I have a client I'm building a BBS/web site setup for and I'm testing it on my own system first. Functionality is growing, but I've got it checking if the user can "login" to my site based on their login information from the BBS and once authenticated, you can see the last 5 messages from my Fido and Metronet message bases. I am still working on how to display the ANSI graphics, but the rest works pretty well.
Thanks to g00r00 for the help with the pascal code to get me in the right direction.
If you want to see the work in progress:
https://thepotogold.net
It is written in .Net core and has 4 components:
-- The website
-- A API that handles the authentication
-- An applet that reads the message bases and user information
-- And a SQL database that houses some of the user and message information (for speed of access from the site, since the BBS is in the DMZ of my home network and the web site is at an offsite virtual machine).
It was has been a fun experience and I've picked up on some of the nuances of Pascal/Delphi.
