Hi Mike, > I understand that an amiga can call a ms dos based pc running a bbs, but > can the opposite work as well: Can I run a BBS on my A-2000, and have PC > call in? What about ANSI compatibility? Anyone out there care to commen Yes thankfully, in the world of Data Communications, all computers were created pretty much equal! Anyone with a PC will be able to dial into your Amiga and access whatever may be on offer on your BBS. (Whether you will choose to provide anything of interest to them is another matter altogether!) Oh, and don't worry about ANSI, it is by nature an international standard that is supported across platforms. there may be some small, niggling differences between what some people consider to be ANSI support, for example some may support flashing text, others may not, but yeah for an answer to your question, you have nothing to be concerned about. If the person at the other end of the phone decided to lie about what type of computer they were using, you would really have no way of telling the difference!
