So, no Apple network whatsoever overhere. At the moment, I am an Apple Area Operator of the local FIDONET-based BBS, called OPUS MAGNUM, stationed in Antwerp. To make things easy I made myself a point, called The Apple Connection, allthough the mailing-program runs on a , yeg|, PC. (BTW; my address is 2:295/20.2008 and I am very interested in American (preferably Apple-minded) nodes/points to send netmail to. So, here's the question: Is there any Appleprogram, that is conform to the Fidonet and allows me -MAILING-, packing of files (PKARC-compatibility), ANSI-graphics (using a font?...) , Z-Modem, etc... If not, no hard feelings. It's even better that way: I make my own BBS. But it has to be expandable, adaptable and usable in a (future) Belgian Apple Net. (My dream, sigh...) So allowing: ON-LINE to run programs, (un)packing of mailpackets and files, supporting Points, extensive security, totally and utterly Apple II-minded, userfriendly .... Something completly different from Fidonet, typically Apple. There's one mayor problem. I am a student and a European citizen. So, I don't have much money and I costs a lot to phone to the USA to examine or download BBS-software. I would appreciate if someone could send me BY NORMAL MAIL such a Apple BBS program. If it's not possible, you can always send in through E-Mail, only from March. (We're moving to another building). I know it's illegal to copy programs, but if I find a suitable BBS-program (not the ones I tried from Apple2-L), I would gladly mail a box of pralines (you call them chocolates) to the sender. (Top quality, hand-made, labeled BONDOUCE, express-delivery) Why chocolates? The compagny is just a block away and I think everybody likes them. My purpose, is to stimulate the use of Apple II's and modems in general. People always answer with "There's nothing to phone to" when you ask them why they won't use a modem. So, without sponsoring and high phonetaxes, I would like to set this thing up in the best way possible. (Hope you understand...)
