 PS- Info on Bulliten Board Services (BBS).  Remember,
before the WWW caught
on, that's what we'd log onto and post messages, etc.  I want to know about
some old BBS software for DOS and earlier versions of Windows, and server
software.  (Get what I'm trying to say here?)

 Check around on the web for Fido software.  Back in the
days before the
Internet, FidoNet was a world-wide network of independant BBS's.   
	Fido is far from dead. In fact, some sysops have claimed an increase in
their user base since the Internet got rolling. I've been running a Fido
BBS since 1989, and I've got no intention of stopping anytime soon.

	I have a wide assortment of BBS software oriented towards DOS-based
systems. My pacakge of choice is RemoteAccess 2.01. If there's someone on
the list who needs the software, just say so and I can file-attach the
pieces to them in an E-mail message.
