It was a DOS based Communications program you would use to dial-up BBS's. Had Zmodem and HSlink and all the other protocols already installed, and had ANSI graphics.. nice resume feature as well..
I think I had version 3.15e. Just thought I'd ask.. I used that dang program to leech Gig's of files off BBS's using a 2400bps modem, then a 14.4 and then a 28.8. [img]smile.gif[/img] I ran a BBS for 4 years or so--called "The Great Escape" and had a Roleplaying game forum too! . I ran "WWIV" (Means World War 4)-- it was like a 'server' program. You dial up, read messages, download files, play some online 'door' games (Anyone play Tradewars 2002 or Legend of the Red Dragon?) |

Nope not here! I'm so not familiar with DOS, and stuff like that. I only recall that we used to have a Commodore 64, with games as "Gateway" and "Wonderboy". Amazing stuff, it could keep me busy for hours.
After that we got ourselves a 386, and that only ran in DOS, but I only understood the way to get to the games.. Ack! I'm totally addicted! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I remember programs like that and I remember L.O.R.D. I actually found some BBS's that still have the game running and I played it a while back. It brought back the memories.

I remember using PROCOMM to dial up to BBS's. [img]smile.gif[/img] That was a cool program! Man, I remember when a 2400 baud modem came out and I really thought I had something then, man! [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img] If I'd only known!
It does make me wonder, will I look back one day at my having a DSL connection and laugh, too? Cheers,

Yes! I used it quite a long time ago. Very fine program, and very easy to use.
