Replying to a message of Ed Hulett to Bob Ackley:

 BA>> The C: drive in Bob's Boneyard BBS cr*pped out last Sunday morning.
 BA>> The box was a 486/66 with a whopping 16MB of RAM in it. The 'new'
 BA>> box is a Compaq Deskpro (PIII, 650Mhz, 256MB of RAM) that I rescued
 BA>> from a local junk yard. The only thing wrong with it was the power
 BA>> button on the front, but the former owner just threw it away rather
 BA>> than fix it; I replaced that button with one I'd salvaged from an
 BA>> old Gateway box and it came right up. Took all of 30 minutes to
 BA>> figure out what was wrong with it and another hour to dig out and
 BA>> install the replacement part (it's a big pile of 'parts'), cost
 BA>> $0.00. The 'new' box is just a teensy bit faster than the old one...
 BA>> 

 EH> Welcome back. Don't get a bloody nose from all that speed. :-)

The point was that I do 'dumpster diving' for computers and parts - and have
done it for years.  'course, there's notoby here to tell me to get rid of all my
'stuff.'  In any case, the system still has 'issues' .

Same version of OS, same software (except for Binkley, the new box uses a
different vwsion) and the scripts don't all work the same way - go figure.
Among other discoveies is the fact that Binkley wants its *.?LO files in
the outgoing directory, not in a separate fidonet.zone directory.  I still don't
know if the script that loads the BBS works and have no way to test it.
