Fun fact: Before I ran Renegade for many years I ran WWIV briefly
and then SuperBBS from I think 1.12 to 1.17-3 until they went into
the finnish military (?). SuperBBS was the reason I joined FidoNet.

All the best versions of it :) I'm not sure what happened to Risto, he was the
programming end of things, Aki was the one that ended up doing military service. And yeah they're Finns..

Not long after I fired up TLP for another run, I had both log in and leave messages. Unfortunately that was before the great crash of 2018 :/ So I don't have them still.

I wanted to run Telegard but the only local BBS that I knew had TG
2.5 refused to share it, and I had no idea how to get it. I thought SuperBBS was the next best BBS software at the time.

Locally I never saw Telegard or many others. QuickBBS, Celerity, RA, and Super
seemed to be the staples when I first started up, for a while it was swap from
RA to Super every new version. Early on you could just take the menus and screens with you. In the end the decision was made to stick with one and that was Super.

Anyway sorry for the nostalgia but seeing a SuperBBS tear line was
pretty cool (plus I've had a few drinks tonight). It really takes
me back to the days when I was learning how to use DOS.

Its good to chew the fat and reminisce from time to time. Makes me feel I've got something to look forward to if I have to lose SuperBBS for some reason. Be
well..

Well these are display pipe codes, maybe superBBS doesn't support
them?

SuperBBS doesn't know anything about them, this is probably as old as you're going to find out there... predating ezycom. I wouldn't worry overly that I personally can't see them. But I am wondering what actually goes wrong where.
Are the codes interpreted by the BBS or the client? If its meant to be the client, then Super is doing something weird to them, and I was trying to figure
out what that may be. If its the BBS thats meant to interpret and send ansi codes then Super just isn't going to do it, and I'll just continue to ignore it.

I'm in the grand minority of one, so don't let the fact that I can't see them interfere to much with your regular BBS operations.

The BBS interprets it and sends ANSI codes

Ahhh thank-you.. so there is absolutely nothing I can do about it, and I'll pull my head back in and enjoy all the pipes and numbers :)

Bad thing about these boxes is they don't include the

power supply on

PS: I find the plugs are harder to find than a power

supply.

True. Before I start searching...start at some of the thrift stores...since most of them have no idea what the stuff on their
shelves is really worth. For instance...found a $350 US bread maker
for $8. Still have it & use it.

Gack I'm having a run on the IIe I'm a bit rusty and this isn't the software I'm used to. Good work with the bread maker. There's an odd shop just down the road from here.... They never tend to have anything I want so I don't look often and it falls off my radar. Will have to make another visit.

PS: Reall got to get the regular terminal happening.
