   *Very* good point - was too focused on whats happening to the code...   
      
   Currently PAE (Pre-Alpha Experience) is running on a Linux VPS in Arizona.   
      
   I develop PPAE (Pre-PAE) on a Mac OSX xServer in Virginia.   
      
   * Occasionally I slow down and get it to work on 32bit Windows in a    
   Win32 VPS in Dallas.   
      
   I am keen on eventually getting a copy of ArcaOS - just so I can see    
   "can I still support" OS/2(ish) environments.   
      
   Right now, PCBoard v16 does not have Serial Communications - it is 100%    
   TCP/IP, and runs as a Daemon/TService - No U/I. I am working on a    
   "Detached" WFC (Wait for Call) console - but, it is a distraction to    
   getting the product out the door ;-)

   How important is Serial Communications to you? When we did our original    
   survey last year, I think 2% said they want dial-up... and at such a    
   low number, it feel into (maybe after the TCP build is out the door). I    
   do not want to reference is as PCBoard WinServer - a couple other    
   products do that. Instead, think of PCB16 as a JUMP from 23 years ago.   
      
   PPAE has:   
   1.   JAMmb API as the message base - stress tested pulling in USENET    
   for a week - no problems.   
   2.   A Parallel NNTP Server - uses PCB16 USERS.DAT for authentication    
   and access control.   
   3.   Full-Tested Fidonet Tosser   
   4.   PPE is no more, as the WHOLE BBS is an interprested open source    
   script. Organized so people can replace prompts, screens, logic, etc.   
   5.   * Primary focus in the message side of thing - next month I    
   migrate to focusing on the FILE side of things.   
      
   I am open to wishes, bitches, complaints, feedback, etc.   
   www.fb.com/PCBoard16 - I try to post screenshots, design details, etc.
