[Fwd: Re: [FADCA] Update on NEW bbs program]

[John H. Green]

I'll try again

   One thing that needs attention is handling personal / emergency 
traffic. I know 4re and probably all the other bbs's will allow us to 
set these ahead of bulletins, but the problem is that this only happens 
when messages are queued up to send. If you already have 200 messages in 
the send que it will be hours before a new session is started and the 
emergency message gets to the top. I have observed this with personal
and nts messages, but could never find a way around it.

Also, don't forget bpqkiss..

Do we want a fpac that runs under window. I mention again that as license 
cost could be considerable. I'm still not sure I want to put w2k or xp 
in a remote site..
I still vote for linux and that's why I would like to see the new bbs 
compiled to run under linux - ALSO, not instead of..
If the new bbs has multi port capability why does one need fpac at home??
