Hi Robert,

You didn't waste "any" time getting and testing that mod.  Going
back through 
some of the messages on PhPBB's website regarding that Mod, it appears as 
though others have had that same problem.

I think it would be better -- and likely easier -- to implement an executable 
tosser of sorts that could import/export from/to an NNTP server and toss it to 
PhpBB's MYSQL database.  I think it's easier using the NNTP server because one 
doesn't have to go back and try to figure out all of those fidonet kludges, 
one could let the NNTP server sort that stuff out instead.  It could be a 
simple import/export utility that could run on top of other applications (like 
in a tray environment of sorts).  Heck, I think that would be a good add-on 
for Internet Rex!
