Well, I sometimes get to talk to the AEC class, so perhaps then. As for the starting a BBS you should investigate the IBM Communications Forum. (GO IBMCOM) I think they have a section set aside just for the purpose. Good luck with your BBS, also there is a list of them in DL9. Jamie

Robert, I have just switched to the ATO software for interfacing with CIS forums. It is an easy to use program that really does make life here alot easier. If you GO IBMNEW you'll find help and access to the ATO program. Good Luck, Dennis

HI, I'm doing what your asking about here in San Diego,CA and have a couple of suggestions if you don't mind. The best software I'v found for a bbs is either Collie(old but very simple to use for both the sysop and the user) Wildcat ( newer and a little complex for sysop but again easy for end users) both are share ware and can be found in the IBM com area here on CIS. Also get a complete Procomm setup from same place and give it away to your users. If you want to either EasyPlex me, call me at LightSpeed Corp. (619)697-2210 or leave a message on our BBS (619) 697-9840 (300/1200/2400) Corky Deeds LightSpeed Corp.

Robert, We here in Orlando have a nice AutoCAD BBS that doesn't get used enough. You can contact the SYSOP, Mark Starr, at (305) 682 4430. After about 5:30 or 6 PM, that number becomes the BBS and you can reach him that way also. I'm sure he'd be glad to pass on do's and don'ts, hints, etc.
