Yeah, I saw it. But Internet is different than Fidonet in operation.
If a user on a bbs has a password, then anybody trying to log onto that
same bbe under that same name HAS to have that person's password. Two
users can't have the same name and different passwords (unless the sysop
allows it, which is definitely not a good thing to do).
Anyway, I'm still following up on this problem, and haven't gotten ANY
answers from that side of the country yet. But I have hopes that they'll
wake up over there soon...
