    I like Bluewave, as I got it operating under WinXP and VISTA and it
    seems so user friendly. I would really like to see someone or
    those that own the rights bring it up to date perhaps...that is
    if there is anything needing updates.

    I tried to register long ago, but seemed whomever disappeared.

    Who owns the rights, and if they still exist, and if anyone will be able
    to find anyone to register with, are the unanswered questions nowadays.
    The major issues for Y2K have been addressed, though, and the fixes are available. Otherwise, there really isn't anything that really needs
    updates, at least IMHO... :)

    How true, but it is the right thing to do, if that matters anymore.

    I just like using it, and I used to give it too anyone I knew doing
    the BBS scene.

    Hello, PETER.

    My problem is limited knowledge about Telnet and getting the

    There are ways to do it, but the BBS will have to be running at least Windows 2000 to do it. It's really off-topic in here, but if you email me, I'll be happy to help you get it set up the right way. It's not difficult to do so under Windows (or OS/2 either, really).

    Hello Sean, and also Nancy.,

    Thanks for the info, I'll have to remove the Win98 and see what we
    can comeup with. The PC is a IBM 300GL and well I better get those responsible looking for the Win2000.

    On the topic of BBSes, and this conference, YES I am wrong for posting
    here, but then Bluewave since 1991 was always the choice Offline Reader
    to be promoted and used on my BBS, at least until 2005, when deaths
    in the family, and a few friends, and my own health went down the
    hole.

    Anyhow thanks for the email address, mine is ve3wbz@hotmail.com
    so I'll get back to you...

    Later,
