Hello Eric,   
      
    AI>> I'm sure you'd like the mailer / ticer / tosser. In all my BBS travels   
    AI>> that stays with me.. :)   
      
    ER> Hehe. Well, I'm currently running Synchronet with Htick and BinkD, which   
    ER> those are pretty nice, honestly. I even have a setup I'm throwing together   
    ER> that's mail-only, no BBS, that'll be BinkD+HPT+HTick+GoldED possibly   
    ER> JAMNNTPD, to access and verify everything with.   
      
   The BBS interface to mbse is pretty simple, as Michiel Broek says somewhere in   
   the docs. He was just writing a plain and simple BBS that his BBS users were   
   used to (at the time I guess) and that is what he did.   
      
   The mailer / ticer / tosser is something else though.. ok, nuf said!   
      
    ER> The one thing I truely do like about Synchronet is the fact it's   
    ER> scripted with JavaScript, which is real-world usable stuff and very   
    ER> easy to work with. I was able, thankks to Synchronet, tolearn   
    ER> JavaScript for the first time ever and actually appreciate using it.   
      
   Agreed.   
      
    ER> So, I'm curious what MBSE is actually capable of, and how customizable   
    ER> it is, and scriptable, and if it's scripting language (if it has one),   
    ER> is worth using. :)   
      
   I don't know how JavaScript works or if it could be used with MBSE. Michiel   
   Broek did write a doorlib for MBSE though and a couple doors that work with   
   it. One is called safe cracker, a simple number guessing game. A sample for   
   programmers I think. And the note to next user door, provides much the same as   
   synchronets auto message.   
      
   There is no scripting language for the BBS, although AreaMgr and FileMgr auto   
   responses are scripted with the help of diesel I think.   
      
    ER> I would like to know a couple or a few publically accessible MBSE systems   
    ER> out there, so I could check them out, too..   
      
    ER> I want to see, first hand, what it's capable of as a user.   
      
   I know one MBSE BBS called The Bit Bucket in Calgary that I call once in a   
   while...   
      
   bbs.thebitbucket.ca.   
      
   I'm sure there are more but that's what I have off the top of my head.. :)   
      
    Ttyl :-),
