 MR> Your configuration files has to be updated which should be done by
 MR> convpcfg (part of the new portal distributions archives) if your
 MR> portal release isn't to old.From Portal 0.62 it should work without
 MR> problems.

If I did do the switch. I would make sure I backed it all up before making 
any changes. I do a nightly backup of any files that get changed during 
the day. I also back up the entire BBS once a week to a CDRW.

 DS> I have been wanting to switch the

 DS> Just
 DS> not sure how Telegard (dos based) and Portal will run under it?
 MR> I does not have any information if portal will run better under
 MR> win2000 than older win version.
 MR> You can test it very simple. If the initialization of the modem works

 MR> misstries then the problems are going on.

Well I can install a backup copy on my Win 2000 machine and install a 
external modem on comm one and see what happens. I may have to patch the 
EXE files since its a PII/450. Not sure what the Pascale limit is on CPU 
speed. I have Portal running just fine on a AMD PR-233....
This is to much like work...LOL Then again I may learn something 
new....LOL
