hi gene,
could you help me putting an apple IIe bbs online using tcpser.
Which choice do I have for the machine I’d like to use as telnet server? Is Mac OS an option? Or is it usually DOS or Linux (I don’t consider Windows right now for I don’t have a spare PC to use for it, just very old notebooks and x86)

Greg is the person to the right, wearing glasses.

He also sold the rights to GBBS away quite some time ago, so it is entirely possible that Kevin owns the rights now. Greg got out of the business of BBS writing and moved onto various other projects, back in the middle of the 1980s.

FYI… Kevin Smallwood (kevin.smallwood@gmail.com) made a post on the 80sBBS mailing list stating that he is the owner of GBBS, GBBS Pro and LLUCE.
