errrr,,, i don't see a setting for it in max's sbbs.ini file... i thought there
was one but looked, instead, at the ini file to double check myself... i'm
fairly sure that i did test it with her, in the past, too... now you have me
wondering wtf...

in any case, if SBBS has its own news server and it automatically renumbers,
then it has some method to keep the numbers straight... you can't easily do
that with a 3rd party server that doesn't keep up with them... JAMNNTPd is such
a 3rd party news server and i'm not aware of any other being available to serve
FTN messages...

[time passes]

aww, crap... i found the settings for the SBBS news server in the services.ini
:rolleyes:
it just seems like it would be in sbbs.ini along with [BBS], [Mail], [FTP] and
[Web] :?
