I believe it's in: Article menu /User/Computer/Macintosh/Phoenix Sig/Files/Telecommunications 2858.3.13 That's where I saw it last. Good luck.

My mail to the original poster bounced, so I'll post this information here since it may be of general interest: Nova Link is a multi-tasking multi-user BBS that supports VT100 (including color) and its own graphics (used with the Novaterm communications program). There is no limit on the number of simultaneous users. Using serial port cards, we have run in as many as eight lines at once. The new IIcxi should handle this kind of traffic even better. Unfortunately, the Res Nova (the software company) support board has been unable to go online due to a two-month phone strike in Boston. The product itself is undergoing final testing before its first commercial release. It will cost under $100. Please e-mail me if you have any further questions, Greg Herlihy, Tech Support Manager (to be) Res Nova Software, Inc. David_Greg_Herlihy@cup.portal.com

Good luck. Huh? Is this something specific to the system you're on? Something on a public access Unix site somewhere? If so, what's its number, and, even better, can I get the thing by FTP? -- Palmer Davis -- Palmer T.
