   I think you are right about that.  Galacticomm and eSoft were major   
   competitors.  I remember an issue of BoardWatch that featured a whole article   
   about a speed test that Phil Becker conducted between eSoft's TBBS and   
   Galacticomm's MajorBBS.  They tested a full 96 nodes of each and found that   
   TBBS outshined MBBS.
