I am currently looking into setting up a BBS carrying news (possibly e-mail) in the Ottawa (ONT) area for general access. In that regard I have a few questions for you member of the news world: 1) Is there such a beast in Ottawa???? 2) What kind of Hardware ( modem, PC ) / Operating (DOS/Xenix/OS2) system can be used???? 3) Anyone in Ottawa would agree to provide with a newsfeed/(mailfeed?). Thanks a lot to all who might/will respond. MBC --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michel B.

If you want to run the PCBoard BBS software you can get a feed from Canada Remote Systems here in toronto (I think they also have a regional feed in ottawa!! which would be better). I gateway ALL of usenet into this PCBoard BBS network as well as the local fidonet network. I don't know if they echo the fidonet stuff as far as ottawa.
