When I worked at DEC, our datacenter had dialups, where, you dialed one
number,and it went into a "hunt chain", where, if the primary number was
busied out, the telco
automatically routed it to the next line (number) in the chain, until it found
an open one.
If all were tied up, than your dialing attempt returned a "busy". Each
seperate line was
connected to it's own modem, then, IIRR, they fed into a DECserver (model
escapes
me), then on to the ethernet.... Of course, this was after they took out the

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.

Hello. A while back, I was asking about BBS stuff.
Does anyone have a
BBS
program (prefferably color, etc., possibly
HTML-style), with
server/client
software that they could give me? (I could pay
for software, shipping,
etc.)
Thanks,
Tim D. Hotze
