   Not really meaning to talk to myself, just saw this and it triggered a   
   question. My /301 system at the house is currently running POP.OZZ (ie. I   
   recompiled it and started cleaning up the code) in a DOS Box and my USB 56k   
   Modem. It is running Windows 10/32bit Host - running Husky and GoldED+/W32 so   
   I can communicate to the world instead of having to telnet into Carol's   
   system. And then back in the DOS Box is QuickBBS v2.81-GA2 (ie. I recompiled   
   QuickBBS to use Squish to co-exist with (A) all years messages and (B) GoldED   
   and Husky).   
      
   * So that is the environment of 301, the question(s) are:   
   1. I want to have the correct FLAGS, and not bloviate - so on this list:   
    [ ]    V21       ITU-T V21      300 bps full duplex   
    [ ]    V22       ITU-T V22     1200 bps full duplex   
    [ ]    V29       ITU-T V29     9600 bps half duplex   
    [ ]    V32       ITU-T V32     9600 bps full duplex   
    [ ]    V32b      ITU-T V32bis 14400 bps full duplex   
    [ ]    V33       ITU-T V33   
    [ ]    V34       ITU-T V34    28800 bps full duplex   
    [ ]    H96       Hayes V9600   
    [ ]    HST       USR Courier HST up to 9600   
    [ ]    H14       USR Courier HST up to 14400   
    [ ]    H16       USR Courier HST up to 16800   
    [ ]    MAX       Microcom AX/96xx series   
    [ ]    PEP       Packet Ensemble Protocol   
    [ ]    CSP       Compucom Speedmodem   
    [ ]    ZYX       Zyxel series   
    [ ]    VFC       V.Fast Class   
    [ ]    V32T      V.32 Terbo   
    [ ]    V42       ITU-T LAP-M error correction w/fallback to MNP 1-4   
    [ ]    V42b      ITU-T V.42 LAP-M plus V.42bis BTLZ data compression   
    [ ]    MNP       Microcom Networking Protocol error correction   
      
   Which ones inherit other once... like I assume V22 for example implies V21? I   
   am trying to make a simple matrix form for others - but need the first round   
   for myself ;-)   
      
   2. Right now, I picked up mail from 275/100 addressed to my first BBS system   
   as 275/362 w/ AKA 275/300. To get it to my 301 BBS at home, up until today I   
   just bounced the PKTs over and ran 362 as my AKA. As of tonight, since I am   
   posting replies to everyone, I has set everything back to /301 destination   
   /300, which should send that to /100. The question is (to make sure I do not   
   foobar)... Is /301 support to put in the seen-by /301 and /300 only? And then   
   my /300 support to append /362 and /100 and push to 100? I am not 100% sure I   
   have HUSKY setup correctly, and want to make sure my tosser (I wrote) on /300   
   catches anything from me that is incorrect.   
      
   * And since I took the tie to describe /301's setup... anyone familiar with   
   Rick's GameSvr, or some other solution that will allow me to run DOS games   
   under 32bit Windows/DOSBox environment? (Eventually Rhenium goes back online,   
   my 32bit/64bit FTN Mailer) but I want to support some of the old DOS BBS doros   
   - like Chess, for my father who loves to play... and the old Chess DOOR I   
   found is dead 16bit Fossil only.   
      
   Thanks for ANY/ALL *positive* feedback ;-)
