Unfortunately, that's the way it is turning out...likewise, COM/IP is mostly 
reliable, but as with most such documentation of the sort, it presumes that 
you know how to configure it before you can read how to configure it.  
Fortunately, I've worked in the Fido environment, so it wasn't that 
rd...
I'm picking up some indications of something being available out of the 
former USSR that is in use, but my Russian skills are weak at best...and that 
mostly from bits and pieces picked up from a relative born and raised in a 
Polish emigre family.

A message indicates that the authors of ARGUS made an effort to contact Scott 
Dudley on interoperability, but I've only one side of the story, so I won't 
go further into details.
However, I am in contact with someone at RIT Labs, and we're going to see if 
we can't come up with something...no promises.
