I have a 3com network of PCs and diskless WSs. I'd like to set up a multiuser
BBS system for clients and employees, but I need to be sure that it is possible
to use the system with the network (i.e. the bboard shouldn't barf because of
interrupt conflicts or file locking problems, etc), and I need to be able to
customize the user interface depending on who's calling. I posted a slightly
vague explanation of what I needed to do, and I've gotten a few responses
telling me to use 3+Remote and 3+Menu. Unfortunately, I've already tried this
and it is *way* too slow for use by clients. What I'm looking at is a
multi-port serial board (a la Galacticomm) and the BBS software they sell with
it.
All I really want is information, so I can buy smart. If you have personal
experience, reviews of, or general information about running bboards on IBM
systems (especially but not limited to multiuser, technical support bboards),
or if you can even point me to someone who does, *please* let me know.
Thanks much!
Be seeing you...
