DE> Well, I grabbed OLMS 2001 from your URL (even though the menu

Menus here are in my language, there is a separate directory with
ans/asc files for each of them, must be updated manually. In english,
maybe it's hardcoded default, I don't remember...

About the messages, I think my stock of suggestions is empty.

That's the worst part, having the system better and better, less
and less used... today I've usually 1-2 direct calls/day here, 12
different users called in the last 30 days. More 13 that receive
qwk or bw packets attached in email (olms+transx+.bat's) without
iteractive calling. Actual "production" is 300-400 msgs/month. Not
100% desert yet, but in 1997 I had +1000 calls/month, max of 1601
in oct/1997 (+50/day) with one node.
