    EV@> TTBOMK it was You Two who toyed with the idea of transferring GT Net   
    EV@> Mail Packets over the Internet and passed the technique over to FIDONET   
    EV@> SysOps.   
      
    EV@> So I'm sure You All can figure it out and get it working as it should.   
      
     A new problem has cropped up. VADV32's FIDONet tosser, VFIDO, is    
   apparently once again sending out duplicate MSGID's -- I had netmail   
   routing problems with it awhile back.   
      
     The options I have (most to least desireable) are as follows:   
      
   1) Try to switch the FIDONet style message networks to QWK   
   NETWORKING -- but not every FIDONet network has that. It    
   would be a hassle to switch this, as well as the hubs for   
   such.   
      
   2) REMOVE all the message networks, and make the BBS a   
   LOCAL MESSAGE BOARD only. The rest of the BBS would remain   
   the same.   
      
   3) Look into switching BBS software...but my options here   
   are limited:   
      
   a) GT Power does have telnet...but no website interface, and   
   no capability for email. Plus, I don't care for its QWK Mail   
   setup.   
      
   b) Synchronet crashed on me big time in late July...and with   
   the lack of support and documentation for Mystic, I really   
   don't want to mess with them.   
      
   c) There are so few telnet/web BBS packages out there anymore,   
   and I really don't want to have to learn a whole new setup;   
   never mind paying exhorbitant registration fees for some of   
   these packages.   
      
   3) Say "the hell with it", and shut everything down after   
   25+ years of Sysoping, virtually ending BBSing in Arkansas.   
      
     I don't know how long it will take to get a reply from   
   the developer of VADV32 (Steve Winn), or if anything can   
   be done. But, the future of the BBS hinges on it.
