Write your reply.

assistant: Hello Nicky,
"Actual" version is a Spanish 1.10 gamma 7 of October, 1996. There is a basic
English documentation for version 1.10 (MDOORDOC.ZIP, 29 kB). The mailer can
be adapted from Spanish to other languages almost entirely (ASCII language
files). English and German language files (MDGER.ZIP, MDENGL.ZIP, 20 kB each)
are in my filebase.
Rumours said that there was a gamma 8 running at the author's system, but
nevertheless several Maindoor sysops gave up waiting for a new release and
switched to Binkley.
I'm running Maindoor/2 (and Maindoor/DOS in a DOS box) for 18 months now on a
V.34 and an ISDN line. The gamma 7 OS/2 works stable, existing bugs can be
circumvented. I'm maintaining a German FAQ for this ("Bug-Umschiffungs-FAQ",
magic MDBUGFAQ, 8 kB), where I put together some MAINDOOR.GER tips and hints
to bypass known bugs.
A couple of weeks ago a sysop found out that it seems Maindoor will not
survive the year 1999. :-) In 2000 Maindoor will not accept the registration
keyfile anymore.

assistant: or
One 33.6 handles all 6 of my inbound/outbound telnet connections, yu'd be
surprised at the bandwidth a single 33.6 connection can provide, specially if
u consider telnets are interactive, ie no huge files transfers taking place,
if a telnetter decides to download a file over his telnet connection, then it
slows a bit but not all that much, you see adept also allows me to offer
*OUTBOUND* telnets, ftp, irc, www (text) and gopher to my dialup users, I'm
providing a mini-isp services to my users (and they love it), all done with
adeptxbbs and rexx scripts.. u can even offer pure ppp connects to yur users
(via another rexx script, but this requires fixed ip #'s which i don't have)
Configurable ??? Adeptx has to be the single most configurable bbs ever to
hit
the bbs world, telnet to my board for an idea of what an adeptx board can
look
like, bearing in mind that virtually everything u see from a users side can
be
customized... if u like making your board look unique, well adeptx and u will
get along very well together (Love that building a mystery tune by Sarah M)

I have tried to get them to support seperate mailers but the support was
pulled, as for seperate tosser if your using Squish you would need a seperate
tosser, and for Allfix that is upto Harald Harms.
VA hehehehehe... what a JOKE :)
There is BBBS/2 but I don't think you will like it since it also has a mailer
and tosser that you have to use and isn't supported by anything at this time,
it's also exspensive and IMHO Ugly.
QuickBBS is being ported to OS/2, but I am unsure of the release time.

I've been asking for over 5 years.
Allfix Gamma 5.00.20 sort of killed two of my upstream systems feeds last
week.  One is back on line after almost a week, the others still down.
Seems some one (I think) finaly confirmed what I reported over a month ago.
Gamma 5 Allfix/2 can kill a DOS session.  So one using a differnt DOS
application reported the same when posting an arival message.  I configured
to post three copiues to three different Zone echos.  I didn't narrow it down
to just what caused the DOS session to abort.
