Actually, FidoNet support is in the next version of SkyLine after 1.4. SkyLine is tremendously customizable to the SysOp through the use of ARexx programs that can interface with the main BBS program's ARexx port. In the latest version, you can even change all the system messages, like the good 'ol Your Time Limit Has Expired and the rest of SkyLine's system messages. The program, in my view, is VERY consistent. The only problem I see with it is the way it handles high speed modems > 2400 baud. This has supposedly been fixed, but in the past, it was horrible. -- | husc6!m2c!wpi!jdutka | "Hey, baby - wanna do some HEAT TRANSFER? | | jdutka@wpi.wpi.edu | Heh, heh, heh!" | | jdutka@wpi.bitnet | -Mechanical Engineers On The Prowl | | John Dutka _________|_____________________________________________________|
