What is GHOST BBS ???
Did you ever really LOOK at the ProComm Plus for Windows Host mode, or
have you just used it for long enough to let a friend get a file from
you? If you've ever actually looked at it, you know why we wrote GHOST
BBS!!
It began as a simple modification of Host to eliminate some bugs, and
try to make it look a touch better. What it ended up as is a mini-BBS
for a "casual" user. It, of course, lacks some of the pizazz and oomph
of a full-fledged BBS, but for a small system (and for FREE! <GG>), it
isn't bad!
In the end, the scripts that we were working on were merely a "ghost" of
their former selves, and thus, the name.
GHOST BBS has been tested by using the following applications to log
in.....
Telix (DOS)
QModem (DOS)
QModem Pro (DOS)
ProComm Plus for DOS
Windows Terminal
CrossTalk for Windows
ProComm Plus for Windows
Windows Terminal experiences some slow down of screen draws, and can
show "junk" on screen (if GHOST is set for ANSI screens), due to it's
inability to correctly interpret the ANSI codes sent it by GHOST BBS.
All other applications tested worked perfectly with GHOST BBS.
