assistant: I do now, I've tried Concord today, Pretty neat interface, and it have some
good functions, but those I miss is easy to make in the bbs system I use.. ;)
Yep.. Now I've tried it and it's one of the best systems so far, well, the
interface were nice, on the sysopside it had alot of nice functions etc.
I've never heard that.. :) but I think I don't belive those who said that
Concord were nothing.. But I wouldn't have runned it thought, the bbs system
I use is far more powerfull, thougth it miss some of things concord have, but
concord miss *alot* of things that the system I run have..
I'm testing the dos version, Haven't got Inet axx so I spended $15 on

I do only run doors programmed in the programming language that the bbs
system I use uses, or dos doors, Because I haven't found good enough Os2
doors..
But this is some ideas for Online dos doors :
        - Legend of the Red dragon (LORD) - The most used door on my board!
        - Barren Realms (Bre) - Real good trade/war game..
        - Falcons Eye - Fantasy version of Bre, but quite different! I Run
both
        - Arrow Bridge - Ultima Underworld style, but 2d.. :)

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi!
I'm about ready to switch to AdeptXBBS 1.08a26. Ex ept for two problems
1) Adept won't let go of the port on FAXes. The "-" as the fourth parameter
in CONFIG.SYS at the SIO.SYS line doesn't help. BGFAX returns error 123 on
open port. And SOMEONE *HAS* to have gotten FAX to work, right?
2) GateKeeper keeps aborting. When I download a Zipen packet of FidoMail, on
let's say 2-30 hundred Ks. Then I run GateKeeper from the mailer menu and it
tosses in a few messages, mayby 10 to 100, then it aborts. And I have tor un
it again. So on a 200 Kbs ZIP of echomail, I have to run GateKeeper maybe
2-10 times. BUt I can't do that when I actually switch to Adept, then
GateKeeper will run automaticly...
And thne there is one more problem. Not that major though...
3) I can't reply toi echos in the Netmail area" I've tried AdeptMail, not
possible there either, and I've tried GoldEd but it fucked up my messagebase
and caused a LOT of problems. Had to remove about 1000 unread messages. Now,
is there ANY way to reply to echos in the netmail area in Adept? OR is there
ANY messageeditor for Adept that does that?
Thank you very much!

assistant: Hi Peter!
parameter
FAX works fine here usng BGFAX and my USR V.Everything modem.  Did you use
the
FAQ that comes with the Adept archive?  There is also a reference in the
BGFAX
archive to help you.
Don't know what to say about this, it doesn't happen here.  Perhaps someone
else can help.
I don't understand replying to echomail in the netmail area?  I only use the
netmail area to reply to netmail messages.  Why don't you reply to echomail
messages in the appropriate echo conference?

assistant: It has an excellent script language built in.  I haven't done much with it,
but I have done a couple of things that have made my life easier.  I have a
script that forces users to the call back verifier everytime they log on
until they use it.  I also do some other fairly simple things like show
random ansi screens and such.  It is far more powerful than I have time to
learn.  Another nice feature is that you can program your ANSI menus to be
able to let the user use his arrow keys to move the highlight bar from
selection to selection.
Mistake.  It's rock solid.  The problems I experienced lately were my own!
When I reinstalled Connect I forgot to load VX00.sys and the board would lock
up after someone tried to write a message.  Figured that out and it's running
fine again.  It also runs very fast and uses minimal system resources.
