DPbox is a powerful amateur radio BBS program, written by DL8HBS and DL4YBG runnin in some unices platforms such as Linux.
The Main characteristic of DPbox is the communication system with other programs, using a socket: this is a great idea because it permits an easy way to access DPbox from external applications.
Since version 5.00, DL8HBS provided an external program, DPGATE, usable to access DPbox features from other applications, such as telnet connections or CGI scripts.
In the optics of access ham BBS features through a web browser, the DPAccess project was born: it is a small suite of programs and scripts which permit users to access DPBbox bbs functions from a CGI interface.
Programs are written in C language, instead of scripts which are written in Tcl.
