Last time I checked (which WAS a while ago), none of the Windows ones were
compatible with each other either.  There are three or four of this type now
for OS/2, including Person-2-Person, which was bundled with Warp 3.  BTW, I
once helped futurist Frank Ogden aka Dr. Tomorrow do a demo of Internet Phone
for a regular spot he does on the Discovery Channel.  We ran it in a seamless
Win-OS/2 window on an OS/2 desktop... of course, sporting a big, obvious OS/2
logo as the background.

I'm running an OS/2-native two-line bbs using Bink/Squish/Max, and would like
to set up one of my lines to handle voicemail and faxback services.
Currently, I have both lines set up to autodetect and pass FAX calls to
BGFAX/2.  I'm hoping I can keep what I have but also incorporate voice
without having to install an additional phone line.
I would like to know the following:
Recommended external data/fax/voice modems?
Recommended voicemail/faxback software (preferably OS/2-native)?
How to integrate it into my present setup?
Any advice will be appreciated.
Best,
Michael McBroom

Thanks for the info..  I'm starting to get the hang of how the board runs..
Gota look thru the doc's a bit tho..  I tried having FrontDoor poll Adept but
only got 'undialable node' on FD's end..  Something burp'd, & I dont remember
specifying anything for the nodelist..
Funny thing..  I never used telnet in over a year..  I decided to try when I
got a 3 page list of sites..  Out of 5 sites that responded, 3 were Adept..
I azzume Adept handles multiple nodelists??
May try the IRC one of these dayz..  :}

We have a few older dos door games that
require the com port to be locked at
38400, so we keep our system locked at 38400.
We use SIO, and then use SU 1 LOCK 0 to
unlock com port 1 and SU 1 LOCK 38400 to
lock com port 1 at 38400. For example, in
the batch file before polling an ISP,
one could unlock the com port to allow
their IAK to use a higher rate for X2,
then re-lock before starting up Bink/Max again.
If the modem and port are not at the same speed you
get a lot of garble,  for lack of a better word.

does it this time too, I'm gonna go mad at something.... somebody....

Modifications, addition/deletions are accomplished quickly and config files
IMHO are a lower standard of programming from an administative standpoint.

rather than menu-driven, how practical & efficient would that be?  I consider
the mailer/tosser to be a integral part of my BBS and thus it MUST be
efficient in its administration.
