   Hi Dave,   
      
   I'm the sysop for Agency BBS. If you want to try SynchTerm you can grab a   
   copy from my website http://bbs.geek.nz/files/syncterm.zip    
      
   The software plays nice on XP and later versions of Windows   
      
   Run the bat file in the .zip called call-agency-bbs.bat batch file to get   
   connected :-)   
      
   Best, Paul
