Why weren't you guys on the FIDONET ECHO when Jim sent out plea after plea for help? All he ever got is silence and all he ever sees on that echo is more please for help. Since I knew the USENET side of things I was trying to help Jim set up UFGATE but I don't know very much about the internals of fidonet mailers and message formats. If we could have received just one response to our requests for help, maybe our results would have matched yours. However, that was not the case. To date, my impression of Fidonet echos is *much* lower than that of USENET newsgroups. If anyone wants to continue this, let's take it off-line and not annoy the members of this newsgroup.
