Glad you asked...

 > What is this BBS written in?

Okay... are you sitting down?  This host software is TBBS v2.2 M16 by eSoft,
Inc, Aurora, CO.  The cost is about $1,000.  I started with TBBS back in the
late '70s early '80 for TBBS v1.3 Single for TRS80 Model I/III/4 under Newdos80
at $250.  Since then I've upgraded the host software many times--including
updating the drivers on a regular basis using the MODs list from the eSoft BBS
in Colorado.

In 1987 I placed my first DOS computer online under TBBS and upgraded once
again.  Then, within two years went multi-line--again, more money for a
digiboard, modems, and TBBS upgrade.  Since then I've upgraded a few more times
to keep current with the latest version of TBBS.

This computer is the same one I placed online back in '87--with a few repairs
for monitors, power supplies and a new harddrive.

I could continue, you know.  I have lots of stories to tell but then this
message would go well beyond capasity. (grin)

Thanks for asking.  -Rick-
