Hello Chip.

I'm running WinXP on a PII/400 machine, with EleBBS (a RemoteAccess clone),
with NetFos as my fossil.  Since I don't have phone access, I use telnet
only, using EleBBS's own Eleserv as the telnet agent.

I tried to set up v4.06, but the error it kept giving me was "LoRD
must be started with start.bat (which I was doing).

According to Mike Ehlert, one of the anchor members of the EleBBS team:

ME>(This is mentioned in NETFOSS.DOC).

ME>You can request to download the latest beta version of LORD

ME>subject line of "send me lord" with no quotes."

Well, I sent the emails, and got no reply.  So, what can I do? I really
don't have any traffic to speak of, but maybe running LoRD will help
attract users.

Thanks.....

Bill
