Definetly faster and more reliable.  Easier?  I suppose it could be but at
the moment much of the other stuff is still stuck way back before y2k so it
still has some funkiness to take into account.  My last attempt to liberate
myself wasn't too shabby but needed some work which kind of fell by the
wayside after the Vancouver connection for the node died (Gordon Lewicky). 
After that I got kicked out of the local BC network and later resurfaced in
net 140.  Now rethinking the strategy there as ftp isn't an option
unfortunetly.

It isn't an issue at the moment.

Right.  We're using a binkp connection there and so far it has been okay
other then local crashes due to power outages.  I don't have it automated
as I kept running into clashes with the local networks but I think I've now
got that fixed and will probably automate it now ... if I keep it that is. 
Still rethinking everything.

I hear ya!  I have been lazy with the Fido stuff myself but in my defence
have been picking away at both 32-bit and 64-bit development systems and
bringing those into sync.  Not anything to do with Fido ... yet. 


Life is good,
