I tried out quite a number of distro's. I was jumping from one to
another every week or two. I just wasn't getting anything done..
Eventually I narrowed it down to Slackware, Debian or Gentoo.

I couldn't choose between those so ultimately I think I just took the
easy way out.. :))

I have a question for you about Synchronet. Does your BBS use sexyz
as it's file transfer protocol? I ask because I have been trying to
use syncterm to transfer files with MBSE and I can't do it with
MBSE's (old standard) built in zmodem or sz/rz from debian.

I do zmodem files from various Synchronet BBSs though, yours
included with no problem. I'm just trying to narrow it down a
bit so I know where to look. If your BBS is using sexyz then I'll
know that is not the problem.

 Ttyl :-),
