Hi Joe,

Re: BlueWave, I have been using this "capture" batch file because
it seems to be the easiest way to read everything offline.  I guess that
qualifies it as an offline reader.  I have only one phone line and I'm on
the BBS and/or the Internet between 6:00 and 8:00 AM.  On the BBS I select
the ReadNonStop option which flashes the messages across the screen, and on
a daily basis is finished in about 1 to 3 min., depending on how heavy the
traffic has been.  All the messages are captured for offline reading and
I'm rarely on the BBS for more than 5 minutes. I'm sold on reading offline
even though this method may not be the best. :)

I use pretty much the same procedure for the Internet (more time for
surfing, but it's paid for).....no problems with the phone co.  Heck,my
wife spends an hour or more on the phone per sister or friend. :)

.....Mike
