There are only a few public BBSes that we support directly (all in the Netherlands, country code 31), the HP BBS (phone 020-6478491), the Microsoft BBS (02503-34221) and Hastec (050-418481). We do have our own BBS from which you can download the drivers and post technical questions or even chat with the sysop. It is a little tricky to get to it since it is connected to out voice mail system. The number is 01736-98254,,3. The commas represent a 15-second delay, so use ATS8=7 before dialing ths BBS. Dialinf from abroad might require an even large delay. ___________________________________________________________________ 4 (c) 1993,94 Himalaya Software
