I got an update link for you all that are interested in reading about Texting using a BBS back in the 80's , it's kinda a bragging rights deal , but alot of research has gone into this project and getting it back off the ground ..... Hope you enjoy the link. By the way , Frank who wrote this , was in my opinion was a very exceptional programmer back in the Apple II days and did amazing things with 6502 Machine Language :O)
Ejoy the link.....
