    Pyffle BBS - Waffle for the New American Century - http://pyffle.com ====================================================================

    Pyffle was created as a tribute to the coolest BBS software ever in
    existence, Waffle.

    Unfortunately the only version floating around nowadays is a binary-
    only copy
    of version 1.65 for DOS from 1993 or so (which I do run on B4BBS, http://sampsa.com/b4bbs, through DOSBOX, with UUCP and everything)
    as the Unix sources have gone missing - this prompted the creation of
    Pyffle,
    the Python re-implementation of Waffle for Unix.

    You can test drive it by telnetting to hq.pyffle.com

    I've also built a ready-to-run VMWare VM for running Pyffle without
    all the annoying hassle of setting up Postgres and stuff yourself.

    See http://www.uuhec.net/pyffle-bbs/pyffle-turnkey-vmware-appliance/
    for details on downloading and setting the VM up.
