   If you are useing Major BBS and not WG then it will only see the 96mb of ram   
   till you use the 512mb to 95 then it will see 95mb ram... I think the old   
   bbs had a top in the programming to display only so much, because back then   
   we only had way less than 96mb of ram, at $100 for 1mb of ram most of use   
   couldn't do more than 10mbs. I do think that Btrieve could handle much more.   
   Also try useing your extended memory manager.

   Again I think it had a roof limt on the display.

   Yes their is a way to do that. You have to telnet through your WG to the   
   MBBS. You set this up in the menuing like: module:  Telnet to " My Major BBS   
   6.25 "  " Telnet 1.192.168.100 "
