Thanks to all of you who replied. And now the question: I figured out that it is time to change BBS software from PCBoard to something else. Now the question is, what that something else should be? It has to fulfill several basic requirements. - to be freeware or "cheapware" :-) - to work under OS/2 Warp 3, without PM (if possible) - to be able to thread newsgroups messages correctly, meaning that replies to meassages in newsgroup are put to appropriate thread and not outside of it - above also means that it has to have good e-mail/newsgroups support - and to also be able, to establish UUCP connection, if not TCP/IP over PPP dial-up connection with an ISP - support other languages as well as English - easy setup and out of the box functionality (if possible) - some other offline reading method than QWK/REP packets (QWK/REP has to be supported as well, of course) I hope that some of you will be able to give me some first hand advice, because I would like to switch BBS software only once in 5 to 10 years or so... :-)) ....
