    ml> umm... you have to have a bbs to run a door of any kind ;)   
   True. I was hoping to set something up as a cron job if possible.

   That pretty much describes my current system = binkd/hpt/htick/msged. Light   
   weight   
   & easy to manage. I tried to get golded setup but it wouldnt run. Limnited   
   time    
   so I stayed close to what I know.   
      
    ml> you don't say what OS you're running on your desktop... the above is    
    ml> pretty generic but geared toward winwhatever... for linux, hpt,    
    ml> binkd, and golded are what i'm using... i don't even use a nodelist    
      
   My desktop is mac osx but also use Win7 vm. The fido system is a CentOS7 vps   
   box.    
      
    ml> Always Mount a Scratch Monkey   
      
   After a few months in the field, I find myself mounting most anything!!
