Spider Island Software has announced that it will start shipping a utility with
which the TeleFinder BBS can be directly accessed via AppleTalk protocol by
networked TeleFinder/User client software.
TeleFinder Host runs under MultiFinder. We are operating it on a MacPlus and
have a six-platter CD-ROM changer attached to it. Our members love the ease of
use. The user application uses the same interface metaphor as the regular
Finder. To download a file, you simply drag it from the remote folder to your
local folder. Uploading works in the same fashion. You might not even need
SingleShare anymore if you use it for file exchange only and not for running
applications or opening documents remotely. TeleFinder also includes a
thread-based messaging system. And each user has a mail box for personal mail.

Spider Island's phone number is 714-669-9260.
