Shows you how damned primitive these point systems are, if it was a BBS
door you could just allocate them a point number online, they have the
lot in a single call.

How interfaceable are the RSP generators ?  Is it possible to respond to
a FREQ for say a particular or missing MAGIC name, with the user name
stuff in the FREQ message, and send them back an RSP with their just
allocated point number ?
