MaxiHost v091590 by Don Mankin Registration $ 25.00
COMM OCT90 MAKIN MINIHOST MAXIHOST BBS HOST
FILES: mh091590.sdn
Update
The original purpose of MAXIHOST was to allow the consultant
or programmer to call his office from elsewhere and retrieve
programs he had forgotten to bring along. It was to be a
simple program with only a few features. But, as happens
with programs of this kind, I kept wondering what it would be
like if I did just changed this, added that . . . so it
grew into what you see: a powerful host program, or compact
BBS.

This program is written to run on an IBM PC (or PC clone)
with 256K RAM and PC-DOS 3.X or higher. It can be used with
floppies, but is written with a hard drive in mind. It needs
a Hayes (or compatible) modem, although information is
supplied below for use with certain alternatives. It should
be used at 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit to enable
Xmodem transfers, but will operate at 7 data bits, even
parity. A printer may be used to log calls.
