Yeah, fx. scrolling the recent activity, in the manual it says that
Ctrl-Pageup / Ctrl-Pagedown should do it, by be is a keycode for Ctrl-

Well it would be hard, because Qico i a bit rewritten, but fx. nodelist
format is the same. Whitch i hates, what's wrong about V7?

BTXE is suprising one then it DISCONNECT i just do it :) Maybe that whitch
feels a long time.. I would be nice with somekind of vmodem thing for BTXE,
i tried with modemu, but i didn't work out..
