 MR> that's too bad. i checked it out again the other day and it still looks
 MR> pretty mediocre. lord game doesnt even have any igms. 

Most IGMS for lord are cheesy anyway, BBSLink is run under a DosEMU
envirmonment so its impossible to get a lot of the IGMS to work under dosemu
because the drive and path issues..

 MR> part of what makes a bbs good is putting work into it. if you just use
 MR> shortcuts like these door servers, it cheapens the feel.

I like having options like BBSLink because the shear volume of players, but I
also like to have my own games installed to.. I have a couple differemt Planets
TEOS installed locally. running under DOSEMU, one is vanilla, the other is
modified with more NPCS and planets.

I also have a few League 10 games setup, Plus many other DOS doorgames and JS
doorgames..

I also always make sure I setup a telgate menu to allow access to some of "My
favorite" bbs systems. 

Along with tons of other stuff.. I'm working on a shell right now that will
work liek more of a RPG instead of a menuing system to get around the BBS. so
goto external, message, file, and other areas one will need to follow a story
mode type rpg.. maybe even give them ways to interact with each other, fight,
and do other things.. 

That is really what I'm going for in the longrun.. this has been an idea
floating in my head forever.
