> what bbs (mailer, tosser, etc) did you run on your XT ?

Not sure about Daryl's, but mine ran GT Power BBS software.  It had its own
proprietary network mailer/tosser which was only compatable with networks
built on its topology.  One thing it had going for it was that all messages
entered into an echo were routed to the sponsor's/moderator's system first.
 Made it much easier to moderate echos!  :)

My XT had an internal 2400 baud modem.  For the longest time, I could only
get it to work at 1200 on outgoing calls.  Finally figured out how to set
it up properly to get full use out of it.

I also tried once to put an upgraded 8-bit serial card in it so I could use
a 16550 UART and a faster modem.  Did not work as well as I expected.  That
eventually lead me to my third PC, an 80386DX-40.  I loved that machine!

I still have it somewhere, too, but I think the power supply on it stopped
working.
