If your friend is planning on usiong the 1000 for the BBS, then he had better have a hard drive on it or else it will never really work. My suggestion would be to use the A3000 for the BBS, and the 1000 for programs that will not mutitask. since the A3000 is equipted with the 68030, He would be able to run a full time BBS, while multitasking, and not have to worry about SLOW dragging programs. Also if you are using the A3000 for the BBS, you have the option to add a muti serial card, then you could (example) run a 6 port bbs full time, while havinf your OWN modem line, AND a full time UUCP line, where as on the 1000 you could only have 1 line. And for a BBS software choice, I would have to say to get C-Net. It IS the best.. -- Philip Sokolowski (__) Moooooo 31700 Lexington Hgts.
