Thanks for that information! I'll have to take a look at E! also. Is Comports 8 a product? Or were you just saying you need 8 comports? Paul

Hi Dave, Thank you for your advice. It won't be easy choosing the software I want to use. Calling some of the BBS's might help as I'll get to see what they look like. Wow, 16 lines.. that's not bad 🙂 I was on a BBS yesterday that only had…

Thanks Rick for the upload. Convince your wife that the BBS would be supported by the users 🙂 Of course, if you're the only one within 200 miles, you'll be the only user, but you'll be supporting it! 🙂 I don't know how much a phone line is in your…

Hi Tom, Thanks for the info. $15 every 3 months isn't too bad! How long does it take a message to get from a BBS to an Internet address? I suppose it could take at the most 48hrs? Or is it even longer than that? I guess it depends how…

Thank you for your advice. I'll take a look at the demo of Excelsior. I know I have to start the BBS off small.. only one line, etc. But it would be nice to have something that attracted users. I have been thinking of setting up just a chat (CB…

Rick, Please, if you can, upload the version of Trapdoor that you have. I would be interested in taking a look at it. You say that you receive messages from Fidonet with your Amiga. What type of costs are involved? I remember Fidonet was free a way back when it…

Jim, Thank you for your information. I always believed the Amiga would be a good computer to use for a BBS because of it's multi-tasking abilities 🙂 Paul

Thanks for the advice! I never liked having the sysop cut in for a chat either, especially if they do it often. You get the impression that you have no privacy when writing a msg.

So many slots! I only have five in mine 🙂 and two of them are being used. How many serial ports can be on one card at a time? I heard only two, so I would be limited to six lines… of course, that is plenty for now 🙂 I…

Hi, Thanks for your information. I have the same questions for you: What do you think is the best BBS program available? What type of Serial cards are there? Do you know anything about the FidoNet? What makes a BBS to be considered good by the users? 🙂

What type of equipment do I need to get more than one serial port? Is the original serial port on the amiga OK for running a BBS? I suppose it is if I don't use the new V.34. What type of BBS programs are available? Is there anything that resembles…
