More DLG issues

Just when I thought I had it beat, hitting some ugly crashes related to serial/port handlers running the 680x0 version of DLG on OS 4.1 Update 2/SAM 440.  Unlikely I will find a way around this, but thankfully the C source is available so I'll poke around and see if I can get it tweaked for PPC/OS 4.1 with GCC.

In the meantime I'll put the support BBS back up running Synchronet 3.15.  It shames me to run a BBS dedicated to Amiga BBS's on an Intel/Windows machine, but it's just a stopgap fix until I get either DLG or Zeus
running absolutely bulletproof on the SAM.

Will post the telnet address of the Synchronet system once I finish re-adding all the Aminet comm dirs and get the FTN's configured (again).

Putting together a new, modern BBS package

Been working on an all in one installer based BBS package/collection this weekend for running on AmigaOS 4.1 (will run on older versions of WB 100% as well).  Combination of DLG BB/OS for the BBS SW, MailManager for UUCP and FTN's, setup out of the box for telnet only.  Just finishing up some scripts and crontabs for retrieving mail via FTP and I'll throw it on the SAM 440 for full testing.  If all goes well it should be as close to a "modern" all in one BBS package for telnet that exists on the Amiga, I hope.  If you'd like to test this, give me a holler.  Maybe try the same with FAME BBS, depending on how the DLG version pans out.  Still having bad problems with doorgames on the SAM 440/PPC machine running OS 4.1, regardless of what BBS SW I use.

DLG BB/OS Professional open sourced, including source code

This is not tremendously new news, but very good news nonetheless.  DLG was one of the premier BBS packages on any platform back in the golden era of BBS'ing.
