RE: APPLE II NETWORKS

[paul.parkhurst@uttsbbs.uucp (Paul Parkhurst)]

-> Okay, AppleNet is just a BBS Program, there is no network code in
-> AppleNet. Metal is a BBS Language, similar to ACOS, but much faster
-> and better, IMHO. The BBS Program that is most widely used under ACOS
-> is GBBS, which has no net code involved, although you can various
-> networks, such as FidoNet (but nasty code), OggNET (Which was once a
-> semi-large network, but is now down to like 15 nodes), TeamNet (Which
-> code I haven't seen) and IIneNet (which code I haven't seen).

   Actually, I believe OGG-Net maxed out once at about 18 nodes.  For
some reason, we tend to stay around the same; 15-16 nodes or so.  As
Steve said, we are in the process of getting a couple of more nodes,
but we have never been as big as you might imagine.  We just seem to
get quite a lot of "press," I suppose.   :)
