ONE BBSCON Atlanta, Georgia AUGUST 17 thru 21

       The ONLINE World once again meets this time in Atlanta, GA..
       The leading conference and tradeshow for bulletin board
       systems and other services recieved an audience of more than
       5,000 to last year's 3,000. This was the third such event in
       as many years, first one being held in Denver, Colorado and
       last years in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

       This years conference held over 150 sessions covering online
       business and technicial issues. Highlights of the 5 day event
       were the Ziff Davis Awards and the Dvoark Awards.

       From the tradeshow floor the highlight was the debute of a
       new Software package called "LANUS" by Lanus, Inc..
       Lanus is a Lan-based networking package whereby one connects
       one PC to another and share data/applications. A 10
       workstation package was offered to Sysops at an amazing price
       of $49.95. This price of $49.95 should put the computer world
       on it's ear and hopefully NOVELL, Inc & Lantastic are
       listening. This is DOS based only only takes from 10 to 30
       minutes to install. Of all the items offered on the showroom
       floor this is by far the BEST there was in my humble opinion.
       I even took it home myself to test it and now have 6 computers
       (PC's) linked together with a dedicated file-server. Hey FOLK's
       its GREAT!

       Back to the show itself, Dennis Hayes of Hayes Modems was the
       Keynote speaker. Just prior to Dennis Hayes address we were
       all presented by a laser light show put on by Phil Becker of
       Esoft & Boardwatch Magazine. From the opening excitement to
       it's conclusion one attending could only wonder of what would
       be better at next years show to be held in Tampa, Florida.

       If you haven't been then start saving your pennies, this is
       a must attend event for anyone using a modem.

       By the way if your interested in more information on LANUS
