Outpost BBS is a hobby I've had since 1998 when I opened my first public bulletin board system (BBS). The BBS is running MBSE BBS under Slackware 64 Linux on a HPE ProLiant ML110 G6 server (quad-core Intel Xeon CPU X3430 @ 2.4ghz, 8GB RAM, 2.5TB of storage) on a 750/750 fiber optic Internet connection.
I am a member of the MBSE Development Team. I contribute occasional code and work on converting the manual from HTML to LaTeX to create a professional manual for MBSE.
You can get details and statistics about the BBS by connecting to the BBS' Web server.
You can connect to the Outpost via telnet to bbs.outpostbbs.net. I recommend using SyncTerm or Qodem to connect to the BBS via telnet.
Verified users can connect using SSH on port 22.
No guest access available.
If you decide to create an account, please know that creating an account on the BBS will require you to disclose your real name and other personal information for sysop use only. New accounts are usually verified within 24 hours. Incomplete and fake accounts will be deleted.

Outpost BBS is the home of Cheepware BBS doors and utilities; The Micronet Information Network (zone 618); and the Fidonet BBS_ADS, CHWARE, CLASSIC_COMPUTER, COOKING, DIABETES, GOLDED, HAM, and OTHERNETS echomail conferences.

Outpost BBS is the home of the Cheepware BBS door line and features:
All Cheepware programs are available for download in the Cheepware file area on Outpost BBS, via anonymous FTP to bbs.outpostbbs.net in /pub/local/cheep, or on the Cheepware webpage.
Outpost offers a good-sized filebase with an eclectic mix of files covering a wide range of interests such as ANSI/RIP graphics, e-books (PDF), BBSing, amateur radio, OS/2 support, programming, home and hobby, and food-related files. In addition, we offer selected areas from the Fidonet filebone (networked file areas) and the entire Micronet and Nixnet filebones.
There will be a lot more files coming as time permits.
The Outpost BBS FTP server is available at bbs.outpostbbs.net via anonymous FTP with access to the Cheepware filebase; the Fidonet, Micronet, and NixNet network filebones; and a few other miscellaneous areas. Full access is available to verified BBS users and invited guests to prevent misuse of system resources.
