Having never tried to use a boss node, I don't have a clue as to how one
goes about doing it.  You jumped into this conversation talking like you
knew something about it.  I just replied that if I can logon to a boss
node like, like I can logon to a BBS, you know type in your name and
password, follow the screen prompts to cause the boss node to send mail
to you, then Telemate's learn script feature can create a script.  That
is what I mean by manually logging on.  I know that some communications
programs like Terminate, for example, can do IEMSI logons.  I know that
some BBS's like the one my computer club operates will allow one to
logon either manually or via IEMSI protocol.  If a boss node does the
same thing, then Telemate learn script should be able to create a script
to take care of that.  However, Telemate does not support IEMSI like
Terminate does, so if one needs IEMSI to get onto a boss node, Telemate
is not the program for the job for the fellow who originally ask for
help.  Clear?
*See ya 'round the system, Tom*
