Telnet Server and Net2BBS from PCMicro.
Nets are federation of BBSes which connect to share messages and\or files. These pages will help you find WWIV 5.0 compatible utilities and installation instructions.
The email system in WWIV allows the sending of email to other users on the system as well as other users in WWIV based networks you participate in and even to Internet users if you have the appropriate add on software installed. Sending email is as easy as hitting the E key at the WFC or online. You can email a local user by name or number. For sending WWIV based network mail, see the network documentation for addressing.
TODO: How his internet mail handling with the new tools?
This page will include information on Telnet clients, dial-up clients and other User helpers. We want to make this easy for the new BBS User.
This page will include ideas for projects that developers might want to take on in their copious spare time.
