assistant: I posted this one a VERY long time ago...it's surprising to see this one come
back.  Problem is Cirrus Logic 5428 video card -- using the "non factory"
type drivers (read in accelerated) kills it.  If you reinstall the drivers
from the OS/2 Warp CD/Disks then all is well.  It fixed my problem (and
they're actually better drivers than the newer ones I was using)

assistant: Hello All.
I run Binkley into an OS/2 (Warp) window. Is there a screensaver wich
switches back to the desktop in case of incoming calls to the BBS (or other
BBS's task activities)?
The only solution seems to be running Binkley into a Full screen session, so
that one can use the Screenblank capability of Binley, but I'd like to run it
in a window.
Ciao!

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello Ariel,
If you are using OS/2, binkley gives the port HANDLE (NOT the port number) to
to spawned BBS.
The BBS software must be able to use this handle.
Or you have a wrong SpawnBBS.Cmd (see docs of Binkley and your BBS for
parameter sequence).
BTW: there is an intl conference BINKLEY for Binkley topics.

Write your reply.

assistant: That almost completely depends on the BBS software, most softwares
nowdays can handle accessing different disk in the same changer, I run 3
lines here with PC Board and this occurs all the time, I average about
1.3 files per call downloaded with 16 CD's online. 2- Mountain 7 disk
changers, 2 Sony IDE single drives.
 PC Board puts all download request in a Que, then grabs them in the
most efficient manner it can. There are some pauses, but nothing my
callers get upset about at all. The trick is to not open a DOS or OS/2
window to access the drives if someone is online flagging files, use the
BBS to get your files if you need them while someone is online. It will
save the lock-ups.
 Hope this helps,
