I agree 100%, and I run the thing!  The problem was when I switched versions
of software that actually did the mail transferring (I switched from Fido to
Opus as the BBS software).  I made the switch in early October, and just
recently was able to make the gateway function properly.  All mail that had
built up at each end was then pumped through the gateway, and it is now up
and running full time.  I now run a Microport System V/AT UNIX on my AT,
then copy the files into the DOS partition for transfer to my BBS.  It is
all working quite nicely now, and all of the hardware/software to run the
gateway is now in my control (unless I lose my UUCP connection at some
point).
