What is FBB Gate?

 

Many Packet Radio sysops today are using the F6FBB Bulletin Board System. It’s an excellent piece of software but there’s one thing missing: it’s not possible to automatically send FBB export-files to other sysops via email. In some occasions it’s easier and/or faster to send FBB export-files via email; therefore I’ve created FBB Gate 2000.

 

FBB Gate will take an export-file, transform it to a ZIP-file and sends it via email to another sysop. It can also split up one FBB exportfile and send it via multiple email-messages (multipart feature).

FBB Gate will also convert all incoming export-files to one MAIL.IN-file and import it in FBB.

You can run FBB Gate manually or use the AutoDial feature that will dial-in to your Internet Provider send & receive the mail and disconnects the Internet connection afterwards.

 

Requirements:

 

* An ISP (Internet Service Provider)

* A modem

* About 5 MB of free hard disk space.

* Windows 95/98/2000/NT
