PowerBBS Presents The Ultimate Windows BBS: PowerBBS for Windows v3.5
Featuring FAX/DATA detection, Telnet, PowerBase (database front end),
MAPI gateway, Internal ZIP compression!
Hicksville, NY - July 24, 1994 - In continuing its commitment
as the premiere BBS program for Windows, PowerBBS announces the
release of version 3.5 for Windows featuring internal PKZIP (tm)
v2.04 support, satellite message receptions via Planet Connect,
Microsoft Mail (MAPI) gateway, new internal communications and
protocols, FAX in/out of the BBS on a single line, PowerBase/Order,
and creation of proprietary database entry screens for PowerBBS/Base,
and Telnet In and Telnet capabilities.
PowerBBS now has the ability to determine whether an incoming
call is either a fax or data call. If it is a fax call, PowerBBS
will actually receive the fax! For data calls the user may enter
the BBS. Using this technology makes it easy to add data
reception support to your dedicated fax line! Sysoops can set up their
BBS to provide a fax on demand service to send faxes to their callers and
even allow callers to type a fax to be sent to any number they desire.
A Gateway to any MAPI compliant E-Mail package makes it possible
to easily integrate the remote powers of PowerBBS locally with
virtual any local or wide area network. It is possible to provide
Internet mail capabilities and allow remote access to your network
E-mail package.
PowerBBS now internally creates PKZIP v2.04 compatible .QWK
mail packets. .REP packets are also extracted internally. File
viewing and extraction of .ZIP files are now done by PowerBBS.
PowerBBS allows you to import newsgroups straight into
your BBS via Planet Connect Satellite System. Serious sysops that
wants to supply users with maximum amounts of Internet News Groups
should strongly consider using a service such as Planet Connect.
PowerBBS/Base is a powerful on-line DBMS add-on for PowerBBS that
allows the accessing of database files. 100% compatible with dBASE
III, dBASE IV, Clipper, FoxBASE, FoxPro, dBXL, Alpha IV, Quicksilver,
and compatible xBASE DBMS products. Database files may either be
created with these packages or can be created by PowerBBS/Base. Full
network and multi-user compatible database access support.
Add/View/Edit/Search/Delete records on-line. Create own visual
database display srcreens. PowerBBS/OrderBase allows the creation
of an on-line ordering DataBase allowing customers to mark items for
ordering and place the order on-line. PowerBBS/Base may be
integrated with PowerLang to create a sophisticated on-line database
system.
All communications, including file transfers, are handled directly by
PowerBBS. No FOSSIL or DOS transfer protocols required. Run up to nine
nodes reliably on one PC.
Customization is an important feature for BBS Operators. No other
BBS provides the total flexibility that PowerBBS for Windows v3.5
provides through customizable menu options, editable ANSI/ASCII/RIP
screens, Internet Email & Newsgroup support and it's advanced PowerLANG
scripting language. PowerBBS 3.5 also provides a Software Developers Kit

features to PowerBBS via a DLL.

running a BBS under Windows for both commercial and private enterprises
alike. Running PBBS in Windows allows a user to easily and
simultaneously run a BBS in the background while continuing to make
full use of their computer investment for other needs. As the first
BBS program written for Windows, PowerBBS continues to progress and
will always be up to date with the latest advancements in the
telecommunications industry.
