[fbb] 80286 and DosFBB

[Miroslav Skoric (YT7MPB)]

Hello all,

... Btw, if it is not possible to run DosFBB 7 versions on a 80286
CPU box with only 1 MB RAM, what other software could you suggest? I was 
thinking on MSYS but it looks that it doesn't support network cards at 
all. At the
moment I have been experimenting with JNOS and it works but I have
forwarding issues between it and the other comp running WinFBB/LinFBB.

The idea is to relace JNOS in the picture:

80286 CPU + JNOS 1.11f ----- Ethernet ----- P II CPU + WinFBB/LinFBB

FYI, 80286 I planned to use as a 24/7 packet-only BBS on the local
VHF band, while the other comp runs FBB from time to time including
Internet connection (as well as telnet fwd with remote FBB's). When
active it should also feed the DOS mailbox with bulletin stuff etc.

Any idea?
