Greetings, all.  I'm planning to start a BBS on my data line but I'm
also considering that the most effective way for me to run this BBS
without wasting my machine resources is to have it running under Windows 3.1.
At least, I have a lot of Windows software I can use while my BBS is 
running.

First of all, Sorry to whomever wrote PBBS for Windows -- it glitched way
too much on me.  

I am basically looking for some BBS package that runs CORRECTLY under
MS Windows 3.1 enhanced mode.  I'd prefer to use Maximus BBS, which I
am most impressed with, but it only works under standard mode.

If anyone knows of a BBS which fits that billing, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
(okay, I'll stop begging) let me know.  I've been holding up putting
it online only because of this problem, and I know there are people
on this network far more experienced than I on these matters.

Thanks in advance.

--  Eric Knight
