That would cover the public message areas, but what about        things like files and door games? Door games in particular are still        fairly popular.              Also, for the type of app you're describing, I think the BBS server        software would likely need to specially support that, too. Some BBS        software (such as Synchronet) has a built-in NNTP server, which may work        with an app like that, but NNTP is probably not an optimal protocol for        that purpose.              Eric       --- SBBSecho 2.32-Win32        * Origin: Digital Distortion: digdist.synchro.net (1:340/7)    |
