  I am having MAJOR problems with the doors echoing across the LAN under
OS/2 Warp and GT. The only ones so far to work is a "Greeting"
door at logon, and the Ham Radio Doors by Dave Perry...a total of only 5
doors out of over 300...and I REFUSE to let over 300 registered doors go to
waste. If they won't echo out the LAN, there's little chance they'll echo
out otherwise...and it makes no sense to continue at this point. I can't
even get doors such as Trade Wars, L.O.R.D., BRE, etc. to work. 

  I was hoping to get things to work with the OS/2 setup that Sean built
for me...because of having to make changes with the Windows XP desktop
systems due to ham radio and weather application requirements (I am heavily
involved in both in the central Arkansas area). But, I may end up combining
things on one of the XP systems...and wait for Tom Watt to get a release
with Windows for telnet. He has been overly busy with work and other
commitments, and hasn't had time to work on GT lately.

  I DOUBT the problems are with the system that Sean built...but with the
way GT was INITIALLY designed. I NEVER had problems with it under DOS,
DESQView, OS/2, or Windows as a SINGLE NODE DIAL-UP ONLY BBS. 

  I wish that the documentation for a GT multi-node setup had not been so
vague...that's the main gripe I've had with the software. In fact, Paul
Meiners, GT's original author, admitted that "he wrote terrible
documentation". I have followed the documentation with GT, plus advice
from Mike Powell, with setting things up. But, it's like finding a needle
in a haystack to get things to work right.

  However, I'm dealing with the yearly rent recertification process, two
upcoming inspections at the apartment complex where I live (several of
those are done every year...2 coming up before Thanksgiving), and a
disability evaluation right now. So, I'm going to take a break from BBS
work for awhile...except for the answering of echomail and netmail...and
the BBS will remain "closed" to users until further notice.

  I can't afford to get evicted for failing either the recertification,
disability evaluation, or inspections. If that happens, the BBS will be the
least of my worries.
