hi,
how would i make a raspberry pi automate posting to a bbs board? i don't want to make a whole bbs server, just have it post to the board. i've tried looking at the wiki's how-to, but i'm confused which programs i need to install to achieve this..

If you install Synchronet, you'll get jsexec and the module postmsg.js which can be invoked with jsexec:
https://wiki.synchro.net/module:postmsg
You don't need to install anything but Synchronet and then you can use
the postmsg module to automate the posting of messages to a Synchronet message base. --

Ah, alright thanks!
This guidance does assume you're running a Synchronet BBS (this is the "Synchronet Discussion" message area after all). If you're not running a Synchronet BBS (or any BBS at all), then using standard message posting/network technologies like QWK or FTN (FidoNet Technology) would be better. --

Oh, is there a guide for QWK/FTN posting?
