Need some information about C-Net 128 4 message(s) total. ************ ------------ Category 9, Topic 24 Message 1 Sun Jul 03, 1988 S.MCCULLAR3 at 02:20 PDT Well, the topic pretty much says it all. I am looking for a 128 mode bbs, that will handle the older 9060 and 9090 hard drives, as well as two sfd (1 meg) drives. Also, the BBS MUST be able to operate at 2400 baud, and have a minimum of 10 file transfer 'directories', as well as 10+ Message bases. I have not been able to find a C-net 128 BBS operating anywhere, and therefore, I cannot look at one remotely. Can someone please leave me some info about this BBS, or the author's name (If he's on GEnie), or his support center BBS? Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Shawn ------------ Category 9, Topic 24 Message 2 Tue Jul 05, 1988 C.BARBEE [FUSBINWA] at 22:52 EDT I ran a C-Net BBS under the latest release of the 128 version (I forget the number.). I finally ended-up dropping back to the older one. ------------ Category 9, Topic 24 Message 3 Thu Jul 07, 1988 D.SCHMOLDT [Dave/SysOp] at 03:05 EDT We ran into the same problem with the C64 C-Net. Had so many problems with the newer version (the then-new 12.0) that we dropped back to 11.1a. Our attitude is to wait for a new version to get burnt and debugged during actual use *on someone else's BBS* before upgrading... <grin> Dave ------------ Category 9, Topic 24 Message 4 Thu Jul 07, 1988 D.RAY1 at 20:55 EDT Here's a C-net 128 BBS number if you are interested: Mule Lip BBS 219-736- 8424 The operator of Mule Lip has been running C-net for some time and might be helpful answering your questions. ------------ ************ Topic 36 Fri Nov 20, 1987 M.MACOLL (Forwarded) Sub: C-Net 12.0 Mods & P-Files Hi, could ya people please upload some 12.0 files?

Later --Perry ------------ Category 9, Topic 36 Message 3 Mon May 02, 1988 DEB [*SysOp*] at 00:38 EDT Well, every time I turn around there is someone uploading a new PFile here... How many CNet SysOps do we have here?! ------------ Category 9, Topic 36 Message 4 Mon May 02, 1988 D.SCHMOLDT [Dave/SysOp] at 00:49 EDT Not a C-Net sysop myself, but our club runs a BBS with C-net 11.1a and a Lt. Kernal hard drive. We've thought about upgrading to version 12.00 but have heard it has quite a few bugs. Any other opinions? One problem we have with 11.1a is that Xmodem transfers time out every 12th Xmodem block for Amiga users. On some term programs the handshaking never recovers, and the transfer eventually dies. A real pain, and the AMiga people in the club ain't too thrilled about not being able to make use of the BBS for downloading. Anyone out there had any luck getting any version of C-Net to work with Amiga X-Modem transfers? Dave ------------ Category 9, Topic 36 Message 5 Sat May 07, 1988 GELFLING at 21:10 MDT I, too, would love to see more c-net p-files uploaded here. I HATE! Q-Link, but that was the only place I could ever get any new stuff. I have found a board in Philly, accessable through PCP at 415-551-7295 (name escapes me) that has WONDERFUL p-files available. As for how many C-net sysops you have here, the number could well be intto the hundreds, but the question is, how many of them stray into the dungeons, a.k.a. these subs? I try to support C-net sysops with a c-net mods and p-file area, and put my newly acquired p-files there for all interested.

And we have a Supra 2400 baud modem, which C-Net does like (seems to have something to do with carrier detect ... we've gotten it to answer the phone, but it hangs up immediately). Are there any 12.0 users out there who can verify that Xmodem works proper;y (specifically for AMiga users), and that the Supra 2400 works with it? At this point, we don't *have* top run at 2400 baud .... we just want to be able to use the modem at 300/1200. Julie Rhodes informs me that version 12.1 is due Real Soon Now. Anyone have an idea when? And finally, is 12.0 ant more solid than 11.1a? Thanks, Dave P.S. to Color 64 users. Can you answer the same questions? Especially about the Supra 2400? ------------ Category 9, Topic 36 Message 7 Tue Aug 09, 1988 COLOR64BBS [Greg Pfountz] at 20:00 EDT as for Color 64 - yes - yes - yes - yes - <<grin>> Color 64 can run at 2400 baud - no problems - and have many Supra owners. As for Xmodem, it works great with all kinds of computers. I just finished a CRC version too - great for LARGE Amiga files. Color 64 is nothing like C-net in its operations - so please read my Color 64 information file (in our downloads here) before you make a decision whether to convert. If you like the way Color 64 works (most persons do), then I can assure you that all your current complaints that you listed in the previous message will be eleminated by switching to my BBS software. ------------ Category 9, Topic 36 Message 8 Thu Aug 11, 1988 D.SCHMOLDT [Dave/SysOp] at 04:31 EDT Thanks, Greg. I still have the number of your BBS around here, and will give it a call soon. SOunds like, if nothing else, it would solve our Xmodem and Supra problems. As I'm sure you can understand, we've been bitten almost every time we've changed BBS software, so are getting pretty wary about doing so again. It seems that some problems get solved, but others just pop up. Dave ------------ Category 9, Topic 36 Message 9 Fri Aug 19, 1988 S.WOOD3 [Scott] at 00:58 PDT I'm a C-NET v12.0 Sysop... not sure I should broadcast it though. Reliable support is non-existant, notice all the replies to the cries for help here? Sheesh! a couple pleas for help and no answers from anyone. It seems to run in the C-NET family... I've been fortunate to find some help from a few other sysops, but its quite difficult to get through to those few systems that are willing to help. I would have thought that GEnie would be a great place to look for help... or offer help. ------------ Category 9, Topic 36 Message 10 Tue Aug 23, 1988 D.SCHMOLDT [Dave/SysOp] at 02:29 EDT Well, I got a letter from the C-Net folks today. Seems the guy who wrote C- Net 12.0 and was two months behind schedule on releasing 12.1 has decided to leave the company. Seems he's also going to attempt do some mods to 12.1 and sell it as his own product. The C-Net gang says thet are looking into the legal aspects. They then proceed to apologize for the "devistating" blow to C- Net PR, especially to those with upgrade orders. Then they inform us that the guy who wrote version 11.1a two years ago had been working on his own enhancement in the background and has agreed to let them market it as of September 1st. It will be called C-Net DSII and will allow huge program overlays and even swamping of the main file (CN) while the program is runnung. More MCI commands, enhanced editor, and other changes. No word on 2400 baud support or whether Xmodem has been fixed.

I think the current address is: Perspective Software 1716 Walnut Ridge Canton Twp., MI 48187 The author (Ken Pletzer) runs the Future World BBS at (313) 981-6150. This is from the C-Net 11.0 manual. Since that time Prestige International took over marketing for a while, did a horrible job, and had their marketing rights revoked. Ken took over the job himself again through his Perspective Software company. I *think* the address is the same as was in the original manual.
