Hi, Mike-

Here's what I've done:

- Put in a fresh install of BW 3.20 (OS/2 native version)
- Made sure my PRM setting was right (for me: SET MAXIMUS=D:\MAX\NODE1.PRM)
- Went into BWSETUP2 and BW saw the right PRM
- Entered my packet name (NSBBS1)
- Went to message areas and still got "no valid message areas!"

I think the problem is how I've got my message areas setup as I use divisions.

For example, on my BBS, this echo would be found under Fido.Bluewave.

Shawn said he used the DOS version with his Max/2 setup.  He did send me
the setup and while I've not looked at it yet, I'm going to check it.

Ideas?  If need be, I can show you some of my config files via netmail.

Later,
Sean
