assistant: Hello Bill
mate could you reproduce my problem with netmail routeing ??, i hope so, then
at least i know its not me.
anyway here is a request as i plan to add file dist to my system soon i would
like to see virus scaning for inbound tic files built in with definable error
levels so you can running anything you like with it, even testupload.cmd and
just do a crc check or thdpro to scan for viruses and do a crc check,
definable error levels ie: i would like something like this in the confing.
; Returned error levels by vuris scaner
GOODFILE        0
VIRUSINFECTFILE 1
FILEDCRCCHECK   2
So our rexx scrips can just exit with a error level for gatekpr to chatch and
don't forget to mention the ablity to add multi error levels line some virus
scaners will have GOODFILE 3 "For error level" and under other
curcumstances have "0" for a good file so can the GOODFILE work on multipile
lines and badfile etc.
and i know this might be asking a little much and i dont know if anyone would
use it but support for file conversion of tic files and gatekpr can update
the
.TIC file name before tossing into the filebase.
and one feature i know eveyone will like support for file_id.diz extraction
:) .
thats it for me but if anyone thinks these sugestions are silly speek up
now you'll save the coder a lot of hassle.
                            Regards,
                              < Jas >

assistant: Hello John!
There are several good native OS/2 BBS softwares.  Tell me what CNET
style is and I'll be able to answer this question better.
486/66 - P75 with 32 meg of RAM
Binkleyterm/2 v2.60 XE
Revised answer:  P100 with 32 meg of RAM - PP150 with 64 meg of RAM.
OS/2 will multitask better and with less of a system than just about
anything else you can run a BBS on but acceptable performance is very
subjective.  My daily operations are done on a PPro200 wit 64 meg of
RAM...I'm used to blazing speed; my recommendations reflect this.
Cheers,
Nicky

This is really a question that should be posted in OS2 but I would suggest
using the boot manager instead of dual boot. Boot Manager needs to be
installed on the C drive, OS/2 itself can be installed anywhere.

assistant: I've seen several messages from American sysop's saying BBBS's menus are
ugly. Why don't you supply Kim Heino/the BBBS fileecho with some alternate
menus? Then he'd might package those with the next release of BBBS. Please
remember that BBBS's menus are partly based on scandinavian bbs systems and
therefore might look strage/ugly/whatever to users from other areas.
