ITs capabilities, if you could tame it, and I know of two people who did:
--------------------------------------------------
2341K 09-22-1997
AdeptXBBS Version 1.11y Full Install
------------------------------------
32-bit, Multi-Threaded GUI, NNTP,
SMTP, POP3, Telnet, Sockets, FTP,
Integrated Mailer, REXX, Utils,
multiple language, XMsg, *.Msg,
Squish and JAM msg bases,
localized date/time display and
a lot more!
Very customizable for almost any
BBSing needs.
GUI (PM) BBS for OS/2. FREEWare/2
24 Node Version
--------------------------------------------------
Adept was begun by a programmer right in this state whose name I no longer
remember. Wait! IT was Mark Kimes. He either released the code into the
public domain or turned it over to the two who updated it -- one in Canada and
the other in India, both using different compilers. I actually got it to work,
with a lot of help from Bill Kirby of the Twin Towers BBS in Texas. Even if it
had become 100% reliable, there is still the fact that IBM abandoned its OS,
probably to work on the Space Shuttle software. I don't know that for a fact
-- it's just an educated guess on my part.
AdeptXBBS is downloadable from:
http://www.bbsdocumentary.com/software/IBM/OS2/ADEPTXBBS/
but I don't believe it's the source code.

I love to fly, but they won't let me handle the plane during takeoff or
landing. (-:

What about Ozzmosis?

Everything that has a beginning has an end.

It's an awful truth and happens to everyone.
It is storming over here. I thought this only happened in April.
