[7.7.04] Fido Net on the Mac

FidoNet is a network of BBS's linked worldwide by using common
technology to share messages and E-mail in a series.  Almost
every kind of computer has a way of accessing FidoNet.  All Mac
BBS's have the ability to tap into the amateur BBS network.
There are thousands of BBS's linked to the various Fido based
networks and many Mac BBS's are amoung them.

FidoNet is available through the Mac by using several packages
as externals that then import the FidoNet messages in bulk and
sort them out to the Macintosh BBS in a separate step.

There are several packages available for Mac BBS software.
Tabby is the grandfather of all packages, but appears to have
been stopped being supported.  MacKennel, and Aeolus are the
other two packages that appear to still be around.  Please
E-mail the editor with any changes to this, as I feel there
must be other Fido packages out there.

MacKennel<tm> is a series of FidoNet compatible mailers written
by Craig Vaughan, author of the MacWoof<tm> point package for
the Macintosh. MacKennel offers two levels of performance for
the Macintosh BBS operator:

Level 1 - Basic Point Mailer:
* Manual or Automatic session operation
* Supports seamless integration with NLP, Telefinder, Hermes
and Tabby<tm> compatible BBS systems.
* Unlimited echo support
* ARC and ZIP mail bundle processing with automatic compression
type detection
* Supports both 4D and "pointnet" addressing methods
* WaZoo (ZedZap) and FTS-0001 sessions

Level 2 - FidoNet Node Mailer:
All the features of Level 1 plus:
* Multiple modes of operation:
* "Front end" mailer for any BBS that accepts ADSP nodes
* Smart Doggie<tm> backend mailer
* Tabby style backend mailer
* Stand alone mailer - no BBS required (requires MacWoof to
read/create messages)
* Operations can be fully scheduled on a daily or weekly basis.
Scheduled operations
include:
* Automatic polling of multiple nodes
* Scheduled launching of other applications for maintenance or
utility functions
* System Restart or Shutdown
* Can be configured for "Continuous/Crash" mail operation
* Allows the Sysop to "lock out" callers during specified time
periods such as Zone mail hour
* Fully "zone" and aware with both direct and "host" routing of
netmail
* Fully supports points and/or other nodes for echomail
distribution
* No limit on the number of nodes receiving an echo
* Nodelist support with automatic "nodediff" updating

Pricing:
   Level 1     $75.00
   Level 2    $150.00

Tabby is the name of a program that is no longer made or
supported for importing Fido files to your Mac. Tabby may be
still found at various sites around the BBS community
(including BBS in a Box CDUs)

questions, communications programs questions and Internet access
as they all relate to the Macintosh.

The comp.sys.mac.comm FAQ is posted periodically (about once a
month) to the Usenet groups comp.sys.mac.comm, news.answers,
and comp.answers. Latest versions of the FAQ can be retrieved
via anonymous FTP from the following sites:

[7.9.2] Good BBS Books and Magazines

Most of the books on BBS'ing are for IBM systems.  There are
several good books on the Internet including "The Internet
Starter Kit" by Adam Engst, and "The Mac Internet Tour Guide"
by Michael Fraase.

All three of the Major BBS magazines have a Macintosh column
dedicated to BBS'ing on the Macintosh.  They should be generally
distributed, but the phone numbers for subscriptions are below:

Boardwatch - [phone]
BBS Magazine  [phone]
Connect Magazine (800) Get-connect

In summary, BBS on the Macintosh can be rewarding while being
effortless by using the famed Macintosh friendly operating system.

               CHAPTER 8 - UNIX AT YOUR SERVICE
*********************************************************************

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
8.1 - Unix Q&A
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

[8.1.01] - What's a Unix?

UNIX is an operating system.  The original version, called
Unics, was written by Ken Thompson at AT&T's Bell Laboratories
in 1969. In 1973, Thompson and Dennis Ritchie (co-creator of
the C programming language) rewrote it in C. Since C compilers
are available for many systems, UNIX has been "ported" or
rewritten to run on various systems under various names.  If
you've ever used Solaris or SunOS on a Sun workstation, HP/UX
on a Hewlett-Packard, AIX on an IBM, AUX on a Mac, IRIX on a
Silicon Graphics workstation, or Xenix or Linux on a PC, you've
used a version of UNIX.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
[8.1.02] - The Pro's & Cons of a Unix BBS

The greatest strength of UNIX is that it was written from the
ground up, as a multi-user system for networked computers.
Therefore, almost any BBS running on UNIX automatically has
multi-user capabilities, and providing network and
communication services is also simple.  UNIX is not a system
for the novice, though.  It's a fairly technical system, and
for a BBS written on one version of UNIX to run on another
version, the source code usually must be reconfigured and
recompiled. The cheapest UNIX systems usually cost $3000
or more.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
[8.1.03] -  What factors should I consider when starting BBS on
UNIX?

First and foremost, you should consider what sort of service
you want to provide.  If you want fast-moving message areas,
perhaps a small chat area, and possibly a link to some sort of
informational system, one of the Citadels would be your best
choice.  If you want to focus on the informational system, with
the BBS as part of it, PANDA would be best.  For e-mail and
net-news, XBBS is the way to go, and if you have a Linux PC,
you can use UniBoard or DOC.

Secondly, you need to consider how large a system your UNIX
computer can support.  A fast PC can probably handle four or
five users at once. A ten-thousand dollar workstation can
probably handle twenty or thirty. If you want to handle a
thousand users at once, you'd better have deep pockets.

Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, you need to consider how
users will connect to your system.  You can connect modems to
your UNIX computer and let them dial in, or you can establish a
connection to the Internet and let them connect over the
network, or both.  The Internet lets multiple users from around
the world connect over the same link, so its appeal is obvious,
but if you just want to serve your local community, you might
do just as well without it.  You can even go halfway, and have
your computer call the network just to send and receive
electronic mail every night.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
[8.1.04] - Where can I get the UNIX BBS FAQ?

While surfing around the net looking for info on UNIX BBS
software I found the UNIX BBS FAQ. This section is a pointer to
the UNIX BBS FAQ. I will continue to add to the UNIX sections
of the BBS FAQ, however, the UNIX FAQ may have additional info
that might be helpful as well.

8.2 - UNIX SHAREWARE/FREEWARE BBS SOFTWARE
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

[8.2.01] - Citadel/UX

Citadel/UX runs on UNIX, but looks and feels just like a
Citadel on a PC, Amiga, or Atari ST.  At least a half-dozen
BBSes on Internet run versions of this software.  It focuses
on fast-moving message bases.

----------------------------------------------------------------
[8.2.02] - DOC

DOC - short for "Dave's Own Citadel" - is descended from
Citadel/UX. It adds a few new functions, and supports more
users.  Internet's biggest DOC BBS can handle nearly 1,000
users at once.

----------------------------------------------------------------
[8.2.03] - PANDA
