    Hello All,

    I don't know how many of you know this but I am a member of the MBSE BBS Development Team (the BBS software that I run). I have been thinking about adding the ability to upload/download offline mail via a web page for the BBS.

    Would this be something of interest to users like you (if you use "traditional" offline mail)?

    Also, MBSE has a built-in NNTP server that can gate echomail<->NNTP. Would this be of interest? I can work on figuring out how to set it up properly.

    The short answer is that both of those things would be of interest to
    some, and that they might also allow other people to access fidonet who
    would not otherwise do so. What you are asking about is exactly what
    DOC's Place does (plus his system allows for online reading and replying
    to messages).

    OTOH -- there are some nay sayers who would complain against such
    because "allowing internet access is not fidonet". I don't agree with
    them. Nor do I agree with the same people's statements that there are
    no more users in fidonet, only sysops.

    Exactly what I do is to have a cron event using MS Task Scheduler launch
    a cmd file to scan and pack new QWK packets and then email them to the
    user. On the way back, they send an email to my BBS user with an
    attached REP file and my Eudora email program which then launches a cmd
    file to send that to my BBS data.

    Fidonet has nothing to do with Internet access; that's on the BBS side IMNSHO.
    I long ago decided Internet access for my BBS was the way to go though I am still a POTS fan and am wanting to put in a POTS line when feasible. There's still something for everyone if they look hard enough.

    I can use the same setup as T1ny's but for some reason, Linux is being picky about certain things within that setup and I haven't figured out why. I do like NNTP access because you can use something like the Pan newsreader. I was long against doing something like that but as times have changed, so have I, and that would be very convienent (sp) for me when on the road.

    Title: Lady Pitts' Quiche
    Categories: Pies
    Yield: 1 Quiche

    1 x Unbaked pie shell
    1/2 c Grated cheese
    3 Eggs
    2 c Milk (half & half best)
    pn Salt
    ds White pepper
    Cooked:
    1/2 c Bacon or ham or asparagus or
    Spinach or crab, etc.

    Brush the interior of the crust with egg white to keep it from
    getting too soggy. Beat 3 eggs with 2 cups milk or cream (half and
    half is best here, but regular milk will work, too). Add a generous
    pinch of salt, and a good-sized shake of white pepper to this
    mixture. Place about 1/2 cup of grated cheese in the bottom of the
    pie crust (Swiss is traditional, but Cheddar is also very good, or
    you can use a mixture of whatever cheeses happen to be sitting in the
    refrigerator threatening to mold on you). Add, if you wish, up to
    half cup of whatever other cooked ingredient suits your fancy (cooked
    bacon for Quiche Lorraine, crab for crab quiche, asparagus and ham
    for asparagus and ham quiche, spinach for spinach quiche..you get the
    idea). Place the pie crust on a cookie sheet (this is important, or
    you may spend the next week chipping portions of your creation off
    of the bottom of your oven ;-). Now place the filled quiche on the
    cookie sheet. Open the oven, and pull out the oven rack so you can
    place the cookie sheet containing the crust on it. Now, and only
    now, pour the milk/egg mixture over the pie, stopping just before it
    comes to the top of the crust (it will puff a bit when it bakes.)
    Carefully slide the rack back into the oven, close the door, and bake
    for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted just off-centre in the
    custard comes out clean. Quiche is traditionally served lukewarm, so
    let it cool at room temperature for 20 minutes or so before serving.

    a golden brown. Add garlic/salt mixture and paprika and mix well.

    size of a golf ball and roll in the flour to coat. Drop the dumplings
    into slow-boiling water, cook uncovered for 10 minutes. Remove the
    dumplings with a slotted spoon and drain. Meanwhile, melt the butter
    in a medium skillet, add bread crumbs and stir while heating until
    browned. roll the drained dumplings in bread crumbs. Serve alongside
    goulash.

    NOTE: If first dumpling falls apart in the boiling water, add flour
    to the dumpling mixture until dumplings hold togedther in the water.

    Pan is indeed based partially on Agent and Gravity. What I do like is that Pan is well-known for its massive and easy downloading capacity. I love to collect pictures of old cars. I can go into a binary newsgroup, select 6000 pictures, and download them with three keystrokes. My NNTP provider allows up to 60 concurrent connections at once so it doesn't take too long to do that.

    I am also looking at gating USENET directly into the BBS (MBSE has that capability). I don't want to get all the groups; just a few I like and what my users might like.

    I run the BBS for my own enjoyment these days but if I can offer something for everyone, that's even better.

    We went there on a tour of Lake Superior. He has a very large building
    with hundreds of old cars. I sent you a few pictures I took to the most
    recent email address I have for you.

    newsgroup, select 6000 pictures, and download them with three
    keystrokes. My NNTP provider allows up
    to 60 concurrent connections at once so it doesn't take too long to do that.

    I used to subscribe to a free newserver that had binarys and would
    download pictures of flowers and owls. But they shut down, and my
    current free feed does not seem to have binary files. OTOH, I'm not too worried about that.


    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

    Title: Poor Man's Stroganof
    Categories: Beef
    Yield: 1 servings

    1 lb Lean ground beef
    1 sm Onion, finely diced
    4 oz Fresh mushrooms (quartered)
    1 cn Cream of mushroom soup
    1/4 c Dry white wine (substitute
    1/4 c Chicken broth, or even
    Water)
    4 oz Sour cream
    Salt, pepper to taste

    Heat a frying pan, and add ground beef. Stir to break the beef up
    into small bits, then add onion and mushrooms. Cook, stirring
    frequently, until the beef is done and the onions are transparent.

    Drain off any fat, add remaining ingredients, and simmer until flavors
    are well blended (about 30 minutes).

    Serve over cooked noodles or rice.

    NOTE: If omitting the wine, I would add a generous shot of
    Worcestershire sauce to this recipe, just because...But I've made it
    without either, and never had any leftovers.

    Thank you and I did get your pictures. I appreciate it.

    I go through Easynews which is $10 a month for their basic tier. However, if I decide to actually set up my own NNTP feed for the BBS, I'll probably just dump them and go through my system. That, unfortunately, will be a while with the current (good) upheaval in my life.

    functionallity as my Gravity. But once I find something I like, I
    tend to stick with it until forced to change for some reason. Hence
    why still using BlueWave, Meal Master, etc.

    I'm with you on that... :) You might also mention putting effort into keeping one's favorites workable, not just passively sticking with
    them... ;) Once I found Bluewave, there was no looking back.. or
    looking around any more... ;)

    Title: Hungarian Beef Goulash with Potato Dumplings

    Interesting coincidence, Bill McGloughlin's Exploring Music series on my classical station has been looking this week at the music of the
    Magyars, composers from or of Hungary and/or using Hungarian music in
    their compositions... :) It's been a very tasty series... :)
