   No, I didn't know that but it's a VERY long time since I ran a BBS. The     
   last BBS software I ran was ProBoard back in the mid 90's. The first BBS     
   sofware I ever tried was QuickBBS(or maybe it was QBBS?) on the Atari-ST,     
   WOW, remember that! :))   
      
    SD> I am also a member of the MBSE BBS Development Team.   
      
   Oh, how very interesting :)   
      
   There's a known connectivity issue between OpenXP and MBSE which has never     
   been resolved. Unfortunately, I don't remember the exact details now but     
   someone else in here may have a better memory than I ..... cue August :-)

   Excellent!   
      
    SD> Thanks to you and Gunter (I hope that's right) for all of your efforts.   
      
   Thank you for your kind words and I'd like to take this opportunity to     
   extend a BIG thank you to August for what he's contributed towards the     
   development of OpenXP over the last 18 months. In fact, it's highly     
   unlikely that some of the bugs he's found would *ever* have been found     
   without him. And then there's the ideas, new feature requests etc. etc.   
      
   Thank you August, you're a Star!   
      
   Regards,   
   Martin
