Hope that you like the video and I must say that I will be featuring all 20 Atari run BBS's in the logoff screens. My BBS is being run on Alterra on FXEP. The BBSs that I feature so far are: Alcatraz BBS Baudville BBS Biker Bob's Clubhouse Boot Factory 2K Cheese Daddy's BBS and Dark Force BBS. I will be adding the rest today, and if there is something special that you want me to put in about your BBS then please let me know.

For quite some time I've been 50/50 about putting up a BBS. My software of choice is Carina II. At the moment I've had one running for a while but just for testing. I haven't gone public yet since I'm still undecided. One of my main concerns is its' networking capabilities. When I try to run "ICN_EDIT", I get an error 5 at line 3010 (I removed the REM at line 25005). So my question is, does networking actually work or am I beating a dead horse?? I'd like to get the networking working if at all possible. At the moment there are 2 other Carina II boards up and running. So it'd be pretty neat-o to get it functioning. 😁 Yes networking is possible I have got error 5 several times in Forem XEP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
