           OK, wait me out a little...  I got out of BW and did a
  search for *xti and my system is pure, there is none. Remember, I am
  on BW2.30 DOS and have XP Pro as the OS and maybe it is not required
  as opposed to your system.

 BC> What is the telnet address to Doc's Place? 

        I access it via : bbs.docsplace.tzo.com.  Have at it.
