- Well, the topic pretty much says it all. I am looking for a 128 mode bbs, that
- will handle the older 9060 and 9090 hard drives, as well as two sfd (1 meg)
- drives. Also, the BBS MUST be able to operate at 2400 baud, and have a minimum
- of 10 file transfer 'directories', as well as 10+ Message bases. I have not
- been able to find a C-net 128 BBS operating anywhere, and therefore, I cannot
- look at one remotely. Can someone please leave me some info about this BBS, or
- the author's name (If he's on GEnie), or his support center BBS? Any and all
- help is greatly appreciated.

- I ran a C-Net BBS under the latest release of the 128 version (I forget the
- number.). I finally ended-up dropping back to the older one.

- We ran into the same problem with the C64 C-Net. Had so many problems with
- the newer version (the then-new 12.0) that we dropped back to 11.1a. Our
- attitude is to wait for a new version to get burnt and debugged during actual
- use *on someone else's BBS* before upgrading... <grin>

- Here's a C-net 128 BBS number if you are interested: Mule Lip BBS 219-736-

- The operator of Mule Lip has been running C-net for some time and might be
- helpful answering your questions.

- Not a C-Net sysop myself, but our club runs a BBS with C-net 11.1a and a Lt.
- Kernal hard drive. We've thought about upgrading to version 12.00 but have
- heard it has quite a few bugs. Any other opinions? One problem we have with
- 11.1a is that Xmodem transfers time out every 12th Xmodem block for Amiga
- users. On some term programs the handshaking never recovers, and the transfer
- eventually dies. A real pain, and the AMiga people in the club ain't too
- thrilled about not being able to make use of the BBS for downloading.
-
- Anyone out there had any luck getting any version of C-Net to work with
- Amiga X-Modem transfers?

- I, too, would love to see more c-net p-files uploaded here. I HATE! Q-Link,
- but that was the only place I could ever get any new stuff. I have found a
- board in Philly, accessable through PCP at 415-551-7295 (name escapes me) that
- has WONDERFUL p-files available. As for how many C-net sysops you have here,
- the number could well be intto the hundreds, but the question is, how many of
- them stray into the dungeons, a.k.a. these subs? I try to support C-net
- sysops with a c-net mods and p-file area, and put my newly acquired p-files
- there for all interested. The Dark Crystal 303-322-2589, PCPable...

- Our user group is running C-Net 11.1a and have two major problems: Xmodem
- does not work reliably, due to the 12 block sends. And we have a Supra 2400
- baud modem, which C-Net does like (seems to have something to do with carrier
- detect ... we've gotten it to answer the phone, but it hangs up immediately).
-
- Are there any 12.0 users out there who can verify that Xmodem works proper;y
- (specifically for AMiga users), and that the Supra 2400 works with it? At
- this point, we don't *have* top run at 2400 baud .... we just want to be able
- to use the modem at 300/1200.
-
- Julie Rhodes informs me that version 12.1 is due Real Soon Now. Anyone have
- an idea when? And finally, is 12.0 ant more solid than 11.1a?
-
- Thanks,
-
- Dave
-
- P.S. to Color 64 users. Can you answer the same questions? Especially
- about the Supra 2400?

-
- as for Color 64 - yes - yes - yes - yes - <<grin>>
-
- Color 64 can run at 2400 baud - no problems - and have many Supra owners. As
- for Xmodem, it works great with all kinds of computers. I just finished a CRC
- version too - great for LARGE Amiga files.
-
- Color 64 is nothing like C-net in its operations - so please read my Color 64
- information file (in our downloads here) before you make a decision whether to
- convert. If you like the way Color 64 works (most persons do), then I can
- assure you that all your current complaints that you listed in the previous
- message will be eleminated by switching to my BBS software.

- Thanks, Greg. I still have the number of your BBS around here, and will give
- it a call soon. SOunds like, if nothing else, it would solve our Xmodem and
- Supra problems. As I'm sure you can understand, we've been bitten almost
- every time we've changed BBS software, so are getting pretty wary about doing
- so again. It seems that some problems get solved, but others just pop up.

- I'm a C-NET v12.0 Sysop... not sure I should broadcast it though. Reliable
- support is non-existant, notice all the replies to the cries for help here?
- Sheesh! a couple pleas for help and no answers from anyone. It seems to run in
- the C-NET family... I've been fortunate to find some help from a few other
- sysops, but its quite difficult to get through to those few systems that are
- willing to help. I would have thought that GEnie would be a great place to
- look for help... or offer help.

- Well, I got a letter from the C-Net folks today. Seems the guy who wrote C-
- Net 12.0 and was two months behind schedule on releasing 12.1 has decided to
- leave the company. Seems he's also going to attempt do some mods to 12.1 and
- sell it as his own product. The C-Net gang says thet are looking into the
- legal aspects. They then proceed to apologize for the "devistating" blow to C-
- Net PR, especially to those with upgrade orders.
-
- Then they inform us that the guy who wrote version 11.1a two years ago had
- been working on his own enhancement in the background and has agreed to let
- them market it as of September 1st. It will be called C-Net DSII and will
- allow huge program overlays and even swamping of the main file (CN) while the
- program is runnung. More MCI commands, enhanced editor, and other changes.
-
- No word on 2400 baud support or whether Xmodem has been fixed.

- C-Net has been through a couple of marketers over the past year, so I'm not
- 100% sure on this. I think the current address is:
-
- Perspective Software
- 1716 Walnut Ridge
- Canton Twp., MI 48187
-
- The author (Ken Pletzer) runs the Future World BBS at (313) 981-6150.
-
- This is from the C-Net 11.0 manual. Since that time Prestige International
- took over marketing for a while, did a horrible job, and had their marketing
- rights revoked. Ken took over the job himself again through his Perspective
- Software company. I *think* the address is the same as was in the original
- manual.
-
- Our user groups runs C-Net 11.0 and after our share of troubles we've got it
- working well. Our sysop rewrote the upload/download area to allow for
- unlimited number of files per library, which overcame a major limitation. He
- also added a sub-op preview area, which fixed the problem of user uploads
- going live before they could be tested.
