I didn't run 'C-Net' but I did run "Excelsior"
Professional BBS on my A500.
I ran OS 3.1, w/ 8 megs ram, 4 CD roms, and 2
hard drives. It ran well and stable. My A500 ran
for about 4 years 24-7 and never had any real
problems. I've been considering putting it
( Excelsior) up for bid on EBay. If you are interested
contact me and maybe we can work something out.

If I remember right Excelsior ran on OS 2.xx
or better and 2 megs of ram. It is very
configurable with an Arexx port. But it might
be alittle tough to set up without the manual.
I just mentioned what my system was to give
an idea what can be done with it.
Oh, I did run a TAG board on a 286 also.
Tag wasn't a bad BBS.

Back when I was running my BBS we had what
we called 'The CrapNet'. It started out with
3 BBS's and grew to 12 BBS's. I was running
'Excelsior' because a programer friend had
written some of the code for excesior.
When we started our net he wrote the script
that tied them togather. Each BBS had its own
forums plus the net forums.System maint. would
shut off the phone lines 2 times a day and export
the net forums to the other BBS's.All the file
dir were also exported. It was perty cool,
if a user wanted a file from another BBS
he could send a request and receive the file
as an attach with a PMail.
One of the origonal BBS's is still online. You
can now get on his BBS via the internet.
It really was alot of fun.
