	Hello to all the netters out there in netland. Anyway to get serious
for a moment I need some help. I am not sure that a message of this nature 
belongs in this group but I think that some people from this group can offer
the type of help that I need.

	Anyway the question is this. I am trying to set up a BBS here for the
local amiga users. I have gotten both the TagBBS and the EliteBBS. But have 
had problems with both of them. I got the farthest with the TagBBS. For those 
of you that don't know what this is it is a BBS system that was written in '86
I think, it is simple but that is all that I am looking for. Anyway when people
try to login to my system they get the Connect 1200 message but then the BBS
never gives them a login prompt. No matter what they type nothing ever goes 
across back to them.

	Now the big question: Is there a dip switch that needs to be set a
certain way on the modem for the BBS to be able to answer and let them login?
Can Anyone offer any help at all?

	Thanks,
	Joshua
