Don't worry about him, Michael. He wouldn't know humour if
Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo rose up from their graves, slapped him
in the face, and flicked cigar ash on him.

Anyway, as long as you have the minicom package installed, you
should be good to go. Minicom contains rz and sz, which is what you'll
need.

So go on and have fun with your BBS on Slackware. The
distribution will prove solid for you. Oh, while you're having fun,
don't forget to fart every once in a while and blame it on the dog. The
rest of the masses will understand. ;)

BL.

Check my Sig line. I run Maximus for Linux. I have both Dialup
support and internet support. Front End is Binkleyterm XE for Linux as
well. Fidonet 1:142/7176
There are a few dialup bbs packages for Linux to consider. I
ran Synchronet 3.xx in the past but Rob Swindell got rid of direct
modem support, I wanted a maximus/squish bbs as it was similar to Opus
1.73 CBCS that I ran under Msdos years ago.
I used synchronet with a modem with a few shell scripts via
agetty. Current BBS is actually fired by the same scripts as the
dialup line is also for shell account users as well.
