  Can any one point me out to an anon-ftp place where I can 
find the telegard 2.5 docs?  I'm trying to use/install Telegard 2.7
and it comes with no docs.  Instead it says to use the 2.5 docs.

  Where is Telegard 2.5?  or where are the Telegard 2.5 docs?


  any enlightenment would be most welcome.

  matter of fact, any enlightenment is encouraged. :-)

Where did you see this ? In order to run multi lines on the same machine with
RA, you have to run Desqview for the multi-tasker.

This is not true, multi-node RA requires a multitasker or a LAN.

Most operating systems use Digiboards.  Digiboard products are directly
supported by most variations of UNIX plus QNX, Theos, Pick, etc..

TBBS is nice, but it's so damn limited.  If your happy with a canned
product, then TBBS might be a good solution.  If you want the ultimate
in flexibility, then forget TBBS.

	TBBS works with digiboards or Galactiboxes(whatever those things
are that Galacticomm software uses).  Digiboards are the choice to get,
however, as they're cheaper and much better supported.  They come in
4, 8, and 16 port flavores, and basicly are extended I/O cards with 4/8/16
RS232 cables for external modems.  You can definetly get away with 2 external
DS on a "standard" I/O card, and might even be able to do well with a
digiboard and one internal modem. 

> The price ? please tell me, I know this is not a commercial newsgroup, but

	The price is $895 for the base TBBS 16 line system.  It also
comes in 2, 32, and 64 line flavors.

	Even better than in RA!  All of the above as well as nearly
every internal text string.

I wouldn't go that far -- you for example, can't put the time/date

It's someone flexible, yes -- but I wouldn't say "much"

And TBBS ML donsn't support the execution of real time applications in
DOS, but RA does.  TBBS hogs  your computer -- makeing unusable for
anything else while callers are on-line.

Choice or no choice, discrimination on the basis of height also exists.
It's well known, I think, that the taller candidate for president is more
likely to win; it may not be as widely known that there is a correlation 
between height and wages (tall=$$$).

Chetnie dowiedzialabym sie czegos wiecej na ten temat. Kongres ma sie odbyc

While the majority of Afrikaaners probably supported apartheid, this doesn't
make apartheid a part of Afrikaaner culture. Should Iraquis avoid using their
language so as not to offend Kurds? Perhaps Croats might be offended on
reading/hearing Serbian? Are you aware that a section of the oppressed majority
(the 'coloured' community) actually speaks Afrikaans?

If you've read their English postings, you'd see that most (or all) of the
Afrikaaners that post here do not support apartheid. Why should they abandon
their culture/language because of what other Afrikaaners have done? 

I haven`t noticed anyone else offended by the use of Afrikaans - most of the
comments were along the lines of `use a language we all understand, or at
least translate.'

Gee Tom, you've kindof put me into a catch-22 situation.  First you
advocate, no direct, me to post an RFD and further stipulate that ALL
discussion takes place on news.groups.  With that in mind, where was I
supposed to begin a discussion as to who would like to be a moderator?

Or maybe the interpretation of an RFD could be that it is just a 
proposal, subject to modification.  So it really doesn't matter
who originally gets nominated for moderator.

Which is it Tom?  In any case your point about my self-nomination for
moderator is moot.

Thank you.  I'm tired of people conveniently leaving out contexts for
their own benefit.  Let me quote you:
