   Hi Ozz,   
      
   ON> I wonder why they have not implemented at least a couple WiFi   
   ON> drivers.   
      
   One can really wonder because the original PCB modem seems to handle   
   both landline and Internet connections via the laptops built-in antenna.   
      
   I did use the Internet access in a Lenovo until its UART gave up.   
      
   ON> Anyway, this is the 2nd post to the FTN type networks from PCBoard   
   ON> Version 16. I do not have (R)eply coded yet... as I was waiting for   
   ON> my test partner to reply to my previous post 2 hours ago. So, if you   
   ON> get this and you see any thing wrong please let me know (Good or   
   ON> Bad).   
      
   I don't use the built-in reply function. I download the messages as QWK   
   packets and then use the MR/2 reader/editor (highly recommended) to read   
   and reply. After I'm finished with the mail I upload the replies as QWK   
   packets.   
      
   For down/uploading the packets I use a 3rd-party PPE (QWKSCAN) program   
   because I found the original PCB utilities a bit cumbersome. Of course   
   one can get used to them.   
      
      
   Have a nice day,   
      
   Holger
