   Hi Charles,

   Then you would also need to login to your account on the BBS.

   I was thinking about the regular newsgroups, that are sometimes gated to and   
   from fidonet. (The CBM area is one example)

   I still think that naming it gating covers it better than calling it a telgram   
   BBS. ;)   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
