#BBS, what type?
3 messages in this thread
I have what is probably an unaswerable quesion. How does one figure out what
kind of BBS one's accessing to see if THOR will work. The sysops of board don't
know & the tech support of software CO didn't know what I was talking BBS, QWK
BBS, HIPPO etc).
The BBS I'm accessing has MAC/IBM Windoz GUI software (FirstClass Server), but
I can get on with a term set to v100. It will be LD come June so I'd like a
fast OLR, or this just a dream <G>.

Gracia,
I am not sure what you are talking about. but I will give it a try. If you want
to know what type of package you are downloading you will need to check and see
with the BBS you are calling. Most of the BBSs I call are QWK and you will find
that option when you set up how you want to recive the forum mail.

Robert,
Unfortuntely this BBS uses a GUI MAC/IBM windoz interface. THEY don't know what
I'm ataking about & the software people don't know what I'm taking about, so
I'm in a bind.
The Sysop of the Popcorn BBS (a big CA commerical BBS) said "definitely not
QWK", but from the way he talks I don't think he knows much. It was like
pulling teeth to get the ASCII sign on from him <G>. They have a complete GUI
front end, I must be the only one who uses a term.
I guess I can take a chance & try QWK, but of course THOR has about 4 QWK
variations <G>.
