Wise - heh - anyway, there is at least one commercial BBS-software available, and you can check how it works by dialing to California to numbers (805)-582-9306 (V.22bis, MNP), or (805)-581-1275 (USR DS). The name of the BBS-software is Magnum BBS or something like that, from that BBS you can see, how to get that software. -- Reijo Salminen - via FidoNet node 1:140/22 UUCP: alberta!dvinci!weyr!2!515!1!Reijo.Salminen Internet: Reijo.Salminen@f1.n515.z2.FIDONET.ORG Standard Disclaimers Apply...

> 3. MagnuS (I think) 1-416-867-9664 Yup. And 416-867-9664 > 5. And of an OPUS Clone. No details. I think you're talking about magnuS again -- it is an opus clone (at least it started out that way; it's a lot more advanced now). The one from FL is a PM bbs I hear! That makes about as much sense as porting CONFMAIL or MASM to PM. I can understand writing a user interface for the bbs in PM (ala MSGED), but the bbs itself? naw. -- Peter Fitzsimmons - via FidoNet node 1:140/22 UUCP: alberta!dvinci!weyr!250!628.1!Peter.Fitzsimmons Internet: Peter.Fitzsimmons@p1.f628.n250.z1.FIDONET.ORG Standard Disclaimers Apply...

Peter, As the author of the PM based BBS, let me clarify a few things.. The node sessions run in either text windows or full screen sessions. The component of the BBS that utilizes the PM is the sysop utility/control program. This allows the SYSOP to take advantage of the convenience of PM. In addition, it supplies the SYSOP with statistics on current system activity, animated graphs, etc. Who said PM doesn't make sense? - Troy -- Troy Carroll - via FidoNet node 1:140/22 UUCP: alberta!dvinci!weyr!3605!56!Troy.Carroll Internet: Troy.Carroll@f56.n3605.z1.FIDONET.ORG Standard Disclaimers Apply...
