Dan,

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

  I ran GT Power for dial-up, then first used FrontDoor and
GEcho for the tosser...then switched to InterMail for the
frontend (I ran BGFAX at the back end), and InterEcho for
the tosser...first under DOS 3.2, then DOS 5, then DOS 6
and 6.22 -- the latter had DESQView for multitasking (the
BBS was single node dial-up), and QEMM for memory management.
I didn't switch to telnet until about 15 years after the BBS
first came online...The Thunderbolt BBS turns 30 on May 1.

  Quarterdeck Software, who made DESQView and QEMM...along
with TeleGraphix, who pioneered RIP Graphics, are both long
since out of business. I will note one former Sysop thought
that "I thought RIP was what you did to a fart". <G>
