having a dynamic ip.

recently i switched from godaddy to namecheap and i notice they
provide dynamic dns service for any domain for free. it can be registered with
any registrar.

Mike Ehlert from Pcmicro says:
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of NetFoss, I've released a new version today. The NetFoss package includes the Net2BBS Open Source Telnet Server for Windows.

I'm not sure when this changed, but i looked into my dyndns.org account
and now see that my account was GONE... and when signing up again i now only have a SMALL choice of parent domains http://dyn.com/dns/dyndns-free/domain-names/

i know a lot of bbs people are effected by this, a lot of bbs people used kicks-ass.net and other domains.

the remaining domains are now attainable via the PRO service.

i know everyone's got to make money but these are HUGE changes.

fTelnet/HtmlTerm/WBA Beta release
Posted by Rick on December 27th, 2010

Just uploaded Beta 2 of fTelnet/HtmlTerm/WBA.
http://ftelnet.ca/files/fTelnet_HtmlTerm_WBA_Beta2.7z

This release doesn't change anything for fTelnet/HtmlTerm, but it fixes a bug in WBA that prevented it from acting as a socket policy server in many cases. So if you were having problems getting fTelnet connecting to your BBS while using WBA, please download the updated version.

Programmer Jay Hodges has created some bbs doorgame
facebook applications using a custom version of ftelnet.

go check them out and recommend them to your friends!
