UPDATE: When trying to save the new list I always get "permission denied" I also cannot change 'permissions' as I am not the owner. ??? Hi, I would like to try out pcmanX 1.3 BBS Client but the BBS's listed are all in Chinese. I went to a site telnetbbsguide.com and downloaded a list, then...

Thanks Leo for all your help. Much appreciated. .................................................................................................................................................

To install AF9+ I click on the msi file within Windows and it uninstalls there and then I install program, register it and then make copies of system roms from c:/Users/Public/Documents/Amiga files/Shared/rom Copy kickstart files to USB st...

But not finding an easy way to run it I started thinking maybe I'll never get to try it out. Clicking on the link I pasted from the previous post I thought I would be directed to...

<r>Thanks for all your help. I' will now transfer all my energy into figuring out how to use SyncTERM. <br/> I've joined the Syncronet BBS Facebook group as of last night.
