   That's what I was thinking. Unless using some sort of BBS package that /only/   
   handles JAM message bases would I see that any kind of problem.

   I thought you were saying that's what you may have to do at first seeing as   
   though the current config program wasn't playing nice with the recompiles?

   What I would like to know (and I was wondering the same about HPT), is if say   
   I were to do a rescan from another system, and I was using either FMail or   
   HPT, if my system would then spit that entire rescan out to my other links?   
      
   I avoided doing any kind of rescan to this new hub because I was worried about   
   that, and didn't want to do a rescan before adding all my links to the config.   
   Is there some sort of identifier in the message header or body that would tell   
   FMail or HPT it was a rescanned message and not to process it to other links?   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
