We didn't have any additional software that we distributed for ProLine. Have fun! @marco: The disks posted here are all you need to get a complete system up and going.

I've got it running on an apple IIE that I want to put online. Do you remember if other discs were done apart from the version 3.0 you posted here? Or in another words the SW is entirely contained here in these two IMG? This is super cool.

I actually did this a few years ago and was astounded by the speed. Running the installer was incredible. What used to take half an hour with 3.5" discs grinding away completed in mere seconds.

I'll just have to see what emulators are available and what each can do. Mostly, I just want to see a *nix-ish system on an Apple 2. Is that so wrong? :-) Well… No harm trying, I suppose.

A IIe with a Super Serial Card still needs a custom RS-232C cable for DCD (carrier detect). I don't think you can emulate that. But even better, I think there are some Apple IIGS emulators out there. That would make a much better emulated ProLine system. Emulation won’t work since you’re limited to hardware.

Well, the //c is the only model I actually own... but I suppose I could [cough cough] emulate a different model... or something. (Thanks for the source.)

It's fixed now. No, ProLine will not run on a //c because it lacks necessary hardware support in the serial port for detecting modem carrier signal. Apple chose to not provide all the standard RS-232C inputs on the //c, and so that makes it fine for being a terminal, but not for being a BBS. @Erik, thanks for the alert about the bad link.

I'd like to get my hands on it if possible. Two things.
