 MvLe> Are you running a shady or top-secret bbs or something ?

no... why would you think that??

 MvLe> Those /real/ sysops you referred need to get with the times. 

all i'm saying is don't cripple the existing system such that the existing
ways and means no longer work... add new features and capabilities in
addition to what's already there... if you want to allow for someone to
give their IP number or website address, by all means do so... in another
field in the user database... if there's not an existing field for that
purpose, then add one... that's what upgrades and enhancements are all
about...

until POTS lines are completely done away with, there's no reason to gimp
software that works with them...
