   Re: Vircom DMA Server.

   mbrad, there was a Vircom TCP/IP for allowing incoming connections to WG2. Wg   
   had it built it, but it was pretty garbage .. I got it working and it was   
   slooooow.   
      
   The DMA server allowed you to have 2 computers both running WG2 or MBBS Dos   
   based, but transparently using RLogin (DMA incoming connection) you could   
   select a door game from the menu that would transparently log you into a 2nd   
   machine - allowed for    
   clustering.  It was great when WG3 came out and people still wanted to run   
   their DOS games without having to setup 2 BBS'.   
      
   The users would still be able to use global command from the parent BBS and   
   page, global chat, view user list as if they were part of the parent BBS, but   
   they were on the 2nd.  I had one edited mud running on my DOS, and a legit non   
   edited on my WG3    
   front end and Mutants on my DMA server..    
      
   I looked through all my old hard drives years ago and couldn't find my dma   
   server HD anywhere :(
