Hi Glenn, I am presently running a Dialog Professional BBS system and I really love the software. It's very easy to use from a sysop's stand point (much easier from what I hear than Paragon). Some one else left you a message saying the Skyline was a close second to Paragon for Fido capability. Hmm… I wasn't aware that Skyline sysop's presently had the ability to do Fido. At any rate, Dialog does and also supports UseNet/UUCP. These are not the easiest things to set up, but it is being done by many Dialog sysops. Dialog is multi-user allowing up to 36 users online at the same time and up to 65,000 users on the system. It does allow online chat sessions between users, but I think Paragon's chat feature is better implemented at this time. Dialog is based on an operating system approach. There is only a handler in memory at all times and this greatly reduces memory requirements. The average memory requirements for each port (modem line) is 50-100k. That makes it a good candidate for running on an unexpanded 500 or 1000. (Here comes the plug!) You can see it in action by calling: COLE PLACE MUSIC BOARD (714) 827-3265 Regards, Allen
