However many do not and we are attempting to assertain how accessable

access via services like Compuserve for E-mail but not Net-news, which is
a function we would like as well as FTP.  I am requesting any and all

Available just about everywhere in that area are Microtimes and Computer
Currents, both of which are free and contain reasonably accurate BBS listings
for the entire San Francisco Bay Area.  A rack of them can be found around
fairly large self-serve newspaper racks.

I hope this helps!

From article <Bw4IIw.I29@gator.rn.com>, by larry@gator.rn.com (Larry Snyder):
> TBBS is fine if you can live with its limitations -
> 
>   o 64 message areas
	
	There are 64 "standard" message bases.  You can configure these as
topic bases which, to the user, can be configured to look entirely like
the "standard" base.  In "topic" formation, you can get 15,752,961
message areas.  With Tmail, these are fully usable as echo conferences
for fidonet message areas or usenet newsgroups.

>   o the inability to run external applications in real time
>     from multiple lines

	But there is the ability to run applications written for TDBS,
which in many cases, can surpass the performance and capability
of those written for native DOS and run as "doors" (though I'll be the
first to admit that I've seen very little programs written in TDBS that
impress me as being "well written" and many TDBS programs are vastly
over-expensive).

>   o the limitation of 65000 messages on line at any one
>     time

	Well, we could quibble about what the value is of a word (65535?),
but for the most part, this is true.  Using The Message Manager, a
message base replacement for TDBS, you can get apparently unlimited
sized message bases (though I've never seen this except from a user's
POV, and was not very impressed)

>   o the inability to add external protocols

	Beyond Xmodme, Ymodem, Ymodem Batch, Ymodem-G, Zmodem-90,
Kermit, Kermit Windowed, SEALink, what other protocols do you need?

>   o the inability to support networking (ethernet, etc)

	This is deceptive.  While it's certainly not an elegant
solution, our system is hooked into a terminal server which allows
people to telnet in.  When Interchange is released, we expect to
be able to dialout through them as well.

>   o the inability to support different operating systems

	I think it's a small price to pay for a nearly bulletproof program
written in assembly that is fast under DOS.  Opinion, of course.

>   o the inability to support usenet/uucp internally
>   o and are happy with running another fidonet based system

	We're hooked into both the Fidonet and the Internet.  People
can telnet to our system, we gate usenet newsgroups and mail to our
system.  I'd say we're pretty usenet compatable...

 Actually, following the logic in the post above, you should get a bunch of
your friends together, chip in 1000 dollas each, and then buy a Ferrari among
all of you. You keep trying to convince people here that piracy is wrong
because of the simple fact that it's "theft". You just haven't noticed that
many people don't feel it is because there's no physical material being taken
away from the owner. Therefore you're gonna have to come up with a better
argument than just saying: IT'S THEFT!, or an argument proving that there's
a similarity between stealing something physical, and copying something. Like
somebody said a few posts ago: there's a difference between something
inherently wrong (i.e. killing somebody), and something that a law says you
can't do (i.e. duplicating magnetic bits).

TBBS is fine if you can live with its limitations -

  o 64 message areas
  o the inability to run external applications in real time
    from multiple lines
  o the limitation of 65000 messages on line at any one
    time
  o the inability to add external protocols
  o the inability to support networking (ethernet, etc)
  o the inability to support different operating systems
  o the inability to support usenet/uucp internally
  o and are happy with running another fidonet based system

I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear, but I'm looking for an ARexx script, not
really a program.

TBBS only supports 65000 messages, correct?  That alone is very limited
- we currently have 120,400 messages on-line.  Also, doesn't TBBS have
some limit on message size?  We have messages up to 200K in size here -
will TBBS support messages up to 200K in size?
