REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION
----------------------
NAME: comp.bbs.tbbs
STATUS: Unmoderated
CHARTER:
This newsgroup will be used by The Bread Board System (TBBS)
DOS-based bulletin board software system operators for technical help
and support among system operators and 3rd party vendors. Included in
this discussion will be anything related to TBBS, such the eSoft distributed
option modules (QSO, TDBS, TIMS, SYSOM, Interchange, UltraChat) or 3rd
party software (PIMP, TDBS applications). The group will not assume any
specific experience level, so both the experienced and novice TBBS SysOp
will be welcome as well as those who may be looking into the software
for evaluation. It will be a TBBS SysOp supported group with no official
ties to eSoft Inc., the company that produces and distributes TBBS.
RATIONALE:
In the past several years, more and more computer bulletin boards
have been linking to the Internet both by direct connection and/or
e-mail/Usenet gateways. The Bread Board System (TBBS) software allows
for both issues of connectivity quite well through the usage of
terminal servers and third party packages. With so many TBBS systems
joining the Internet, TBBS SysOps feel the time is right for
a newsgroup for them to share techniques, ideas, and experiences.
CROSSPOSTING OF RFD & CFV:
In addition to news.groups, the RFD will be posted to comp.bbs.misc,
alt.bbs, and the Pimp (Personal Internet Mail Processor) mailing list
([email protected]).

unmoderated group comp.bbs.tbbs Final Vote Ack
Votetaker Note: I noted the extensive number of votes from
ccxbbs.uunet.ve. The individual votes are different enough that it
appears to be a last minute campaign rather than one person using
different account names. Just for completeness, I calculated the
results without those votes. The group would still pass 249:31.
Voted Yes
