Hermes BBS

This web site is the home of the Hermes BBS package. Hermes was created in 1988 by Will Price under the company name AOC Software. It was subsequently owned and managed by 3 other parties from 1992-2024. In June 2024, Hermes was re-acquired by the original creator. Over time, this website will serve as a historical archive of Hermes BBS systems, software, source code, and information.

Hermes is now both free and open source. See the Downloads page for an archive of releases. More of the original source code is planned for release over time including the innovative serial number system.
