# MagickaBBS
Linux/FreeBSD bulletin board system
As I lost the code to my initail BBS flea, I've decided to start over from scratch and this time I'm using git hub so I dont
lose it again!
Magicka is meant to be a modern (haha) BBS system, using modern technologies, like Sqlite, XMPP, long filenames (gasp!) etc
while still retaining the classic BBS feel. ANSI & Telnet, and good old ZModem.

I plan to work on things in this order:
* Mail System (using JAM LIB for compatability) (Mostly Done)
* External Door Support (Mostly Done)
2016-03-22 01:59:42 +00:00
* File Systems
* Everything else..

but you will need to use an SQLite Manager to modify users.sq3 and set security levels, as there is no user editor yet.
