Yes, I knew several guys that used DesqView for running multi-node BBS's. Before DesqView, it wasn't uncommon for multi-node BBS guys to have a Novel server and one PC per modem per phone line.
I played with but didn't run it - I was running Maximus on OS/2 at the time :)
- sixothree 5y agoI ran a BBS using DESQview on an 80286 with a Rampage memory card. It connected nightly to the Fido BBS "Southern Star". Very cool stuff for the time. DESQview was a huge help maintaining the board while it was actually running, and especially for the nightly tasks. edit: I should add, the BBS software was Maximus.
