So life drags me away for a bit, I come back here -- and I am literally experiencing message area activity levels that I've not experienced in a very long time. A practical deluge of new messages!

On that note, a few things.

I tried looking for Magicka BBS Software and all of the links I found that
are supposed to be a home page for the software, tell me that the url is not able to resolve. I'm guessing some folks here might know a thing or two about that and point me in the right direction?

I've been watching the new "BACK TO THE BBS" Documentary Series and so far,
I'm liking what I see!

I've seen something about "encrypted netmail" for echonets as of late. Does this make the actual message itself encrypted so that only the recipient can read it? Or does it only encrypt it in-transit so that it can't be
intercepted by a third party?

I've also been noticing a means of securing a telnet connection by means of WebSocket. Do any terminal softwares support WebSocket as of yet, or only the HTML telnet clients?

I'm playing a massive game of catchup on changes that have happened within
the BBS Scene over the last few years. Thanks!

Magicka can be found at https://gitlab.com/magickabbs/magickabbs

I don't work on it anymore as I started over with C++ on a system called Talisman. Magicka is in plain C, it seems to work, I haven't had anyone
tell me there are bugs in it (which I'm happy to fix if they come up).

So is Talisman essentially "Magicka: Reloaded" ?

Not really. They're similar in that they are both BBS systems, but it's a complete starting from scratch.

Magicka has some things talisman doesn't, talisman has some things
magicka doesn't. Talisman isn't a drop in replacement like WWIV 5.x is
for WWIV 4.x

Well, I don't really know what either of them have or had, but I do get your point.
