There are plenty of free and shareware BBS programs on the 'net.
Check out
www.cdrom.com (SimTel) and
www.filelibrary.com (Channel 1)
for stuff. Channel 1 needs you to register, by the way. Here is a
question for you all: How is it done that several people can dial up
a BBS at the same number and all connect?
Likely, the BBS has several numbers in rotary but only advertises the
bottom number.
The same way they advertize one number you can call to order your very
own Slim Whitman album. (Billions and billions call at once.)
