with USENET or FIDO, I have heard that someone finally went ahead and made one since Tom Jennings did not go ahead and create one. Anything with multi line capability and chat mode for all users (teleconference) is what I'm interested in.

There was something called Diversi-Modem (I think) that did allow multiple lines and chat, but from what I've heard from others, it was chat only. The advertisements said that it could drive seven (7) modems at once, but I find this unlikely unless the program loaded from tape (no room for a disk drive) and in 40 columns (slot 3 for 80 columns). Basically it is a program if you want to dedicate your machine to the task and use it for nothing else. I've been told of GBBS boards that were multi-node, but was told that it was multi-cpu, sharing a hard drive. I believe the Proline software allows you to hook into Usenet. Myself, I'm an ACOS owner switching to METAL as soon as I can get an order sent out. -- /// ____ \\\ DON'T \"Have you ever been to Belgium in fact?"

I know a fellow locally who created a FIDO interface for GBBS software. It runs $50 I think. If you like I can get more information. I believe GBBS is ~$80 mail order, so the combination of FIDO-compatibility and GBBS would make a nice package. -- Jawaid Bazyar |"I'm sure K&R have never heard of Mike."

The program you refer to was called "Diversi-dial", and could in fact support
7 modems, using 40 cols and a tape.
