    TK> Is there a way to setup your email client to fetch your BBS mail?   
      
   that depends on the BBS software... it is likely also limited to only private   
   mail... private mail being FTN netmail which is similar to internet email...   
      
   FTN echomail is similar to internet news... some email clients also function   
   as news clients... some BBS systems offer their echomail areas in a news   
   format... the most common "problem" is that a BBS maintains the last read   
   pointers of its users... news cannot do that as there is no facillity to pass   
   that information from the client back to the server for storage... news   
   clients maintain their own last read pointers...

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it   
   wrong...
