   nope... FD has never allowed external protocol drivers because the protocols   
   used by FTN mailers are tweaked in certain ways to handle certain specifics of   
   FTN mailer transfer methods... ZedZap being a perfect example... zmodem   
   doesn't have variable sized "blocks" over 1024 bytes whereas ZedZap does...

   versipon? version? i think "version" now that i read it a few more times... at   
   first i thought it was some new program or tool :lol:   
      
   as for FD3, i don't know... kinda doubtful but until it comes out of   
   development, whenever that is, IF ever, we'll never know ;)
