Hello Dale,

On Thursday June 20 2019 02:34, you wrote to Henri Derksen:

The XX indicates that you support Wazoo type file requests and file update
requests. File requests can not be routed and you do not accept direct calls...

fts-5001 par 5.4

So you say. But three days ago you wrote:

A BBS is a server. So what is it?

What is the point of running a BBS if you do not accept incoming calls? Why do
I (again) get the impression that you are not telling the full story?

The MO flag makes no sense either if you do run a BBS but accept no incoming
calls.

Cheers, Michiel
