I'm looking it up now and will see if it would help me any.  For
clarification, I seldom
use Telnet to call bbs's.  I find I just don't have the needed patience to deal with
how slow it is to type anything whatsoever and get a response from the bbs.
 Especially
when it comes to playing a door game or writing any text, such as message to sysop
for example, in the bbs mail area.  I do all of my igms testing on my own system and
don't use any kind of bbs software.  I leave the testing of my igms on
bbs's to several
bbs tester sysop friends such as Daryl Stout and Marty Blankenship.

There are no local bbs's in northwest Alabama that I know of.  I've lost track of any
good computer friends in the region who I could try contacting to see if
they even knew
of any bbs's around here.  It is just sad that so many bbs's that still
exist are probably
all located in large cities.  And calling somewhere long distance just to
play/test games
is an expensive hobby for most people, including myself.

If there was a BBS in northwest alabama, I would gladly resume use of my registered
Qmodem for DOS or Telix for DOS comm programs and use it to test my Lord
games. As it is, all of my bbs sysop friends are in other states, so I am
just stuck with doing
the normal development and testing routine for all of my Lord (and Lord/32) programs.
Thanks for the info.  Donald.
