        Think it did QWK since 2.9 if I recall...

        No FAQs that I know of.

     I've had no desire or need to set this up but it should be
     fairly easy to work around.

     Assuming a basic Internet transport (ie Irex) that's half
     the work.

     Take a look at command.ref there is your clues how to get
     it and using the user account.  I assume you'll have to
     make the account in TG but I'm not sure.

     So with all that it should be easy to write up some batch
     files to moe the uatomated download packets to some dir
     and then use irex to transport.









... Bad DM!: Gee, thanx.  As if having two arms was challenging enough!
