JJ> shareware market, and is, when used with {COMMO}, far and away
JJ> better than 1st Reader/Mailer, BlueWave Reader/mailer, and the
JJ> current 'power' systems available. The door supports file
Oh yeah it's nice but I am a registered user of the Blue Wave
reader so I'm also kind of partial to that system as well. Now if I
can find the Blue Wave door that will work with RBBS... hmmm, maybe
I can kludge that one in as well since we have a lot of Blue Wave

Yep, it also has a vacation server in it as well! You can go on
vacation, request the sysop to set up the vacation schedule for you,

JJ> Mailer, that would be great. Ding dong, the wicked QWK is
JJ> dead. :)
Sure will, will have a post in this mail packet documenting what I
did to get it up and running. :)
Cheers and have a great day! From the Curmudgeon of MacroNet!
