	No. No. No. Renegade is a hack originating back here in
Massachusetts I believe... Involved with DragoNet. It's a hack of the
Telegard 2.5k source code that went around a year back. I hear it has some
very nice improvements over 2.5k, but Telegard 2.7 is relatively new and
the upgrade package should be out soon. 
	Rumors, rumors.

Well, Martin Polland is suppost to do a bug release soon. and Marty-Gard end
up being Telegard 2.7. 
I run "telegard" but I have the source. I've been taking out the back doors
like logoff.bat and so forth. I have no interest in releasing my modded
telegard code like Cott Lang has with his Renegade. I just feel SO much
secure with my modded copy. =)
Rob Merritt,

As a person who's participated in several ANSI standards development efforts,
I understand your point.  *However*, the world of GUI didn't begin until Apple
"just did it".  Then followed microsoft and the others.

I understand that many folks are trying to get realistic graphic standards put
together, but someone's got to take a proactive role in all of this before
people really start to move.  

Many companies have made millions, and have been quite successful by producing
proprietary standards... ala US Robotics and Apple.  Those are just two of the
countless folks who've given the standards world the kick in the pants they
needed.  I'll be the first to support open market standards, but the last to
stop someone's movement on a good concept.

  I'm really confused now.  This is the way I heard it.  After the news of 
no more new versions of Telegard the source was bought by Cott Lang and
he altered it made some revisions and changes to the source and called it
Renegade.  AFter that Martin Pollard went around(with the police) looking for 
all the Renegade boards and saying they were illegal hacks, and after that it 
was said Renegade was legal.. Which is it?

You do mean Stanford and MIT don't you? :-) The Lisp Machines predate

He's not but then again, his type is becoming more and more common.  WWIVNet in
general deserves it's reputation as a "kiddie net" in many respects.  Then
again, there are plenty of mature and intelligent system operators and some
most excellent boards on WWIVneta/Link/Etc....

From the gated newsgroups I've been seeing, there are a fair amount of
dickheads on usenet too, I guess they're everywhere and often more vocal than
the good folx.

Well, there is a program (WWCP) that allows Waffle systems to gate into and out
of usenet/internet.  The author is Bitbanger/Tony Hursh and can be reached at
1@500 WWIVnet and root@moosevax.cojones.com on usenet/internet.  

The software is virtually invisible to the users on each end and it works
great.  It doesn't allow me to gate MY board but I am able to carry newsgroups
from his waffle board via the WWCP software running on his end.

We are looking for recomendations for a BBS that can do the following:

Run off UNIX or Dos
Be access via Internet with a modem as an *option*.
Allow multiple users access at one time (via internet)
Give users access to Internet Mail and possibly News.

This is intended to be a support BBS where our employees can access and post
messages and our clients can access and read the messages and send mail to
ourstaff (it will be up to the client to get the internet access).
 
Does anyone have any suggestions???

I use Borland C++ 3.0 all the time under Desqview. All I needed was the DPMI
host driver (free from Quarterdeck), and a fix to BC3 that borland came out 
with (obtained from their support BBS). Admittedly, it's not the kind of 
solution that jumps out and bites you, but all I did was exercise the normal
support channels.

I have also seen a BBS package called XBBS, which I have heard works under
windows as all, and it also is free with full C source available. I 
believe a copy of it is available on either Garbo or Simtel20. I have an 
older release of it on my BBS at home, so I can probably get the authors'
BBS number from it if you like...
Good luck,

I would imagine the simple answer would be no, it isn't still that way, but 
honestly, in the 3+ years I've been running a Wildcat system, the message 
system NEVER operated in that manner. This would take me back to version 
2.10, and the test drive release at that time, (late 89/early 90), which
was based upon release 1.13. You do have the option of reading replies in 
order when reading messages, but it is not the default mode of operation
for reading messages. The default mode is non-threaded, sequential reading, 
and effective with version 3.00 of Wildcat, each message area is an individual
B-tree indexed database (prior versions kept one database combining all message
areas). The concept of joining conferences (or sub-boards) was introduced
in V3.0.
Cheers,
Kevin

	I am looking for a toll-free number to access a bulletin 
board service, does anyone know of any out there?  Ideally, something
similar to Prodigy, Compuserve, etc. is what I am interested in, but
something of "lower quality" would do.  Preferably an internet site
however.
	Please e-mail me with any help, as I do not subscribe to this
newsgroup.  Thanks a lot!!
