   no, the dos version can not access more than 16 megs of ram.   
   this is from the dos extender it uses. the software is quite   
   a work horse. it likes dos because of it's low level hardware   
   routines and it's database engine. 1 pc will run as many lines   
   as your hardware can support. the older digiboards could have   
   4 64 port boards in one computer. mbbs and worldgroup was way   
   ahead of any other bbs in it's days. I was a co on a mbbs bbs   
   out here that ran 4 16 port bocaboards in one machine. was a   
   great chat system back then.
