 Well, being an external protocol, one would presume it's seperate and simply 
"talks to" the protocol to tell it "these are the files i want to upload" and 
tells it where to place the downloaded files :-)

.... and you said SyncTERM didn't support external protocols. Seems to support 
ONE at least :-) As far as being faster than FTP or not, I wouldn't know 
first hand. Thats where the "i've heard" and "I haven't been following it 
closely" comes into play :-)

I also was unaware that NTP had any security holes. What is / are the hole(s) 
if you don't mind me asking?

I only wish the BBS Scene had a monitary budget of some sort. Aside from you 
and others deserving to get paid -- when something is ones full time job, 
things tend to move alot faster. I'll let ya'll know if hell freezes over and 
I win the lotto <G>

As far as supporting something better when you design it -- it may take 
awhile but everything i've seen you release is always ass-kickingly good so I 
look forward to see what your creativity and skill produces in the future :-)
