I just saw that rbbs-pc (v 17.2B) was uploaded so SIMTEL20. What bbs software would you recommend for the PC under MS-DOS? Also, is there a version of "rn" that runs under MS-DOS? Thanks much, Rob Jaksa jaksa@cpswh.cps.msu.edu (csnet & arpanet) JAKSA@MSUEGR (bitnet) ...uunet!frith!jaksa (uucp)

It offers many sysop functions, large support, its own network (WWIVnet), lots of 3rd party external programs, etc. Plus, all of my users say it is the easiest BBS to work with as a user. If you'd like to see it in action, call my BBS, The Canisius College BBS, at (716)883-2260. You can also call the WWIV Main Board at (213)208-6689. > Thanks much, > Rob Jaksa No prob. -- ...!{decvax|watmath|allegra|rocksvax}!sunybcs!canisius!jarnot jarnot@klaatu.cs.canisius.edu "Damn, these chancres hurt!" | Buffalo...the Miami of the North. -Friedrich Nietzsche | Miami...the Buffalo of the South??

You can also call the WWIV Main Board at >(213)208-6689. The questions that I have, and I believe others out there may have them, are in the summary line. How does one get his/her hands on a copy of the BBS, and does it require moola cash, or any cash? Gracias. -- Gordon. P.S. While I'm on the topic, does anyone know of a BBS which can allow the sysop to actually do other work on the PC (which doesn't involve the serial port obviously) while still allowing the BBS to execute. I'm not talking about a pop-out shell because most times the caller or BBS will be suspended while he/she is working. I'm looking for the same type of concept which 'backmail' uses (it is a TSR which handles the calling and answering of the phone while you are allowed to use your PC for other things). If this is an extremely generic question and you all know the answer, then I apologize. I have been on BBS' before, but never run one. I would like to set one up now. -- Gordon C.
