I've been running a BBS off and on since the mid-90s, and have tried a variety of methods to do so: OS/2 on real hardware, DosBox on Linux, a VM running OS/2, and more modern software that runs fine on modern Windows without the need of dealing with
I've been getting into cracking DOS software, focusing on BBS software, doors, utilities, etc. My latest project is a keygen (registration # and key file generator) for SuperBBS 1.17-3. I understand that, like a lot of BBS software, the source code and registration tools for SuperBBS were lost to time. You can download SuperBBS 1.17-3 from Jason Scott's BBS Documentary website: http://software.bbsdocumentary.com/IBM/DOS/SUPERBBS/
The keygen 'SBBSKEY2.ZIP' is available for download in file area 4 (cracks) of Another Millennium BBS, another.tel port 23.

SuperBBS 1.17-3 KEYGENv2 by akacastor 2024-04-10
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The SBBS-KEY keygen will generate a registration number to enter in CONFIG and
a .SCC file that must be placed in the SBBS directory.
You _MUST_ do _BOTH_ of:
1) Enter Sysop Name, BBS Name, and Reg # under Registration in CONFIG.
and
2) Place the generated .SCC file in your SBBS directory (where BBS.EXE lives).
The timestamp of the .SCC file cannot be altered! SuperBBS includes the .SCC
file timestamp in its verification checks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
usage: SBBS-KEY "Sysop Name" "BBS Name"
NOTE - don't forget the quotes around each name!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
example:
C:\CRACKS>SBBS-KEY "Sysop Name" "BBS Name"

About to embark on getting Renegade DOS v1.33 up and running on ArcaOS.
Never used OS/2 during the 90’s bit was always curious about its DOS capabilities (“does DOS better than DOS”).
It also has a legal version of Windows 3.1 included, and some support for Windows 32 native apps. I figured at the very least I’ll need Perl to run the telnet sever that’s out there, or maybe Net2BBS will run.
Anyone use ArcaOS for BBSing? I know Mystic BBS had a native version at one point.
Biggest downside to trial is there is no trial version - $129 even to mess around with it.
