- While this could be done with TBBS/TDBS, if you're not looking
- to spend a goodly amount of money (the base 2 line TBBS version is $300
- and 2 line TDBS with the program compiler is about $350), then you probably
- should look elsewhere. If you're a good DOS programmer, it seems that you
- could do your project via RA/QuickBBS or any other PD/Shareware BBS for
- that matter, and write your own external module with your favorite
- programming language. However, since you're posting in alt.bbs.unixbbs,
- it looks like you might wantto go a similar root with some unix bbs
- (don't have any experience in this field, so I can't be much help)
