Grape.ecs.clarkson.edu is a Zenith Z-248 running MS-DOS.  We use a
modified version of KA9Q's TCP/IP NET that allows you to shell out to
COMMAND.COM while still processing packets.  Grape is attached to the
Internet using a NI6510 Ethernet card donated by Racal Interlan for
that purpose.  After shelling to DOS, we run an Opus BBS.  The
particulars:

Almost all files are stored in .ZIP format.  A .ZIP file contains a group
of files that have been compressed to save space.  You need an unzipper
