However, don't expect any help on getting it set up. You will be on your own. The documentation describes what has to be changed but not really how to use it. No user manual, so to speak. It also doesn't work with some of the FidoNet mailers. And lately FidoNet has been some resistent to becoming an integral part of the other network communities. I find the attitude disappointing and myopic. We have been told to look at waffle, but waffle is a full blown BBS. However, someone seems to say that waffle can be used as a gateway. Generally, there are very few on FidoNet who know how to gateway to usenet, so you have a lot of work to do on your own. cheers, -chip * Work: 2912 Wake Forest Road, Raleigh, NC 27609 (919) 850-5011 * (...!mcnc!aurgate!roberson) || (roberson%aurgate@mcnc.org) || * (71500.2056@CompuServe.com) || (Chip.Roberson@f112.n151.z1.fidonet.org) #include
