- RE: Unix User BBS
- Currently UNIX USER is running 2400 baud MNP/V.42 modems. I hope
- to expand to suppport V.32 in the near future. Unfortunately,
- we're starting to believe we're going to have to charge for
- BBS access as things expand (particularly since we'd like to go
- to multiple lines). This will probably be on the order of
- $20 /year flat fee.
-
-
- Our BBS also provides Internet mail and USENET news (a limited
- number of groups, including comp.os.linux)
-
-
- Call in and give us a try. We're in the process of putting up
- MCC 0.97p2 Linux. Some of it is there, the rest will be by the weekend.
