[FADCA] NEW bbs program help needed!!

[oderr at bellsouth.net]

Ok, now I understand. I remember the discussion earlier. Since I don't operate a BBS I did not follow the discussion before.  Will this program operate with what we are working with for EMCOMMS?  What I would like to see is a program that would have routines the user could select the would support:
1.  Messages
2.  Files
3.  Conference Bridge
4.  On line relational database that could be set up by the sysop remotely and would have the capability of allowing the user to develop reports from the database.  (My suggestion is that the software written would provide a remote packet station to use a MySQL or Access.  It would be good if the user could start a new database remotely, but I would be satisfied if the database could have present tables that would allow the entering of data for shelter registrations, assignments, supplies, and or combination of those types of data.  Reports to be generated would be for scheduling operators for shelter and other facilities, shelter bed counts, Multiple Casualty Incident transportation of victims to enable the incident commander or triage officer to manage the response to victims, hospital ER/bed status, rescue unit run status, etc.)

I would like to discuss this further. I think anything that is developed not for use with remote packet stations enable us to provide a more comprehensive service to emergency response (served) agencies, that would enable them to have better management of the disaster.  We need to think much further than messages. We need to provide a tool that is dynamic, expandable to meet the situation, and that could be supported by remote packet stations using a variety of communications software (not be user software dependent.)  

If it is "web" based but use TEXT rather than graphics, that would be very acceptable.
