I meant to add to that last message:  if the users are connected by modem but
their processes are all running on one machine, then a serverless setup has no
trouble.  It's only if the processes themselves are distributed that you have
trouble with a non-server setup.

I've got a USRobotics Sportster v32" Fax, which also is a class 1 modem.
It seems that there is no class 1 fax software available for the Amiga
today, 
although there is atleast one in the pipeline (I believe it was GPfax which
will be released in a class 1 version).

     I have been having a problem with JR Comm for a while now.  Sometimes
I will leave the JR-Comm 1.02 window to do something else (view a pic I DL'd, 
move a file, open a shell) and when I come back to the screen the modem has
freaked.  I get things like  "~~ffxf~xf~fff" spit out at me.  I have tried
a few releases and I still get the same problem.  I am running under 2.0 but
this happened back under 1.2 also.  I usually only have WB 2.0 with a shell
and SID 2.0 running at the same time.  Any ideas?  Also, where is a font that 
will let me see ANSI characters?  I can get ANSI codes but the chars. are 
not the little blocks and triangles of IBMs.  Color works though.

Truthfully, I have no idea about code "ripped-off" by Ken in C-Net.
I have been using C-Net for a great deal of time now and love it.
If he ripped-off code, that's between him and the original author of
that code.

I've used the Excelsior Demo.  I believe that it fair to say you have
ripped-off C-Net in so much as "look-and-feel".  NOW DON'T START 
SCREAMING!  I have no problem with Excelsior.  It seemed to be a very
stable BBS, and I have no problem with "look-and-feel", I got rid of my
Apple computer largely because I detested the companies policies on such 
matters.

Truthfully, there have been so many modifications to C-Net lately,
significant ones, that someone is honestly writing code for it.
Additions and modifications were coming so quickly that there is a 
programmer (I don't know if its Ken or not, and don't care) working hard 
on making C-Net better.

I couldn't be more pleased with C-Net and with the service i've received.
Ken has listened to more than one of my suggestions and implemented
changes to accomodate them.

I think the debate between BBS software on the Amiga has become much like 
the mud-slinging of the political arena.  I have purchsed C-Net.  I am 
extremely happy with its functionality, with Ken's support, end of story.

I once did some hacking on a multiuser mainframe game, and this sort
of thing CAN be managed with no central server.  The game I worked on
did everything by cooperation between the users' separate processes,
by means of a division-of-labor which specified when a process could
make up its own mind about when something happens successfully, and
when it would have to take some other process's word for something
having happened.  For example, in this game, when you shoot at
someone else's spaceship your own process decides whether it was a
hit or not, and the other guy's process just gets the news "You've
been hit (x) hard."  By being careful about who has responsibility
for what, you can eliminate the need for a server.
 
The core of this game was a big chunk of shared data accessable to
all the processes, protected by a semaphore, so all the processes
were tightly coupled through a shared picture of the world.  That
would be difficult to manage through a modem.  I don't know how
difficult it would have been to do that game with messages, since the
machine in question didn't have decent messaging anyways.

The division-of-labor principle would apply more strongly when messages are
used, I think.  It would be, like, whoever decides first that he can move into
a given square would send out messages telling everybody else they can't. 
Except in that particular case you'd need some kind of way to lock out
overlapping moves.  One player on a slow data link would slow EVERYONE down if
he had to acknowledge every attempt to get such a lock, which might be required
if the thing was really decentralized.

>I am wondering if anyone can tell me if there are other term programs out

I have written a term program that uses pre-scrolling to speed up displays.  
It is a "2.0 only" program and will be available sometime near the end of 
september.  I got the idea from VLT, and improved upon it.  My terminal 
supports Full Ansi while using pre-scroll. (some animations may confuse it.)
It supports up to a full screen of pre-scroll and uses the Amiga OS 
console.device to boot.  (This means as the system gets better so does the 
term program.)  Some other things it supports:
  o Full clipboard support (cut and paste, in term window or chat window)
  o A rich set of Rexx commands (still growing) for custom setup or 
    login scripts... whatever you want really.
  o Xpr's Fully supported.  The term will scan Libs: and stick all xpr's 
    found in a sub-menu, making it easy to pick.
  o Asyncronous. EVREYTHING is asyncronous, settings windows requesters
    (uses standard ASL, again for future enhanement support). And information
    requesters.  You can have as many open as you want, while typing in the 
    terminal window.
  o Very font compliant.  Will support any font for windows and screen. and
    any fixed-width for the actual terminal display. (they are selectable
    seperately from the settings windows.)
 
  o FAST, fast, fast.  no term yet has out-done mine in speed trials.

I was keeping this in-house only, but it seems that it will probably be 
packaged with a new BBS coming out soon, Excelsior BBS, which seems to be very 
powerfull and kinda fits in with my term (or the other way around, whichever)
