I never heard of QWK networks,        KR> QWK is a point to point protocol between a BBS and an offline user. It        KR> takes a snapshot of new unread messages from the BBS msgbase and pack it        KR> into the QWK file. Due to the limitations i don't think that the QWK        KR> format is suitable for message base requirements. But maybe the QWK thing        KR> you are talking about is totally different.                     When I first started with my BBS (PCBoard at the time), QWK networking was the       only way. It worked very well, and I even did Fido that way, until we found a       way to use other methods. and then eventually it was built into the BBS program       --- SBBSecho 2.27-Win32        * Origin: The Lions Den BBS, Trenton, On, CDN (1:249/303)    |
