  • Platinum Xpress

    From AKAcastor@21:1/162 to All on Thursday, May 23, 2024 18:59:48
    Anybody ever run Platinum Xpress? For DOS or Windows? How about Winserver?

    I'm just curious to learn more about this line of software and what it's like to use and where it was used. I don't think I ever actually saw Platinum Xpress myself.

    I see that santronics.com is still online, and in the support area on winserver.com there was a post from "Winserver Support" just last month, so I guess it hasn't been entirely abandoned. Though it doesn't appear particularly active either, and some links on the website have broken.

    I paid for a hard copy of the .12 installer for 8.0 and I feel underwhelmed. If I was not in wwivnet, I would likely move to SYnchronet.

    Look at Talisman BBS - it has wwivnet support built in. I used it when
    I ran Talisman and it worked perfectly.

    the wwivnet hub is down, and i do have an install of talisman configured, but its not that easy for beginners to utilize.

    I found it pretty easy to configure. Feel free to ask any questions
    and if I don't know the answer I"m sure someone does.
