    Try kumr.lns.com:/pub/fido/node* [140.174.7.1].  This site is
connected via a v.32bis/v.42bis modem, so transfers will be on the slow

I've been told this is a good place to post this:
  I have had PC Pursuit for years now, but must stop it due to bad 
financial situation in our family now.  I have had a good usenet/internet 
BBS here at tsoft in the San Fransisco area, but now I need to find a 
local, free (or small yearly fee, but not a monthly fee)usenet BBS in my 
area. Can someone help?!
  I live in the Huntington Beach, Calif area. It's area code (714).  Part 
of (714) and part of (310) are local to me.
  I don't need anything fancy, just want to read a few usenet sigs, and a 
mailbox, that's it. No shells, no ftp, etc.
  Someone sent me a list of a few, but how th heck to I get ahold of the 
sysop to create an account? For instance, there was only listed that I 
know is local: 
(714-894-2246), which is $20 a year, the most I could spend. But I don't 
know how to log on. It said type "nuucp" at hte "Logon:" prompt. I do so, 
and it says the logon message, then just stops. Does anyone know the 
phone number (voice or alternate) where I can reach the sysop here? 
Also, I tried calling another (dhw68k) which is local, but it said no 
room for new users. I wasn't sure if I had an account there or not a few 
years ago before I got PC Pursuit, but it didn't recognize me.
   Can someone help? PLEASE?!!
It doesn't have to be full internet or unix board.  I know there is a 
nice one in Orange (939-XX41), but Orange is long distance too. However, 
I am local to Anaheim, Stanton, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, 
Seal Beach, and a bunch of other cities. If you have a list, please email 
it to me, and I'll sift through them.
   Sorry to take up so much space, but I am desperate. Again, I only want 
a small account, for a few sigs and a mailbox for mail (no files or ftp 
or fancy extras). Please help!!

No, unix Waffle cost money ($120?).

If I ever get a second line to run a BBS at home, I'm going to use
Linux and a restricted shell.  DOS Waffle (which I run at work)
doesn't do anything that standard unix (linux) utilities and news &
mail don't.  Further, the news & mail readers available for unix are
vastly superior to Waffle.

Hey everbody, you just have to check out roboboard. Finally something
new in BBS-world (and I am not referring to the GUI but to the system
alltogether). We are planning to start a Roboboard-BBS in Belgium next week !!

It's not just a graphical BBS, it's much more... but that seems to be forgotten
in that silly discussion about GUI and proprietary graphic system. When something 
is good, it is due to become a standard !!! Don't forget that !

Seth, nice work, you'll be hearing from me when I register !!!

For NYC I would recommend these choices.

For a "major network" with Internet Access including FTP TelNet and email
join Delphi. $ 23.00 a month for 20 hours night and evening connect
time and five megs of FTP traffic.

Local choices I could recommend are these systems:

phantom.com - IRC, Finger, smtp email, Usenet news ( $ 15.00 monthly)

dorsai.com - email, Usenet news ( $ 25.00 yearly ) not a live site yet.

panix.com - same as phantom but has shell access and a new T1 link. 
($ 15-20 monthly with signup fees)

Phantom and Dorsai are about to undergo major changes and upgrades
in service. Send email to postmaster at any of these sites for 
more "official info".

Hope this helps,

If you have a 16550afn or similar chip on your i/o card (or possibly a 16450
with a large buffer on the card itself) then dos comm programs should work
for you just fine.  If not, try the OS/2 beta comm driver (comm2211) or SIO
(sio20 Is the latest I Think).  I'm using comm2211 because SIO didn't work
for me...I'll give it another shot with some new hardware, but we'llhave to
wait and see.  I use TELEMATE under OS/2 and Waffle as well, both of which
are DOS programs, and I am set to 38400 to the modem, and connect at 9600bps
all the time.  No problems.

The person above was probably talking about 16450 UART in the computer he saw
or heard that had the problem.

There's always a first:

First of all, thanks all the people on comp.bbs.misc who replied to
my previous Windows 3.1 BBS questions, you were all very helpful and
keep up the good work.

Second, I'm beginning to doubt my own ability to work with Windows,
and therefore I must be shot.

See, the problem is several people suggested software packages that I
could use.  So, I downloaded each and every one of them and gave them
a shot to see how they worked.

The programs that I tried were XBBS, Maximus, Wildcat, and Waffle.
All of these work great on my machine .. but only in standard mode!
Therefore, I can't multitask them.  They all hang the system when
I execute them in enhanced mode!  Typically, it looks as if they
hang whenever access is made to my modem -- at least, none of them
got any farther than that.

I've set up my 'enhanced mode' PIF to allow for 500K needed, 640K
requested, full screen, and can run in the background.

Beyond that, I've experimented with every option and nothing seems
to make a difference.  I even 'downgraded' to Windows 3.0 for awhile
to see if Maximus would run under that, and it didn't.

Anyway, I'm at the end of my rope and need some extra help with
this.  Please, no flames about Windows -- or suggestions about
OS/2 or Desqview.  I switch over when I've exausted the Windows
possibilities.  (And its not like I have a devotion to Microsoft,
either.)

Thanks alot,

Some UNIX kernels have the time slice duration as a tunable parameter.
Speak to the sysadmins of the BBSs concerned, rather than slagging-off

Check out SIO v0.20 on hobbes.nmsu.edu.  It currently supports virtual

say they are working on making it so you won't need to run a fossil driver

If you know of or run any BBS's with area code 916 and with internet 
mail capability, I'm interested in hearing from you. I'm especially
interested in any machines with modem that are local to Folsom, CA.
Thanks in advance for any information you can give me!

Does anyone know any info about jon@wilbur.uucp?  I tried emailing him, but
his mail bounced. About 6 months ago, he posted about his BBS, and listed the 
area code & first 3 digits of his 2 lines as: (310)434-XXXX and (310)987-XXXX. 
These are both local to me!  But he listed only the first 3 digits, saying to 
email him. However, when I did, it was returned!  Does anyone know the
complete BBS numbers, or a way I can get ahold of him? (Jonathon C. Broome)?  
I'd really like to find out about his system more.  As great as Homer is here 
(and they carry all the sigs I want too), it's just simply long distance, and 
I can't afford to call long distance much more to get usenet.  Please, can
anyone help?
   On a side note, if anyone knows of a local BBS to me that will carry some
usenet sigs, please let me know. I don't need ftp or shell accounts or
anything fancy, just a few sigs and a mailbox, that's it. It live in the
Huntington Beach area of California (Orange County, 714 area code). Santa Ana, 
Anaheim, Stanton, Costa Mesa, Seal Beach, SOUTHERN Long Beach, Westminster,
are all local, however, Orange and south Orange County are not. I can't afford 
anything like netcom anymore with a monthly fee. However, if there is a small 
yearly fee or something like this, I would be willing to pay it. Thanks very
very much in advance for your help!
