Howdy Larry..........not specifically a package but more of an idea (might be 
totally off base with it though so that's why I thought I'd ask here for 
suggestions.).  What got me to thinking along these lines was working through 
some sample Java client and server code.  The server was set up for these 
examples by using localhost (127.0.0.1 or whatever address one has localhost 
defined as on their system)........the java client example contained code to 
log onto the localhost server and do some sends and fetchs.  Anyways this got 
me to thinking that it should be possible then to setup a server and then use 
a (yet to be determined) comm interface between the server and callers.
One thing I didn't think about until after I'd sent my original message 
though was how callers could implent/interface their net browsers with their 
comm software. :(
Anyways, today I downloaded the OS/2 version of the Apache server and will be 
trying to get it set up tonight............if you have any suggestions on 
settiing up a BBS this way I sure would like to hear them.   Thanks for the 
reply Larry.......will ttyl.  :-)
