   Sounds like the perfect system for running a BBS on. I also have a Lenovo,   
   it's the Tiny Form Factor. I love it!

   My first BBS computer I bought when I came back online almost 3 years ago was   
   a older Intel Pentium system. After I transfered everything over to the Lenovo   
   that PC has been collecting dust. I was planning on making that into either a   
   OS/2 PC or a Amiga one. It has 2 modems in it. I'm planning on setting up a   
   dial-in number.  I have all the equipment for it.

   I did install a older version of ArcaOS on that unused desktop. I'm not even   
   sure where I downloaded it from, but it was a old version. Even with that, it   
   looks pretty good.  I did have some boot issues. It would hang on occasion so   
   I put playing with it to the backburner.   
      
    DL> Got any questions...feel free to ask. Sean Dennis over at MicroNet has    
    DL> helped myself & others as well. Want to see what the future looks like

   For sure, I'll be bugging you guys very soon!   
      
   Thanks for the info!
