- After re-reading what I wrote, I see where it sounds a bit misleading.
- The machine was running TBBS 2.2 on a 4.77MHz XT with a 1200 baud modem.
- The mention of DESQview was that the comparison of response time for the
- above system (from my experience)
- was faster than other BBSs running under DV that I have called (on machines
- that were apparently 386 or greater).
