(I wrote this once before, but I think I deleted it. If you see it twice, my
apologies.)
So if you're reading this, I've at least got DOVE-NET set up properly. I just
set up Synchronet lastnight for the first time. I haven't run a BBS since the
mid 90s, and when I did it was RemoteAccess, and I wasn't very good at being a
SysOp.
That said, how are you guys running your door games on Linux? I've got an
Ubuntu box lying around as a media server, so I tossed Synchronet on it out of
nostalgia mostly. I've got Dosemu installed via apt, and cannot get LORD 4.07
to run properly on it, nor under DOSBOX on my Windows 8 PC. Not to mention
getting the program to work launching out of a door menu.
Inaddition, does anyone have a suggestion on a good ANSI editor? I'm a
terrible artist but I'd like to at least make some splash screens. I'm torn
about whether or not I want to pony up for a Linode and a domain name and
actually run a BBS or if I want to keep it in my house as a hobby deal and just
give the IP out to a few friends to let them play with it.
