- We've found that the boards from Boca Research are relatively
- inexpensive... if your software supports them (I've heard of
- some compatibility issues). You might want to check them out.
-
- They're conveniently on the web, so you can check out their
- current line and price list.
- URL - http://www.boca.org/
-
- They even have a nice case with a backplane like the old
- Galacticom boxes.
-
- Just watch out for their "sysop program". You might get
- excited about the great prices... but Boca won't "approve"
- your board for the program if it contains any adult-oriented
- material (including newsgroups, public message bases, or files).
-
- BTW - Digi's also on the web, so you can compare...
- URL - http://www.digiboard.com/
-
- We've found the quality of Digi's boards to be outstanding,
- and compatable with just about anything.
- I guess it goes to show you get what you pay for.
