- I've got a quick question here and I am sure that someone out
-
- there will be able to give me an answer..
-
-
-
- I am running a Spitfire Bulletin board and would like to make
-
- available to my callers some service like USA Today or NYSE. I
-
- will be running OS\2 in about a week on a 386DX-40MHz with 8 Meg
-
- Ram. What I have heard about getting either of those services is
-
- that you must get a leased line and you also need to have a
-
- a data ingestion program running in the background all the time
-
- importing the information into the bulletin board. If anyone can
-
- shed some light on the situation I would appreciate it! I would
-
- also like to know..
-
- 1) How to get ahold of USA Today or NYSE staff who are in charge
-
- of the services.
-
- 2) Approximately how much will this run me in $ a month?
-
- 3) Is there a program out there that will feed the data into a
-
- Spitfire BBS or will I have to have a conversion program made?
-
-
-
- Appreciate it!
