IE does it use one system account for all users, or one for each, (that's the big one) how does menuing work (Do you write plaintext menus which the BBS displays, or do you put in ASCII and ANSI files as in Renegade, does it use internal systems for news and mail or system ones (very connected to first question..), is there a package, included or available, to allow it to network messages with DOS bbses, offline mail support, etc. etc. etc...) P.S. I'd like to be a tester. P.P.S. Please delete my account from tmok. I forgot the password anyway. ....T...I...M...B...U...K...T...U... ____________________________________ .________________ _/>_ _______......[George Caswell, CS '99. 4 more info ] <___ ___________// __/<___ /......[http://the-eye.res.wpi.edu/~timbuktu] ...//.<>._____..<_ >./ ____/.......[Member LnL+SOMA, sometimes artist, ] ..//./>./ /.__/ /./ <___________.[writer,builder.sysadmin of the-eye ] .//.</.</</</.<_ _/.<_____________/.[____________________________________] </.............</...................
