Wired: BBS system for OS X
Zanka Software today released , an open, modern and free version of the BBS-style client/server system, providing chat, messaging and file transfers. Wired consists of an open-source UNIX server, a protocol specification, a free Mac OS X native client, and a Wired server with a native Mac OS X System Preferences panel. Wired is built using the TLS protocol for encrypted transport and the protocol itself is freely available, allowing other developers to create their own versions, ports or improvements. The system offers native support for the global character set Unicode and strong encryption (e.g., AES) as Chat-only support for Hotline clients.
