Re: GBBS Question

["Joel Ostroski" <junkmail@youlazybum.com>]

Thank you for your input.  I guess I do not have the needed version of GBBS.
I don't have GSport listed.  When I go to reselect my modem and I select
external modem, I have the following options:

Serial Cards:

MBI VIP Card Serial
Peractical Periph SeriALL
Appricorn Super Imager
Apple Super Serial Card
APple IIc modem port
Videx PSIO Card - Serial

After selecting one of the serial cards and I presented with External
Modems, they are:

Apple Modem 1200
Cermetek Apple-Mate 1200
Hayes Smartmodem 1200
Novation Smartcar Plus
Prentice Popcom X100
Prometheus Promodem 1200
Us Robotics Password
US Robotics Auto-Dial 212a
Vental 1200 Plus
CTS 2424H 2400 baud
Hayes Smartmodem 2400
Nocation Professional 2400
Us Robotics Courier 2400
No Carrier 300 baud (BETA)
Generic High Speed 1200
Multi-Speed 1200 Baud
Multi-Speed 2400 Baud
Apple IIgs modem port (1200)
Apple IIgs modem port (2400)
Stardard 300 baud modem

So, the question becomes, where can I get a version of GBBS that supports
the GSPort since I do not have that listed.  I believe that I am running
GBBS Acos Loader version 1.3 in the code of the software I believe it states
1.3j.

Where can I get the version that supports the GS Port?

Thanks again
