What would be the point of starting a project designed for one network on a network that has absolutely nothing to do with the other? If something like what you're talking about cannot be done within Fido then I'd conclude that it isn't a worthwhile project to begin with and save myself the effort or put the same effort somewhere worthwhile. I believe you are admitting defeat before you even start. > Think I'll go ahead & start one up, as ftnsql; that way, the files > can be > acessible even if my system and/or connectino is down... Why? Aren't there enough nodes to spread this around? What about an echo where this sort of activity is encouraged? Even with your above analogy you're still admitting defeat methinks.
