[Coco] [Color Computer] BBS program for Hayes Modem

[Boisy G. Pitre]

Rainbow's Communications Issue always came out in the month of November, and I always looked forward to it.  Looking back and comparing it to the Internet and devices of today, the programs and functionality were rather primitive, but back then, with a modem you felt like you could touch the world.

I may have to pull out some old Rainbows today and thumb through them just for the rush!

Great memories indeed.

I think it had a sample one in the article.  It would of been one of the communications issues.  if you find the issue and then the rainbow on disk you may be set.      I don't have the rainbow's or coco's anymore, but that seemed to be the simplest that I recalled dealing with.

Any recommendations for a simple Disk Basic BBS program? Any direction to the DSK image on the web or in the CoCo disk archive CD (I have one from a few years back). Rainbow listing?
