(3.5) Running a BBS Under OS/2



I would like to set up an OS/2 BBS.  What is available? 



OS/2 is an excellent environment for BBS operation (even using DOS/Windows 
software), including large multiline facilities.  Related software will 
enable FidoNet capabilities, gateways to Usenet/UUCP, nodelist processing, 
additional file transfer protocols, and more. 



Five popular OS/2-specific BBSes are Maximus and Simplex [available from 
(3.2) Shareware and Freeware Sources), Omega Point/2 (BBS 404-564-1961), 
Magnum (phone 818-706-9800, BBS 818-706-9805), and Multi-Net (phone 
503-883-8099, BBS 503-883-8197). 



For more information on operating a BBS under OS/2 (with conferences 
devoted to the subject) log on to one of the OS/2 BBSes listed in (4.11) 
OS/2 BBSes.
