They both have access to eachothers hard disks. Everything workes fine except that you can't have them sharing the same MSGS files. Otherwise in case of simultaneous writes, the file gets corrupted and you will lose any new news items. You also need different CALLERLOGs and CONFIG files. The menus, the up/download files, initmodem, userlog, and most other files can be shared by the two BBSs, so you only need to have one copy of them. Let me know if you come up with anything better.
