The VU BBS Beta-2 update for Linux has been released. This update has
replacements and bug fixes for all VU BBS files as well as enhancements
and new functionality. Some of the new features includes:
* Flash support for pop-up messages between online users
* Direct telnet support
* Customizable personal terminal definitions
* Multiple colorsets support
* Automatic log file trimming and event processing
* Generic usage tracking of login time usage per day
As always, VU BBS features a consistent and easy to use object oriented
color
windowing user interface accessible from most terminals, powerful point
and
view tools for user administration, visual file and email browsers, a
friendly generic menu shell environment, and very friendly new user
registration. A visual news reader and dos door support under dosemu will
be available separately. VU BBS provides the tools you need, whether used
separately or together, to integrate, manage, and deploy anything from a
personal BBS system to an online internet services platform.
Beta-2 represents the last free beta for VU BBS. We have already begun
development of a shareware and commercial version of VU BBS under Linux
and
other UNIX variants which will expand upon our base VU BBS platform and
offer
many new and exciting features including more VU based internet services.
For commercial customers, we will be the first BBS to offer direct PBX
integration through our new VU BBS Telephony Services! VU BBS Beta-2 will
remain available as a free introductory system, and a fully functional
shareware version of VU BBS will always remain available as an affordable
option for the home hobbyist.
VU BBS resources include mailing lists hosted through
majordomo@julie.pond.com. These include:
vubbs-sysop, vubbs-announce, and vubbs-dev.
Existing VU BBS beta sites can look for updatevu-b2.tar.gz AND
updatevu-fix2.tar.gz at sunsite.unc.edu very shortly under
/pub/Linux/systems/BBS/vubbs, at various VU BBS beta sites, or
from Marvin BBS, 1 703 492 9301 / 9101. Both files are needed.
Newly interested VU BBS users can expect a full vubbs-b2
and vuapi-b2 to be released shortly afterward, along with a first cut
of the VU news reader and MS-DOS doors support module.
