A friend of mine wants to correspond with his children in Sacramento
in a less expensive way than the phone... anyone with a list of the
bbs's and unix sites in Sacramento please respond. I have posted 
several messages with no luck. I believe it is the 916 area code.

Thanks in advance.

Well, there's also Simplex BBS.  Supposed to be something like Remote Access.
I tried it when I was running OS/2 EE 1.3 and didn't have much success; used
Maximus instead.  If Fido compatibility isn't an issue, there's also the
Omega Point/2 BBS software.  The only one I ever found on an FTP site was
Max/2 2.00; the others are available from the Fernwood BBS.

Cheers,
Todd

Greetings, net-BBS'ers
         I recently came across some BBS software called "Powerboard",
written by Scott Brown.  I have version 1.0 although the latest
release is 1.1, & I like it so far--it's easily customizable & has
most of the bells & whistles one expects to find in DOS-based
BBS s/w.  The version I have is not too Desqview-aware, but the author
assured me this was fixed in the new release.
        Anyway, I sent in my registration for the single-line package
yesterday ($75 US) and was just wondering if anyone out there was 
using this BBS software & what your opinion was of it.  Any comments
via e-mail would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
         Jay

Does anyone have the necessary info to connect through DataPac to any of 
the following places?

Ohio State U
U of Wyoming
Princeton U
U of Florida

I need the info to go from DataPac to these systems.

I would also be interested in any info on switching from DataPac to 
Telenet OTHER THAN using 13106 (or similar) method.
The problem is that I have info to connect to systems through Telenet but 
the info cannot be used through the DataPac/Telenet combination.

One last thing that I would be interested in finding out about (Since the 
local phone company doesn't know) is availability of PC-Persuit from 
within the 204 area code.  I have no real info about PC-Persuit such as 
cost, limitations, advantages, etc.  Any info here would be helpful.

Since it doesn't look like I'm going to get to many more responses
to the survey, I might as well sumarize now.  Since different 
areas have different time periods for payments, I have decided
to adjust all of them to a base of cost per month.  I have
also converted the amounts into US currency.

Cost for unlimited number of echoes   |   number of respondents
--------------------------------------+-------------------------
free                                  |       1

$2.50 - $3.00                         |       1 
$5.00                                 |       2


Cost based per echo                   |   number of respondents

$2.00 per echo                        |       1

I usually only have to make local calls, so there's not really much charge.
However, I do make a few ld calls to pick up "special" echos from other nets
that I participate in.  Usually I pay around 10 bucks to 20 a month.

We are paying $2/month for each echo we want.  In other words for 100
echoes we would have to pay $200/month.

Fido Net 272 charges $5.00 per month, paid quarterly (in advance) with a $5.00
'retainer'.  The don't actually call it a retainer, but it's close enough.
Net 272 is South East New York.

You are themost noxious person I have had the ill fortune to come across, 
here, sir.  What you are doing is whining repeatedly, over and over, and 
are becoming less and less sypathetic.  It seems that you lack the 
capability to apreciate others views.  Frankly, if you want to know the 
truth, I personally don't think the copyright laws are of any use any 
more.  Thay have been pushed into obsolescence by the economy.  Don't 
whine to me about your "small guy", stuff.  I, too, am a small guy.  I 
bet you have a nice home, family, etc, so stop bitching.  The quote you 
so arrogantly retaliated againt, by the way, has nothing whatsoever to do 
with this discussion, other than it states a view I have:  don't buy the 
brain rot that people like you dish out.  You _reek_ of the corporate 
mentality pal.  Go ahead, post software to the net.  I think you _should_ 
be able to do it, smart ass.  And I think all the corp people like Bill 
Gates, etc., could get as pissed off as they like, because it really 
would have very little effect on me.  You sound like somebody with 
something to lose.  You sound like some cowering little worm who sweats 
petty copyright laws which are only there to fill pockets of a bunch of 
greedy corporate scumbags.  You sound like you need an enema.

Lay off me, jerk.  I have stated an opinion, and I don't appreciate being 
lambasted over it.  What is it about some people that they can't just 
say,  "I disagree, this is why."  There was no need to be nasty about it. 
 Sounds to me as if you're upset because your outrage is not shared by 
the rest of the net to the extent you feel it should be.  So be it.  Get 
used to it.  There are a lot of different people out here, and not 
everyone will agree with you.  Some, like you, will just attack you for 
little reason.  Big Brother are ya watchin?

	Although this press release is hysterical, I think most of the
discussion here is missing the point of it.  There *is* some danger to
children calling up BBS unsupervised.  There was an incident here in
Boston not too long ago where a young boy was raped by a man he "met"
on a local BBS (Argus?); the man met him at a local mall.

	The way to deal with this sort of problem, of course, is not
to keep modems out of the hands of youngsters, but to instead make
sure the parents are informed and know what their kids are doing.
It's very easy to think you "know" someone just by swapping e-mail
back and forth -- when you really don't.  Kids are even *more*
succeptible to falling for this false sense of security than adults
are.  Kids using BBSs need to be taught that they shouldn't trust
folks met over the networks just as they need to be taught not to get
into a stranger's car.  There are sex peverts in Cyberspace.  Any woman
who's spent any time out on the net will tell you that.

      Hello world.  I was hoping to tap your expertise on what to 
select as far as a commercial (or non-commercial) BBS package.
 
      I consider myself an advanced [not expert] bbs user, and have
run 2 bbs's in the past.  But due to the fast pace of technology, I
just haven't kept up.  Well, I'll get right to the problem...
 
      ======> THE PROBLEM <======
 
The problem is as follows.  I work for a company
that would like to set up a user support bbs for
its customers.  No problem so far.  We would like
a bbs that :
 
      -RUNS UNDER DOS (I have no problem naming quite a few!)
      -IS MULTIUSER   (I can still name quite a few!)
      -CAN HAVE MULTIPLE LOGINS OVER
       A NOVELL NETWORK WHILE STILL
       USING THE PHONE LINES. (The Major BBS comes to mind...)
      -IS FAIRLY CHEAP (UNDER $700 for a 4 user license)
       AND DOESN'T REQUIRE SPECIAL HARDWARE.
 
       What are my choices?  Can Wildcat do it all? What about TBBS?
       What licensing options are availible?  Can it run on a 286?
 
       Please tell me whatever you can.  E-mail is preferable, though
       I do read news.  Feel free to send me any radical opinions
       either for or against any program.
 
       Oh, and I realize that several people are going to throw boots
       at me for this one, but what about UUCP/USENET/Internet
       connectivity?
 
       Send it all to me!
 
                 Thanks
