   Hi All,
	  I was wondering if there was anyone who could tell me if 
there are any PD/SW BBS programs that are Fido Compatable?  ie letting
you send and recieve fido net mail?
    I know the comercial programs now do, but what about the PD/SW ones.
    Another thing I am after is info, reviews (your personal ones 
especially) and tips on Amiga PD / SW BBS programs.  Which is best?
Info on programs such as TAG, Metro and any others much appreciated!
    Information from Sysops currently running these systems most valued!

    Where fido compatablity is not available, are there any options 
regarding pointing to a BBS and (some how?) cross posting them to a
/your BBS running a non fido node?   Sound like one way to do it?!?  
But as of now I'm not sure how!   Has anyone done this?  Idea's from
Fido points would be helpful.
   
    Thanks, and hear from you soon!
