Thanks for the information.  I was curious as to how other QWK
configuration were setup.

Sadly, I need the source code to WWIVMail to fix the issue I'm having.  It
would be a simple fix.  

The issue is WWIVMail uses various "Baud Rates" to determine the
max messages for a QWK packet.  Since I have my BBS setup using no baud
rates and a result code of "Telnet", it ignores those lines and
has no max.

If I could obtain the source to WWIVMail, it could be updated.

In the meantime, my WWIV version has an internal QWK feature by using //QWK
at the menu.  That works well - but would like to update WWIVMail to
provide more options.
