Hi Sam.
Although I like using Synchronet for a lot of stuff, I am not sure I could use
it for everything on the net.  and I've been using win/based internet tools for
too many years to employ Synch to perform all that, but I do like using some of
the Linux tools for internet. Because I have to use speech technology to access
both computers, some of my options are slightly limited, and eventually I'd
like to put the bbs on Linux, but that's a ways away.  right now I'm just
trying to figure out what to do to download the things I need to build Synch
under linux.
Should I be looking at the file "unix.txt", I think it's called?
