So it's all YOUR fault, eh? [grin] Seriously, I'd forgotten
the name
'PBBS' when I wrote about HBBS (and Irv Hoff), but that's what I
meant all right. And yeah, for a smiple CP/M BBS on, say, an S100
box, PBBS would be ideal (either that or HBBS).


For a "true" authentic CP/M BBS, you can't beat any number of compiled
MBASIC bbs programs like RBBS coupled with either BYE or MBYE to build
a nice RCP/M system.

Are you implying that PBBS was not a "true" authentic CP/M BBS? I
think not!


Oh by no means did I mean that! My choice of words was rather poor I
suppose. :)

My memory is fuzzy, but PBBS was self-hosted, correct? Didn't need BYE
to handle the modem? 99% of the CP/M boards I called back in the day were
RCP/M systems or other types that required BYE to handle the communication
layer. Self-hosted systems like ROS, PICS, Citadel, etc. were not as
common, at least in the 206 area.

If memory serves, PBBS was 100% assembly and that STILL blows my mind. :)
