There is no need for screen. I can ssh into the box       and use BBBS from the command line. Or telnet in if I need to read netmails.       Or http(s) in as well :)              I tend to use binkd/hpt for point or bluewave mail for my own ftn echo stuff.              BBBS starts at boot up using the @reboot cron event. I don't put the bbbsd       onto standard ports simply to stop a lot of crap coming through trying to       hack. I just cron mail processing every 5 minutes                            Sean       --- GoldED+/OSX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: TCOB1 tcob1.duckdns.org (2:263/1.1)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 14/5 15/0 18/0 30/0 50/109 80/1 90/1 103/705 105/81       SEEN-BY: 106/201 120/340 123/0 25 131 180 200 755 129/305 330 331       SEEN-BY: 135/300 153/757 7715 154/10 218/700 221/1 6 222/2 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 206 317 424 426 452 550 664 700 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 250/1 263/1 266/512 275/1000 280/464 282/464 1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 299/6 300/4 301/0 1 101 113 317/3 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 341/66 342/200 396/45 460/58 463/68 466/50 467/888 633/280       SEEN-BY: 640/1321 712/848 920/1 3634/0 12 15 27 50 119 5001/100 5005/49       SEEN-BY: 5019/40 5020/715 846 1042 2047 4441 5054/8 5058/104 5064/56       SEEN-BY: 5083/444 5090/958       PATH: 263/1 222/2 3634/12 5020/1042 301/1 229/426           |
