   I believe that there is either a built-in BW door in EleBBS or one that   
   works with it.  I've used that on other bbses running EleBBS.

   There is a difference between QWK and BW...  Bluewave doors produce BW   
   offline packets, which can be read only in BlueWave or BW-compatible   
   readers.  The BW (or compatible) readers also read and generate QWK   
   packets, so they can be used with other bbses that only have some sort   
   of QWK packets, such as Wildcat.  I'm using my BW reader right now to   
   answer this message.  As it happens, it is going to be going to a BW   
   door, so will stay in a BW format.  If I were replying from one of my   
   backup bbs packets, it likely could have been in a QWK format, as some   
   of them don't have BW, just QWK.  As a user that relies heavily on doing   
   things offline, I Thank You very much for offering the option.  :)  If I   
   were to visit your bbs, offline capability is one thing I look for. :)
