	On the subject of RoboBBS...well, I work in a sales and service
computer shop and one of our salesmen runs a BBS, and just happens to be
running RoboBBS.  There's one other important feature that you need to
know about besides the need for EGA/VGA...you also need to have a
16550 UART chip in your I/O card, or your connection won't be all that
great, even if it's an MNP or V.xxbix connect.  And the user front-end
will squak if you don't have that 16550 UART.

	Now, on the other hand, if you have the VGA and the 16550 UART,
it doesn't have too bad a thur-put even at 2400 baud.  That itself,
is impressive for the interface.  If you've got a 9600 or 14.4k modem,
you might think you're running something comparable to Windows. (No, I'm
not kidding.)

	If you're interested in seeing what it looks like, and have the
equipment; you can call up "The Goose's Nest" in Kansas City, MO at
(816) 221-NEST and have a look at the interface.  You will need to be
able to download via ZModem to get the user front-end, though.  (QModem
should be able to do that.)

	Another think I'll add before I doddle off, RemoteAccess should be
comming out with a similar product in a short while.  I.E. a month or
two.  From what I understand, the maintanence is tough.  If RA can do the
same thing and cut the maintanence down...

	Well, anyway...if you check out the Goose's Nest, tell the SysOp
that "Lionman" sent you. :->

"Be well..."
