Thanks for the update.  I liked GT when I ran it, but the internet soon
made it not viable for what I was wanting to do, that is an Internet
presence and also run the standard BBS.  I can wait.  I wouldn't mind
trying out any beta (except dial up).  I need to test the telnet.  When
that is ready for testing I would be glad to help out.
