                       BBS REVIEW

This is a brand new idea which the guy Fredrik Kenmo gave to me!
It is a very good idea,reviews of Bulletin Board Systems!
That is why I begin to review his BBS,named Tullinge BBS.There will
surely be more reviews next time,but in this issue I hadn演 too
much time,so I漓e decided to review just ONE BBS this time!

TBBS
----
TBBS is a bulletin board in Tullinge,Sweden.The Sysop漳 name is
Fredrik Kenmo and he漳 got two asst.sysop漳:Juan Irming (a member
of SYNC) and another guy whose name I can演 remember at the moment...
Sorry!
He drives the BBS on a Macintosh (2 I think) and a 2400 baud rate
modem.The BBS program is Red Ryder Host 2.0.
A little time ago he upgraded something on the computer so that it
would go 40 times faster! And that is VERY FAST!
The BBS supports Amiga,ST and Macintosh users.

He漳 got around 400 users and a few of them are from other countries,
such as Denmark and Belgium.And therefore TBBS has special message
areas ONLY for the people from other countries than Sweden.

Well Online games then?? Yes,in TBBS you will find the most wonderful
online games,such as Wrestling or Dungeons.
But if you want to play these online games,you槌l have to pay a 
small fee.For 20 Swedish KR you will get access to all online games
+ extra time on the BBS-1 hour.This because the Sysop doesn演 want
to pay alone for the online games (they are very expensive if you
want to buy them).

The message areas are not too filled,even though there are so many
users.That is very strange,I don演 understand what people do
in this BBS...Play online games maybe?
One very good thing with the message areas is this:if you write a 
message in TBBS,then that message will be in another BBS the next
week or something like that.And in the same way letters from 
other BBS漳 will come to TBBS.That system is called Fidonet and
I think it is a very good idea of how to get more letters to your
BBS even if nobody wants to write letters!! 

The file areas have not so many programs.That漳 sad,people just
take programs but don演 give any,so the Sysop has to feed the
users all the time (I榦 talking about the ST areas,I don演 know
the state in other areas).

Well,there are even more functions than I have told you here.But 
I don演 have capacity to write more...I榦 too tired...

Ok,the grades for this BBS are:

Fileareas       60%

Message areas   75%

Online games    85%

Speed           100% 

Baud rate       100% * 

Overall         75%


* = Baud rate means that 2400 baud is very good for a Atari/mac BBS.

Ok,that漳 all! Call this BBS because it is not bad!

 The number is
