I ran a bbs on QuickBBS for awhile and I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread!!! It it very easy to install, very flexable and loads of fun!!! I it was $50 to register (but you could set it up to test) and this got you free upgrades ad nausium. It used the fossil driver for flexability and I had a couple of games running on it! I think it's much better than RBBS (I _really dislike RBBS), PCBoard or Fido. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Kevin Franden UUCP: {backbone}!pyramid!infmx!kevinf Informix Software Inc disclaimer("I said what I said and not my employer"); =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
