Guru now operates on a 2-line rotary (AXE even!) number:
(03) 326 0440
If you have tried ringing the old number without success recently, this is
part of the problem :-) We have our only spare modem, a 1200, answering
the phone and advising people of the new number. Unfortunately this modem
is a tad flaky and has suffered in the recent hot weather in Melbourne, so
apologies to all who tried to get through without success.
The Guru Meditation BBS is a public system for Amiga users. We have all
Fred Fish Disks online (with 1-480 on a CDROM) plus other utilities,
hardware hacks and demos. In total we have 300Mb of files online, with
room for a further 100Mb.
Note, we ONLY support Amiga files so you don't have to wade through endless
IBM stuff to find the goodies for your Ami.
We also take a substantial Usenet news feed through our membership of APANA
(Australian Public Access Network Association), with all Amiga newsgroups
and all aus.groups carried, plus other miscellaneous groups of interest to
programmers and enthusiasts.
Very soon we will be joining Fido and taking the Fido Amiga echoes plus a
sprinkling of other interesting-type echoes that are available.
We are also in the process of acquiring a BBS version of a MUD and we are
expecting some DLG-compatible single- and multi-user games from the
Australian DLG Support person RSN.
Guru is a growing BBS. We don't like to stand still for too long. In the
2 months since we converted from an IBM-based waffle system to DLG on our
68030 2000, we have added the 2-line rotary mentioned above, a second modem
and the CDROM with Fred Fish collection. More phone lines are planned when
finances allow, plus extra storage space - again, when finances allow and
demand fills up our present hard drive!
DLG is extremely flexible BBS software, which is written FOR the Amiga
rather than ported from another platform and takes full advantage of the
Amiga's multitasking capabilites. Most of our users also comment on its
ease of use. It integrates very nicely with Matt Dillon's UUCP for the
Usenet and mail operations and has built-in Fido capabilities, using
TrapDoor as it's Front Door mailer.
If you're a Melburnian without access to ftp, then we may be able to supply
what you're looking for... if you're a sysop looking for good Amiga BBS
software, then call us and take a look around DLG - you'll be surprised at
its flexibility and features.
Please note that we have no financial affiliations with the producers of
DLG, we're just extremely satisfied sysops!
