    From Phil Kimble@1:128/2 to All on Sun Apr 29 04:04:04 2018
    Hi Everyone,

    I am looking for a qwk/Bluewave door to that would allow me to download OLM/qwk
    packets from my Linux server. Without setting up a bbs, that is.

    For clarification: I want to be able to login into my Linux mail hub, grab a qwk/Bluewave packet, download it to my desktop, read the mail, upload the packet, then send it into the FidoNet bliss. All without setting up a bbs, which actually may be the easiest approach. But looking for recommendations.

    Thanks Much,
    Phil

    With Synchronet and Mystic being relatively easy to setup, you might as well setup a BBS. If you don't want to allow user access, you can do that too. I'm curious, what are you currently using on your hub?

    You know, I thought I had this scratch itched.

    That pretty much describes my current system = binkd/hpt/htick/msged.
    Light weight & easy to manage. I tried to get golded setup but it
    wouldnt run. Limnited time so I stayed close to what I know.

    well, there ya go... just set up another using a point address and
    feed from your main system... you can even have the main system
    deliver the mail when it is ready since the main mailer can know the private info of the point... no manual operation other than reading
    the mail plus you won't be restricted by the limitations in QWK/BW as compared to natural FTN capabilities ;)

    This would be too easy, yes? Nope. I logged into Andrew Leary's & Tiny's systems this weekend & discovered it was too late. I was infested with the bbs bug all over again.

    I Sunday playng with MagickaBBS on Ubuntu but going to jumping over to EleBBS again... Its probably close to 10+ years since I went from EleBBS to MBSE on FreeBSD.

    Cant drink here, might as well stroke a bbs...
