From: thelake!steve@stag.UUCP (Steve Yelvington) I chatted with David Parsons (orc), the author of STadel BBS, a few minutes ago and he gave me some information on the upcoming version 3.3a (shareware). It probably will be released to a couple of beta sites in the next few weeks -- assuming he can get to a working ST to compile it. His 1040 has officially died and he's sold off the hard disk. Development is proceeding on a PC clone, however. 3.3a will be able to network with other STadel/STadel-PC/Citadel-86/ Citadel-68K/Amidel systems using xmodem, ymodem or wxmodem, depending on the net partner's capability. Wxmodem should greatly improve performance when netting via PC Pursuit. The Citadel network now stands at 52 nodes, including one run by Atari Corp. (408-745-2051). UUCALL, the STadel/UUCP networker, is being reworked toward full uucico compatibility. It will not be distributed with STadel and may be sold through an existing software house. The portion of UUCALL that integrates mail with the STadel message base will be converted into a stand-alone rmail program so UUCP can do the usual rmail commands to channel mail to BBS users. *___________________________________________________________________* | thelake!steve@stag.UUCP / ...decvax!pwcs!stag!thelake!steve | | Steve Yelvington/1392 Brandlwood Rd./White Bear Lake MN 55110 USA | | "A member of STdNet -- to join, send mail to ftg!dwm@stag.UUCP" | *-------------------------------------------------------------------*

If you call the number given in that post, you will be very disappointed. The STadel board at Atari is for outgoing calls only, for purposes of networking to other STadel boards. Please do not call it! We cannot tie up that line. The board won't accept callers anyway... and no one is supposed to even know the number. Remember, the number for the real Atari BBS is (408) 745-5308. That gets you to one of the 5 lines, currently using the Michtron BBS software. STadel and FoReM are used for networking only, not for incoming calls. --->Neil -- Neil Harris, Director of Product Marketing UUCP: ...{hoptoad, lll-lcc, pyramid, imagen}!atari!neil GEnie: NHARRIS, BIX: neilharris, CIS: 70007,1135, Office: 408-745-2160
