After about a year's worth of delay (bought a house, needed to move
and get somewhat settled in), I've finally had a bit of a chance to
start working on getting a CoCo BBS up and running on the Internet. My
plan is to initially use the bitbanger under DECB. Unless someone
knows of a source for the other software mentioned at
http://software.bbsdocumentary.com, it looks like I'm limited to CoBBS
or ALLRAM (while it's tempting to put a cassette-based BBS system on
the internet, I think I'll pass... for now...). Does anyone have any
experience with CoBBS? In looking through the source code, it appears
that I need to run "COTERM.BAS" in order to create "COTERM.BIN," and
then "LOADER.BAS" to modify it for use with the bit-banger port. Does
this sound correct? If so, I expect to have a DECB BBS available via
telnet sometime this weekend :)
