Hi Daryl,

Dale Barnes is still working on the software/process (email and netmail 
submissions). He's in touch with number of us and had us send in "test" records 
so it seems to be moving along :)  I am so thankful for the work Dale is doing.

Do you mean the email issues of the fidogazette, or just downloading various 
files,etc. ?  Perhaps you are using the wrong port to grab the files?  Here are 
the ports I'm using here:

 WebBBS: Filegate.net:8090/bbbs
 Telnet: filegate.net:2030
 FTP: filegate.net:6072

...and then some days life gets completely bonkers here, and I don't have a 
chance to update web pages at filegate.net ... this week was one of "those" 
weeks.  Ron found out via an MRI and other testing that he's got arthritis in 
his spine.  It's started causing incredible pain.. so much so that he can't 
even sit at the dinner table for more than about 10 minutes.. he'll probably 
have to have surgery or an injection of steroids in his spine to get some 
relief..

Take care,
Janis
