(was: Apple II BBS discussion) Message-ID: <1991Jun8.213200.18036@clark.edu> Date: 8 Jun 91 19:46:50 GMT Sender: usenet@clark.edu Organization: Proline network. Lines: 41 In-Reply-To: message from greg@hoss.unl.edu About handles.... Yes, the generic ProLine adduser text file recommends against using handles, when pro-hindugods was first set up it was not to be a networked BBS, so handles were permissable. At that time I, too, thought handles were "cool" so I made myself one. (not seriously thinking I was a genius) Now, if I could do it again I would probably call myself chris@pro-hindugods, but geniusman is all right for now. About system configurations... The board I was referring to ran on a stock GS with a Vulcan 40mg HD, and a CMS 40mg HD. No accelerator, and the messages are on the CMS. About ACOS and MACOS... There are two GBBS boards in the 313 area. I have not called either one yet, as they are zone calls from here. About pirate GBBS boards... I meant both GBBS illegal copies and GBBS's that distribute illegal software. About networking... A non-networked BBS would nearly defeat the purpose of having message base emphasis, however then these un-networked systems would have better file bases. This "battle" that has been going on should be between NETWORKED BBS's because no one has said ProLine is the best file bbs, but it has been said many time, and I agree, that ProLine has the best message base available for an Apple // today. An remember, we are comparing NETWORKED BBS's here, as they are the ones we use.
