I use UNaXcess (the most current net release - 1.00.02) on my clone running
Microport V/AT.  I have had this successfully operational for more than a year
now and it is about rock-solid as you can get - kudos to Brandon Allberry
(allberry@ncoast.UUCP) for this truly clever system.  It is a full-security
bbs with message conferences by named topic - users can create new conferences
for new topics on demand.  On-line registration of accounts and passwords.
Different access levels for privileged users to 'fairwitness' conferences
if the system grows sufficiently.  File uplink/downlink using channels for
XMODEM protocols (a separate program to do the protocol - many PD versions
of that is available) KERMIT, and simple ASCII downlink of text-only files
for text capture (like the well-written introduction to UNaXcess which all
such systems have, obviously).  The file up/down-links are also organized
by named subject category.

For a sample of what this is about call (415) 582-7691 2400/1200 for an
overview of a public-access system with UNaXcess is like.  I am told that
Hayward is reachable by PC-Pursuit if you have that and you do not like
long-distance charges.

May the farce be with you.

P.S. I help CompuPro make computers.  They do not help me make my opinions.
