- On the subject of RoboBBS...well, I work in a sales and service
- computer shop and one of our salesmen runs a BBS, and just happens to be
- running RoboBBS. There's one other important feature that you need to
- know about besides the need for EGA/VGA...you also need to have a
- 16550 UART chip in your I/O card, or your connection won't be all that
- great, even if it's an MNP or V.xxbix connect. And the user front-end
- will squak if you don't have that 16550 UART.
-
- Now, on the other hand, if you have the VGA and the 16550 UART,
- it doesn't have too bad a thur-put even at 2400 baud. That itself,
- is impressive for the interface. If you've got a 9600 or 14.4k modem,
- you might think you're running something comparable to Windows. (No, I'm
- not kidding.)
-
- If you're interested in seeing what it looks like, and have the
- equipment; you can call up "The Goose's Nest" in Kansas City, MO at
- (816) 221-NEST and have a look at the interface. You will need to be
- able to download via ZModem to get the user front-end, though. (QModem
- should be able to do that.)
-
- Another think I'll add before I doddle off, RemoteAccess should be
- comming out with a similar product in a short while. I.E. a month or
- two. From what I understand, the maintanence is tough. If RA can do the
- same thing and cut the maintanence down...
-
- Well, anyway...if you check out the Goose's Nest, tell the SysOp
- that "Lionman" sent you. :->
-
- "Be well..."
