   errrr,,, i don't see a setting for it in max's sbbs.ini file... i thought   
   there was one but looked, instead, at the ini file to double check myself...   
   i'm fairly sure that i did test it with her, in the past, too... now you have   
   me wondering wtf...   
      
   in any case, if SBBS has its own news server and it automatically renumbers,   
   then it has some method to keep the numbers straight... you can't easily do   
   that with a 3rd party server that doesn't keep up with them... JAMNNTPd is   
   such a 3rd party news server and i'm not aware of any other being available to   
   serve FTN messages...

   aww, crap... i found the settings for the SBBS news server in the services.ini   
   :rolleyes:   
   it just seems like it would be in sbbs.ini along with [BBS], [Mail], [FTP] and   
   [Web] :?

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it   
   wrong...
