Open a text editor and scan a nodelist if you have one. There are quite a few, and if you can get into the ISDN echo I believe someone in there compiles a list too. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Greg Cobb - gcobb@memphisonline.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- --- 2SuaveEd v.0 * Origin: Picture This...

I am still using Adept and aside from the obvious lack of support have been pretty happy with it. However, I am always looking for something better.

There is a dedicated AdeptSoft and AdeptSysop echo area.

You are wasting much cpu time, and opeining yourself up to problems. You should download the SIO package and read the docs... basicly it's a replacement for the COM.SYS and the VCOM.SYS (the os/2 and virtual dos com drivers) sio.sys and vsio.sys. And a 3rd program called VX00 which is a fossil EMULATOR. THis set of drives saves you a few OR more emulation steps. many cpu clock cycles and solves alot of funny problems you may be havving. -Matt --- * Origin: DarK AxiuM 'Help me im in hell' (1:141/497) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 251 OS2 BBS Ref: DEX00004 Date: 10/27/96 From: PAUL RIDER Time: 07:53am \/To: ALL (Read 3 times) Subj: ISDN Bbs's...
