5. CONNECTING
5.1 Fidonet
5.1.1 A fidonet system
(Pablo Saratxaga)
> for fidonet look for ifmail
http://www.average.org/ifmail/ (official Eugene Crosser's version)
http://www.z2.fidonet.org/ifmail-tx/ (the "tx" version).
tx version offers better gating support (charset), various patches
this version is better for 8 bit fidonet and mandatory for fido.ger.*
(gatebau method), as well as telnet/vmodem support.
ifmail is the name of the whole
package (and the email --> netmail conversion program), the mailer is
ifcico.
ifmail contains:
ifmail email-->netmail
ifnews news-->echomail (in fact it is a hard link to ifmail)
ifpack compresses pkt
ifunpack uncompress incoming paquets and feeds pkt to iftoss
iftoss convert pkt to email and/or news nad feeds to snedmail/rnews
ifindex compiles the nodelist for ifcico to use
ifcico the mailer
nlpatch
applies a nodediff to the nodelist ifstat display stats about
outbound
there is also a lot of configuration exemples as well as
contribution tools (an areafix, a *.TIC manager, tools to manage
databases ifmail
uses, a region/net extractor from nodelist) making it a full package to
run a fido node or point under linux
(you need also sendmail and INN (or cnews or smail) and a fido
able getty if you are a node)
5.1.2 a good fidonet editor
Thomas Vogt, 2:240/5442.1 is the new Feddy-Maintainer
You also reach him via I-Net at tom@mystery.antar.com.
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/fido/FEddy-1.0.tar.gz
or
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Fido/FEddy-1.0.tar.gz
5.2 Internet
5.2.1 How do I get ppp to connect to my ISP automatically?
(John Burton)
Obtain and install diald. The home of diald is
http://www.dna.lth.se/~erics/diald.html
5.3 BBSes
5.3.1 DayDream/Linux
ported from AmigaOS. :) Totally free with sources
Telnet/FTP/FidoNet-support.
http://www.daydream.ml.org/
5.3.2 BBBS
telnet
http://www.bbbs.net
6. EMULATORS
6.1 Limitations & bugs
An emulator will never
completely replace the real thing. As long as you bear that in mind, you'll
be able to live with them.
6.2 DOSEMU
Actually very good. Allows you to tap into the large amount of Dos
software. Many people use it to run a legacy BBS.
6.3 WINE - WABI
Wine is a Free Windows 3.11 emulation. It is far from being complete,
but a) it works, b) it's free and c) it's constantly being improved.
WABI is a commercial win311 emulation originally developped by SUN
for Unix. It has been ported to Linux by Caldera (Wabi 2.2). There
were rumors in june 97 that Wabi 3.0 would also run Win95 binaries,
but W>abi is today all but dead, since Sun has announced it had
stopped development.
Wabi copies are today pretty cheap (less than $100).
6.4 AMIGA
(Daniel Parreira)
The amiga emulator is called UAE.
ftp.fok.hu/pub/UAE
You need the files "kick31.zip" and "wb311.zip" to get things started.
(Marco van den Bovenkamp)
> Is it possible to read/write Amiga-formatted diskettes with linux?
> (Redhat 5.0) How?
With some caveats, yes. Take a look at
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/affs.txt.
(Sune Stjerneby)
kick and workbench:
those files are copyrighted and has been the subject of lawsuits before ;).
special note: -no- AT/ATX IBM PC floppy controllers are capable of
read/writing to AmigaOS floppies, due to mechanics/controller
differences, it
requires special/hack-ish hardware. It is, however, possible to use hd
drives formatted in Amiga FastFileSystem with
Linux.
7. PROGRAMMING
7.1 Overview of development possibilities
7.1.1 Threads
> Can Linux run threads?
(if so are they kernel threads or user threads?)
Yes. It isn't yet in the distribution kernel (because it isn't 100%
POSIX yet, only 99% :) ); look at
http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/proven/pthreads.html
http://www.aa.net/~mtp/PCthreads.ht
l ftp://ftp.cs.fsu.edu/pub/PART/PTHREADS
7.1.2 Compatibility
> Can I program to the POSIX standard and have the program run
> on Linux?
Yes. At least as well that the majority of the other OS claiming
POSIX compliance.
(Frederik Retsema)
http://linas.org/linux/threads-faq.html. Within this page are several
links to code and documentation of implementations of pthreads.
see also www.linux.org/help/faq.html.
