I realize the attempt may be futile with some clients, but I
don't know of a better.  I tried <PRE> for a while...

 ml> it is probably ok... there are newer versions available...
 ml> i have 0.46 in DOS and windows flavors running here...

I don't know where to find a DOS/W31 compliant library online
anymore.  Most of the Tucows mirrors time-out.

 ml> are you local to each other? i'm aware of at least one

Yep.  And I really don't want to to have to use point s/w.

 ml> the system i'm aware of is in portland... in fact, here's a
 ml> list of all those up there in that network (Net 105)...

All, eh?  That's an example of how far things have fallen.

 ml> system also feeds from me because dave's system looses
 ml> things at times and has had problems maintaining
 ml> connectivity in the past...

For a week or more at a time, but who's to complain.

 ml> BBS
 ml> =================================
 ml> bbs.gexonline.net  McMinnville OR

Didn't know about this one.  I think that's reachable.

 ml> Artik Breeze BBS   Brookings OR

Brookings is at the other end of the state, down at the Cal. border.

 ml> Shadowgard         Portland OR

I've talked with Leonard, I think we left that one open as a last resort.

 ml> WCS Online!        Oregon_City OR  Rob

Last time I knew, this was a subscriber board.

 ml> The Bare Bones BBS Aloha OR

Using this one.

 ml> then there's the option to use most any other system if you
 ml> can use telnet and offline mail... since you already use
 ml> multimail, telnet is the only question remaining to be
 ml> answered...

I've tried that sort of lash-up before, and IMO full-duplex over
packet SUCKS.
