4882.0. "PD Bulletin board software" by SNOC01::JACOBMARK () Wed Jul 10 1991 03:25

    
    
    I am looking for some PD bulletin board software for my Amiga. 
    Does anybody know of any ? Or even better whether there is any
    on EASYNET?
    
    Also I now have 2 modems and phone lines at home and am wondering
    whether there are any expansion options for my A500 to allow for
    2 serial ports to be used with the above mentioned BB.
    
    Any pointers much appreciated.
    Mark

4882.1	look before you leap - then happy to help	DATABS::TENNY	Dave Tenny - Object Based Systems	`Wed Jul 10 1991 08:41`	7
	I posted both this same question, and answers to your question elsewhere in this conference. Do a DIR/TIT on "BBS" or "BULLETIN" until you find it. (YOu should have done that before asking.... ) Dave
4882.2	a few hours later ... see 3813.7	DATABS::TENNY	Dave Tenny - Object Based Systems	`Wed Jul 10 1991 13:47`	6
	See note 3813 - I've summarized the BBS software available in the public domain (from fish disks anyway, but only up until a certain date, BBS's released since my posting won't have been evaluated). Dave
4882.3	Weeelll...	SNOC01::JACOBMARK		`Wed Jul 10 1991 20:27`	11
	Thanks, Dave I feel suitably humbled ;-\| However my question was a two part one. First the software, which your previous note gives a coupleof pointers to. Second, question still stands though. Can I get two serial ports/modems on my A500? If so how? (And does the PD BB S/W support more tham one incoming call?) Regards, Mark.

	I don't recall any comercially available serial port add-ons for the A500, but there is a PD hardware project to build 2 (or 4) additional serial ports. It was published in Amazing Computing magazine several months ago, and I believe the complete information is also available from TAPE::AMIGA:[AMIGA.HARDWARE]IOEXPANSION.LZH.

	Can't help with the 2 port question. I have one suggestion, when you do a dir/tit="BBS", most of the topics point to bulletin board systems for the Amiga that are being operated already. Perhaps if you contacted some of those BBS owners, they could point you in the right direction. Good luck. Dave

	Regarding ports: You can get one of the card cage extenders for the 500 (like Bodega Bay), and then add one of the serial card options, which range from one to eight extra serial ports. This may be a bit more expense than you desire. Don't know about BB support for the extra ports - I would hope so. Paul
