   I got it to poll finally by doing a little tinkering.  I am thinking of running   
   Telegard/2 in replacement since I already run BBBS for Win32.  You know, a   
   little more variety, spice of life.  I will have to take a look at IREX.  What   
   mailer do you use with Telegard/2?  I was looking for Telegard earlier, wasn't   
   sure if I wanted to run it on my Win32 machine or in an OS/2 VM.  One thing I   
   like about VM I like is that it's easier (with time) to make a backup of the   
   whole OS (including all the files).  I've been using VirtualBox for awhile now   
   and love it.  I didn't make any changes to BBBS as far as AT commands, just the   
   default.  Yet, it still works.  I'm using Virtual Modem (which I'm considering   
   registering) for more than 2 nodes.  My question is how might I use othernets   
   besides Fidonet (Z1).  I use the   
      
   [ftndomains]   
   ^[1-6]: fidonet   
   ^316: whispnet   
   ^10: league10   
      
   Yet, it still reads as one zone when connecting to BinkD.  That doesn't work   
   for me like the Win32/Linux build does.  I'll see if Kim has an OS/2 update.   
      
   Anyway, BBBS/2 and BinkD (Linux build) work pretty good together for me.   
      
   Thanks for the response.
