]It worked great as a UUCP BBS (if you can really call it a BBS), but you
]have the description wrong. It was a 10 MHz 286 with 1 MB of RAM and a 20
]MB hard drive running Xenix 286. It was used for a VERY small number of
]newsgroups plus personal e-mail for a little over half a dozen people and
]a user group mailing list. (Well, it MAY have actually run 12 MHz, but
]I recall it as 10. The rest I'm sure of. I think. I'll copy Joe Senner,
]who set this thing up originally, so he can call me a liar.)
it was 10Mhz, that being a longer term memory sort of explains how you
got it right. that or dumb luck :)
don't forget that before it ran your stuff it ran a 400 user mailing list
that ran 100-200 messages each day to each of those 400 people :)
