  I guess the sarcasm was lost there, Kevin. Most people find it
impossible to run a BBS under windoz. Or do any sort of
high-speed communications in the background. Maybe win9? will fix
that, if they can ever get it to do
32bit multitasking.
  Actually, on a serious note -- you should try some different
BBS software. That one is pretty bad -- I've seen a lot of
different BBS packages and that's not up to snuff. Try Maximus or PC-Board. Or even
Wildcat, tho I'm not really a wildcat fan, it would still be an improvement.
Or even good old RBBS -- I ran that for awhile, before switching to Maximus.
The mail handling features in Maximus are topnotch.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the
answer is NO.
