- TBBS works with digiboards or Galactiboxes(whatever those things
- are that Galacticomm software uses). Digiboards are the choice to get,
- however, as they're cheaper and much better supported. They come in
- 4, 8, and 16 port flavores, and basicly are extended I/O cards with 4/8/16
- RS232 cables for external modems. You can definetly get away with 2 external
- DS on a "standard" I/O card, and might even be able to do well with a
- digiboard and one internal modem.

- The price is $895 for the base TBBS 16 line system. It also
- comes in 2, 32, and 64 line flavors.

- Even better than in RA! All of the above as well as nearly
- every internal text string.
