    Count me in as another Sysop who stopped using NovaLink and switched to
Hermes.  I resisted for quite some time, but when someone says NeverLinkPro,
they are right.  It has taken the NovaLink guys FOREVER to do anything.
Now there are problems with Hermes... like Frank keeps coming out with new
features without fixing old bugs... or the new features have new bugs, or the
new version introduces new bugs... overall though, it is a good system and
my users seem to be pleased with it.  I just couldn't wait any long for
the NovaLink boys to get ZModem going.
