Hello Stuart,
FBB does get some attention now and then but I wouldn't call it active
development. I would make sure you're running the newer version to void
known issues:
"xd705f" is the newest as of 6/2013 is the newest -
http://f6bvp.free.fr/logiciels/BBS-f6fbb/xd705f-src.tar.bz2
There is also Jnos which is probably under more development than FBB:
http://www.langelaar.net/projects/jnos2/about.html
Speaking of BBSes and Outpost, the local ARES/RACES team here in Silicon
Valley (Santa Clara) have done a bang up job at building a multi-node
packet system using JNOS supporting multi-port RF and Internet backups
for full local messaging, BBS forwarding, and SMTP forwarding. This
system was co-developed by Jim Oberhofer KN6PE (Outpost developer) and
many other local HAMs. You can learn more about this system and maybe
save yourself a LOT of time and headaches by contacting that group:
http://www.scc-ares-races.org/packet.html
That team has developed some installer scripts that take a lot of the
pain out of configuring the JNOS, various forwarding rules, etc. to
support tactical callsigns, backup relays, etc.
