I would like to add a FAX door to my BBS....  The program would have to send
the FAX out AFTER the caller logged off (only one line).  If you have run one
or several could you tell me your experiences with each. 

Also I would rather get it by FTP or Fidonet FREQ.  Thanks for any help you
can give me.

   I've got a question that is so unusual (for me) that I don't even know which  
newsgroup is appropriate for a request for information on where to go to ask  
for an answer.  Boy, that got convoluted.  Anyway, where would I post a request  
for information on public-access UNIX, specifically for access to News, in the  
Vancouver, BC area?  Something similar to netcom or The Well, but available as  
a *local* modem dialup in Vancouver.

   Please *email* responses.

Right now, that appears to be the case although that will be
changing.  The author of WinQwk, for example, is adding Blue Wave
support into his Windows reader.  George Hatchew, author of Blue
Wave, has stated that he will release his format once he gets
some minor changes into it.  Also, he does have to support Blue
Wave door on a few different BBS softwares and the reader, which
just had a new version out (2.12).

  Not sure if it is the DOS or OS/2 version he wants, but the DOS version can
be obtained via FTP at the internet site m.ehd.hwc.ca (142.4.8.13).  Login
anonymous, send ident as password.  The files MSQ2_1.ZIP or MSQ21a.ZIP are
found in the directory /pub/msdos/fido.  I would suggest him getting MSQ2_1
since MSQ21a has been known to be a bit buggy (I myself use MSQ2_1).
  If you don't have anonymous FTP access, there are many FIDO sites that you
can FREQ from.  Unfortunately, I don't have any addresses handy :(.  If you
wish, I could ask (via the fidonet TUB echo) of fidonet sites to get MSQ from.
  I hope this helps.

Someone told me that source code for Maximus 2.0 wasn't being
distributed the way that earlier versions were.  Note, however, that I
haven't tried to contact the author or check this out for myself.  It
is, however, still free for non-commercial use.

I'd be interested, as well.  I have a modem that the Maximus front end
won't work with (it's just slightly non-standard in what it returns)
and I'd like to fix that (until I buy another high-speed modem).  As I
said, someone told me that source was no longer freely available, but
I haven't made any concerted effort to get it yet.

	On the subject of RoboBBS...well, I work in a sales and service
computer shop and one of our salesmen runs a BBS, and just happens to be
running RoboBBS.  There's one other important feature that you need to
know about besides the need for EGA/VGA...you also need to have a
16550 UART chip in your I/O card, or your connection won't be all that
great, even if it's an MNP or V.xxbix connect.  And the user front-end
will squak if you don't have that 16550 UART.

	Now, on the other hand, if you have the VGA and the 16550 UART,
it doesn't have too bad a thur-put even at 2400 baud.  That itself,
is impressive for the interface.  If you've got a 9600 or 14.4k modem,
you might think you're running something comparable to Windows. (No, I'm
not kidding.)

	If you're interested in seeing what it looks like, and have the
equipment; you can call up "The Goose's Nest" in Kansas City, MO at
(816) 221-NEST and have a look at the interface.  You will need to be
able to download via ZModem to get the user front-end, though.  (QModem
should be able to do that.)

	Another think I'll add before I doddle off, RemoteAccess should be
comming out with a similar product in a short while.  I.E. a month or
two.  From what I understand, the maintanence is tough.  If RA can do the
same thing and cut the maintanence down...

	Well, anyway...if you check out the Goose's Nest, tell the SysOp
that "Lionman" sent you. :->

Question: Does WildCat still have that horrable message base system? I
was on "the" wildcat board for this area a while back. (It was the test drive
version BTW) And if there were replys to a message, you HAD TO read all
the messages in that thread before going to the next message. If there
were 20 some replys to a message about cross stiching, you were stuck reading
those things! I though Wild Cat was well done and I've always heard they
were well supported but the message base gave me the shivers!

OS/2 v2.x is an excellent platform for what Kevin is trying to do. There is an
OS/2 version of Maximus that does the job very well.
 
You would need at least 6 megs with OS/2 v2.0.......though the upcoming V2.1
runs better in less memory. I have the beta for OS/2 2.1 running pretty well
on a 386DX/25 with 4 meg of RAM on a PC at work. 
 
There are several BBS's here in Wellington running Maximus on OS/2. The nice
part about is the vastly superior multi-tasking of OS/2 over Windows. This
shows especially when dealing with modems and comms programs. DOS comms run OK
under OS/2 but native OS/2 programs are definitly superior to anything around
for smooth multi-tasking - like Maximus for OS/2.

I see Usenet as a minimally self-regulated anarchy.  Every user _can_ do
anything (If they know how.)  But there is a set of social norms that
constricts them.  They do not want to be punished (by flames, mail-spamming,
ridicule or, worst of all, being ignored) so they tend to do the Right Thing.
There are discussions held on what to do (create a newsgroup, how to use
expiry dates, proper subject labelling etc.), but the decisions are only
recommendations - they are not mandatory.  Some of these decisions are
more rigidly adhered to than other decisions.  In the extreme, there is a
sanctioned way to ignore the decisions (do it in the alt.* hierarchy),
or one can go ahead and do it anyway - eg. forge newgroup messages and so
forth.  The latter course is generally unsuccessful because other people
use the same techniques to undo whatever you do.

	The integrity of the net is protected by equality (everyone is able
to stuff things up as well as everyone else), openess (most things can,
with effort, be traced) and a lack of central control (it is close to 
impossible to hijack the net.  Reminds me of "0-power" groups in Illuminati
[tm Steve Jacson Games] :-).

	Enforce your freedoms!  Vote for anarchy today! ;-)

Is the RoboBoard graphical user-interface program available
anywhere via ftp ?  If so, what filename should I search for
using ARCHIE ?


Thanks,
Rich Michaels

On a related note:

hasn't anyone come up with a (ms) windows-based windowing
protocol yet? so that we could run bbs's with windowing
interfaces?

I've seen America Online's nifty GEOS front-end, as well 
as some X-windows front ends, but nothing for windows.


do we have to do it ourselves?

best,
dk
