Do bulletin boards use half duplex or single duplex lines? If the boards do not make outgoing calls, they can get the half duplex service. It is a small economy that can add up over time. Do you know if sys ops use this option? --End of 46451 Msg #:?rep Msg 46455 01 ? Duplex refers to whether a line can send and receive data at the same 02 ?time, - way back when, they would send in only one direction. Even the 03 ?HST modem "breakthru" was 9600 in one direction, and was duplex - with 04 ?300 or something in the other direction.

Msg 46453 is 07 line(s) on 09/06/93 from ANDY SHAPIRO to ED FOSTER re: R/DBIV? Ed: Thanks for the offer, but I think that I'll stick with non-compiled for now. I've since learned that DBXL supports some functions that aren't part of dBASE (such as the APPEND AUTOMEM function) and so that might cause some problems. Also, I keep tinkering :-), so compiled code might not be as useful as I thought. SIGH. Thanks for the offer, though. Msg #:?.

I've seen them, and they should make a big difference in things like 7th guest. Hey, if you don't like your system, I'll trade you my 386sx for it (just kidding)... BTW, I'm playing around with GEOS today, so I'm talking to you over the GEOS desktop COMM program. Cute, but mebbe a little too GUI for me to handle... Msg #:?.
