 RS> "It" (TG) doesn't support Telnet any more than RG, RA, or any other
 RS> crappy 16-bit BBS software does. Sure, you can use a 3rd party FOSSIL

Telnet" any more

        Your the reason the bbs community is dead.  First your obviously
        ignorant as you don't know what your talking about.  First TG
        *DOES* support telnet.  I guess all those various TG systems
        that are telnet are just figments of my imagination?  Second
        you flame various softwares because YOU don't like them.  Too
        bad.  We can flame your software but we don't lower ourselves
        like that.  

 RS> TG doesn't "do telnet". It "does FOSSIL", and
3rd party FOSSIL drivers
 RS> can be utilitized to support Telnet for obsolete 16-bit BBS programs
 RS> like it.

       It does telnet.  Theres many Telnet systems out there.  It
       allows USER choice not predefined MUST USE this and that
       software.  Which makes it good software.  I rather have choice
       than be restricted to use some piece of software to do something
       like windows.  but oh wait yous ay 16 bit are dead.  Guess
       your on that windows bandwagon where windows rules.  Microsoft
       must love you!  Wrong again.  16 bit software is still widely
       used.  Just because YOU don't use it doesn't mean its dead.  

 RS> True 32-bit BBS packages that "do telnet" on Windows include
 RS> Synchronet (of course), EleBBS, Wildcat!, Mystic, BBBS, and WWIV v5.
 RS> There may be more, but TG ain't one of them.

     Correct in one area TG isn't 32 bit.  But otherwise it does
     telnet.

     BTW you do realize your on a ancient technology called Fidonet
     right?  Been around for a couple decades.  Not really been
     updated in technology.  Better get off.  It might tarnish you.

     So come back when you get a clue.  Cya!
