For information on both of these programs, contact Mitch Duszynski in Urbana, Illinois. His voice number is (217)337-0156. In a town with over 30 BBS's, his is probably the most popular even among the IBM boards. I'm sorry, but I don't have the number for Surburbia! handy since I always called it with auto dialers. >One quick question: I am trying out EBBS right now to see if it is >worth it.

This way, if a caller asks to see the disk directory, he won't see a list of private messages. To see private messages in a directory type from the sysop menu: "$" to ask for the directory, then enter which drive. Then you must enter what types of files you want to view. If I remember right it is * for all files *=s for sequential files *=u for usr files *=p for program files Of course I could be wrong. To read feedback, you must go to the BBS menu and select "R"ead mail. Otherwise, you will not see it. The system automatically erases email when you log off to maintain disk space. Sometime ago, I wrote the author of EBBS for information on this program. He was very nice, prompt and helpful. His version for 128 is, I am told, a graphix program. The 64 version was not, which is why I never pursued it further. |-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| | Bob Brewer, Instructor of Low Brass and Music Education | | Director, Jazz Studies and the CSU Jazz Orchestra | | Department of Music, Theatre and Dance | | Colorado State University at Fort Collins | | Office phone: 303-491-6957 | | | | Internet address: bbrewer@lamar.ColoState.EDU | |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-|

From what I have seen, the very best BBS program for the C128 computer is a commerical piece of software known as C-Net. This product is sold thru a company known as Prespective Software located in Michigan. The cost is a bit high as compared to most software you would pruchase for your C128, costing arround $60-$75 for your disks. The software at frist seems a bit complex to set up, but once you get things running, you will proabaly find as I did that you will be very happy with it and would not trade it for anything else. * ANSI color + IBM graphics support * Commodore C/G mode * 40/80 colum conversion for easy to read posts on any terminal * ASCII conversion supported * Xmodem, CRC, 1K, Window, and Y batch as well as punter and putner mutil. * Hard drive compatable These are just a few features. Your hardware requirements will be mostly drive space. You will need an 80 colum monitor, color recomended, but only 16K Vram needed. Ram Expasion supported as fast ram disk, but not required. A 100 user system with UD's will run comfortably on 2 1581 drives, but more disk space is alaways nice depending on just how much you want to provide your users. My total system space personally right now is arround 15 megabytes. If your considering a hard disk for this system, I highly recomend the Xetec Lt Kernal, but IEEE and CMD drives are fine. 2400 baud is fully supported, and Im working on a way to make it work at 9600 but not having much luck yet. Networking is also aviable as an option, this network is growing fast! Sorry for all the spelling errors! ctfm
