Outpost BBS

This is the official X account for Outpost BBS (telnet: and Cheepware BBS doors/utils.

[Outpost BBS @BbsOutpost]

Just added over 12,000 OS/2-related files to the BBS from the former https://t.co/goYNT7AsJj BBS by Pete Norloff. A lof of work but worth it!

[Outpost BBS @BbsOutpost]

The BBS has had some sort of catastrophic network failure so it is down. I was wanting to try to install it on a HP i5 I was given so tomorrow evening will be the right time.

[Outpost BBS @BbsOutpost]

Outpost BBS is now available via telnet at telnet://bbs.outpostbbs.net:10323 or via the Web at https://t.co/txgc3o2vhv. Back running Maximus/2!

This would be good for BBS documentation.

Here is a handy and useful #Linux, #macOS, #FreeBSD and #Unix shell script that reduce PDF file size using Ghostscript. No need to upload your PDF file to the shady third-party website. https://t.co/W48WSnr0TZ

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary

[Outpost BBS @BbsOutpost]

Outpost BBS is now available via telnet at https://t.co/HLO1hXCp5W port 10323!

[Outpost BBS @BbsOutpost]

Updating my BBS doors and hoping to have maintenance releases hatched out via CH-WARE and MIN_BBS by the end of the month.

[Outpost BBS @BbsOutpost]

Just added 14GB of files to the BBS' filebase and am working on adding about 10GB more. Interested? D/L the nightly ALLFILES list: https://t.co/MDRSpT0bKQ

[Outpost BBS @BbsOutpost]

Effective immediately, Outpost BBS' telnet port has moved from port 10123 to port 23 (standard).

[Outpost BBS @BbsOutpost]

This account is no longer automated since Twitter cut off my automation script at the knees.

[Outpost BBS @BbsOutpost]

Just installed Snort IDS on my edge firewall device so moving the BBS back to port 23 from port 10123 for telnet later today. Don't know why I put that off for so long...

Outpost BBS is now available securely via the Web and no telnet client needed: https://t.co/txgc3o1XrX

[Outpost BBS @BbsOutpost]

So I made this account automated and I log in and Twitter is telling me to interact more to make sure a human is behind this account. What do they think "automated" means? 🤣

A friend is giving me an older i5-powered "gaming" system. Going to turn it into a NAS using XigmaNAS because why not?

[Outpost BBS @BbsOutpost]

A friendly reminder to my fellow BBS sysops: tonight the annual DST time change happens for those areas that observe it at 0200.

[Outpost BBS @BbsOutpost]

I forgot to mention that Outpost BBS is now open for business via telnet to https://t.co/HLO1hXCp5W. Still adding file areas but mail is flowing smoothly and I have ported almost all of my BBS doors to FreeBSD.

[Outpost BBS @BbsOutpost]

The BBS is back online. No issues setting up the pfSense box, thankfully.

[Outpost BBS @BbsOutpost]

Outpost BBS will be down for a short while sometime this afternoon as I perform some needed maintenance and set up a pfSense box.
