Re: GBBS

Thanks for the info -- I've grabbed the latest version of TCPSER for future 
reference.

I used to run a small GBBS system back in the 80's but had to drop it after 
going through two ProFile drives :-(.  I "migrated" the users to TBBS under 
PC-DOS and am now running that system as a VMWare image on a Win2K server 
box.  If I ever scare up enough hardware to have a reliable HD I might put 
the GBBS system back on line. :-)
