BTW I prefer Syncronet as my BBS software. Thanks, I'll be certain to check out that site and see what I can find. I have downloaded/installed a copy of Synchronet version 3.11 and have been playing with it, but I definitely think the documentation leaves a bit to be desired and some of the "included" shells seem to be missing necessary files. Also, my CoSysOp who I'd set to SL 95 (with myself at SL 99) tried the spy command the first time we'd installed it and it seemed to result in my being the controller of the command even though she'd be essentially abducted into my session, but we couldn't find any explanation, or significant help, in the docs, is this because I had the higher security level? Also, do you guys happen to know of a better newsgroup for this discussion, since I knew from my initial posting that this was the wrong place for this thread? Thanks, -=Conner=- Primary SysOp of The Castle's Dungeon BBS (telnet://tcdbbs.zapto.org) if anyone is able to get through.... (*sigh* my next biggest trouble point...) .
