DLG is Dialog Professional, but they had to change the name as
there's an information service already using the name
Dialog.  It's *HIGHLY* commercial, costin in excess of
$200 dollars.  It requires Trapdoor to be FIDO compatible.
I don't have a phone number availble.  Try reading an Amiga
echo and you'll see a tag line with a number.  The program
is only available from it's author.

[personal opinion follows]

I think DLG Pro sucks.  And that's not because I run
Paragon since I think other BBS programs such as TransAmiga
are quite good.  I don't like the mesage format, I don't
like not having a native mailer, I think it costs WAY too
much (especially for requiring the shareware program
Trapdoor to be FIDO compatible), and I dont care for the
attitude of the author.

[personal opinion over]
